Deadwood, South Dakota is known for it's vast history in mineral mining, so choosing the right hardware for the Victorian on Van Buren was critical! The best thing we did for the restoration of our 1885 Victorian home was to get all new coordinating light switch plates and electrical outlet plates. The small touches in this renovation have made the biggest impact. The first compliment we always receive is about the hardware in this fixer upper! All of the light switch plates and electrical outlet covers are from Nostalgic Warehouse. We chose their Victorian switch plate, which was the perfect choice!

Hand on my heart, I think it would be a Halloween Hand on my heart, I think it would be a Halloween party in the 1920s! 🎃 I’ve also recently become obsessed with an early 20th century New Year’s party on a train (reference East of Eden 😆). 

Where would you time travel? 🖤🎃🖤🎃
