Completed Projects - New Victorian

New Construction - Queen Anne Victorian - Jacksonville, Florida

Built in 1991, with an addition in 2003, this modern day version of the Victorian Queen Anne style was unexceptional with its

white and gray color scheme.  The owner wanted to dramatically alter the colors and have the porch and gingerbread stand out.

BEFORE New Colors

AFTER New Colors

The new color scheme incorporated several 19th century colors as well as some modern tones. Every color was
picked to enhance the architectural details.  A strong outline for the home was provided by using a turn-of-the-
century red trim color.

The large front porch provides a grand outdoor space.  A traditional Victorian blue ceiling was employed to make the space

seem even larger.  The historic red trim was used on the porch gingerbread to separate it into viewable sections.

An outbuilding was transformed by adding a cupola, shutters and colors from the main house scheme.
