A Restored Home in Carisbrook, Victoria




For those of you who have been reading My Dream Canvas for some time now, know of my love for old homes and restoration projects.  I am instantly drawn to homes with character and this one has an interesting past as well :) This home was discovered by the owners in a small town called Carisbrook in Victoria, Australia. Many of the town’s buildings date back to the1850's and so does this seven room building which was originally a butcher shop!!


Not sure how I would feel about that :) However, the home is filled with interesting things collected by the owners over the years. Little treasures, antiques and junk lovingly restored by them to create a home that is warm, cosy and well loved!


 


 


This unusual and striking artwork came with the house!


 


 




 


 


 









I love how recipes are written  on the chalk board splash back in the kitchen.


 


 




 


 










Such a pretty outdoor space!








 


 













Charcoal drawings by the owner hang beneath a landscape inherited from her grandmother. The cottage clock was acquired at auction.



 


 




 


 


What did you think of this house? I would love to know.
