I have a thing for Victorian houses.

I don't know, the houses from the Victorian era and those inspired from it fascinate me, though I don't know much about this era except for the fact that it was during the time Queen Victoria ruled. The designs of the houses- picket fences, large and small windows alike, balconies, the staircases, the designs and patterns of the skirtings and everything, the shape of the house, EVERYTHING!- as well as the fashion- large A-bell dresses that fall to the floor, corsets, head dresses, etc.- all intrigue me. I guess I could call myself an old-vintage baby to some extent. Or not. 
But really, I do love them. To me, they hold some sort of beautiful power that everyone would appreciate. I am quite jealous of my boy-friend Liskov, who lives in a house that looks like it was inspired by Victorian houses; it does, though, contain many modern elements, such as the garage and just normal features of the houses found here in Australia. His house is so beautiful, I cry. If I could swap houses with him, I would. Why? My family chose to live in a beach-looking house, one I'm not appreciative of because, well, it's not my style. Not to mention my house is in a quiet, normal suburb full of normal looking houses. I don't know why you'd build such a house like mine here. Anyway.
The only thing I'd add to Liskov's house is a garden- a nice, bright flower bed full of wild flowers, or just roses. ROSES! His house is clean cut; short green grass with a small bush on the side of the house. So yes, he needs a flower bed. If he gets one, I'll ask mom to buy that house.
Jokes, she loves our house.

Pictures shown have been stapled off Google, do not bash me if the photo's yours, I never said it was mine, lol. I'd go on about fashion and how I adore vintage clothing but maybe that would make this post a tad too long, so I'll stop here and show you 4 pictures, lol. Four only, because, well, idk. Just 4. The first two are my favourite :3






So, what do you think? Do you think they're beautiful? I do, :3
