11. Vintage Victorian Salvaged Treasure
Inject your home with character, history, and soul by sourcing a salvaged, antique Victorian front door. These historic treasures are known for their exquisite craftsmanship, featuring intricate hand-carved wood panels, stained glass inserts with floral or geometric motifs, and heavy, ornate brass hardware. Rather than restoring it to look brand new, embrace the gentle distressing and historic patina of the wood. Paint it in a classic Victorian hue, such as a deep plum, forest green, or rich burgundy. Hang a vintage-style brass lantern above the door to cast a warm, nostalgic glow over your beautifully preserved piece of history.
