1893 Victorian Farmhouse

A journal about life in Wisconsin, decorating, and restoring an 1893 Queen Anne Victorian built by Civil War veteran John Olson Wrolstad and his wife Mathea. Read on to see lots of old photographs, and read stories of the second owners Thomas and Maren Quien, and their children who filled the house with memories for 90 years. Very First Photo I Took of the House Feb 18, 2007 - 30 minutes after we bought the house.

We have a couple options to finish off the beadboard. I like the idea of capping it with a larger board at the top, then running a narrow shelf (rail) around the perimeter.

About Me

Mrs. D: My name is Linda (Mrs. D). I work out of my studio as a free style long arm quilter, and designer of beaded handbags and soft luggage. Since 2007 my husband and I have been restoring a Queen Anne Victorian. The majority of projects are finished after eight years. But, I don't think one ever finishes work on hundred year old home. Our journal http://www.1893victorianfarmhouse.blogspot.com shares our life here in rural Wisconsin with many before and after restoration photos and history of the two previous owner families. We feel honored to repair this old house and give it another hundred years of life. I have lots of hobbies, most of them a result of the restoration project. I love to sew draperies, quilting queen size bed quilts, machine embroider fine linens, re-cover vintage lampshades and collector/restorer of vintage and antique sewing machines. I've become good at repairing interior walls, and scraping, priming, and painting the exterior of the house. Its hard work, but a satisfying journey. I hope you become a follower of my blog. I have lots of photos to share with you. Sincerely mrs.durrant1@gmail.com
