Victorian Farmhouse Offers a Simple Glimpse into Beautiful Comfort

Today’s home tour by Sweenor Builders is all about simple beauty and comfort. A Victorian farmhouse is one of my favorite types of homes and this one is especially captivating. From the charming, well-kept exterior to the vintage styling inside, you’re sure to fall in love with this Rhode Island abode.

Wicker furniture is a staple for any Victorian home, whether used inside or out. The porch is large enough to accommodate this cozy conversation spot, along with a pretty  swing at the far end.

A pale blue front door welcomes visitors and family to the renovated coastal home. Great care was taken to preserve the dwelling’s history while creating comfort and efficiency for the family.

Lucky is the person who enjoys a Dutch door for their front entry. Open the top half and enjoy the wonderful breezes that allow the scent of flowers and fresh mown grass to waft through the home.

Six-over-one windows line the porch side of the wall in the living room. Creamy walls create a serene backdrop for the wicker chairs and the sofa adorned with a vintage hydrangea-embellished slipcover. The unique coffee table appears to be slatted wood and I’m guessing it’s some type of sea-worthy piece. I tried to find information on it but came up empty-handed.

A brick fireplace features a mantel with dental molding. You’ll see custom trim work throughout the Victorian farmhouse as you travel from one room to the next. From this angle, you get a glimpse into the family room with its bookcase wall.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining space with built-in drawers and ceiling trim work. I like the vintage pendant light above the drawer area. It’s unexpected.

The family room showcases plenty of bookshelves, and this is how books should be displayed, in my humble opinion. With the spines facing out so you know which book is where. Not to mention the array of colors that are added to the room. I’ve never understood the trend to face the pages out, but that’s just me.

The hall displays a gorgeous Oriental runner and vintage lighting. A slender bench provides a place for dropping your purse or adding a bouquet of flowers just for fun.

The simplicity of the downstairs bedroom in the Victorian farmhouse is quite appealing. I don’t like a lot of clutter in my own bedroom because I go to sleep thinking I need to clean it up. The French doors provide a great view and easy access for heading outside.

The adjacent bathroom enjoys the modern convenience of a walk-in shower but bears the vintage appeal of old-style flooring and lights.

A pretty pale blue bedroom on the second floor features a pair of vintage twin beds with simple white bedding.

An upstairs bathroom shows the comfort of a new tub that’s wrapped in custom woodwork to appear vintage. I love the corner windows that allow you to open them to enjoy the outdoor breezes. It’s like taking a bath outside, but private.

And surprise! The Rhode Island farmhouse has a beautiful in-ground pool in the backyard!

I consider my own home to be a Victorian farmhouse, but on a less grand scale.
