Restoring a Period Home

Following in the footsteps of her renovating family, Maria Bradburn and her husband Wayne have restored this 1900s house located in Wolverhampton, England. The builder designed six very different houses around the turn of the century, using this one – his own – as an experiment for all the various features he wished to include in the others. Unlike its neighbours, which are more restrained, this property has numerous decorative Edwardian and Victorian influences: elaborate tiling in the hallway; intricate carvings and mouldings; leaded lights; a panelled ceiling and a most unusual copper fireplace in the back sitting room.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_09.jpg" target="_new"> <img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_09.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_13.jpg" target="_new"> <img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_13.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_02.jpg" target="_new"><img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_02.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_07.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_07.jpg" /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_14.jpg" target="_new"> <img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_14.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_04.jpg" target="_new"> <img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_04.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_03.jpg" target="_new"> <img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_03.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_12.jpg" target="_new"> <img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_12.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_15.jpg" target="_new"> <img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_15.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_08.jpg" target="_new"> <img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_08.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_10.jpg" target="_new"> <img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_10.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_05.jpg" target="_new"><img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_05.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0110bradburn_11.jpg" target="_new"> <img src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/image_gallery_player/0110bradburn_11.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt;" /></a><br /><br />Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!<br />All images from <a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/">here</a>.
