CB2 has a great “Victorian Novel” trend right now (click here to see). I totally dig the pieces in this collection, as I love blending classic with contemporary. Since so much of the inspiration for this collection is classic, I figured, why can’t someone DIY this look with some thrift store shopping and some spray paint?
Here are my tips on how you can update your home décor with these Victorian Mod accents with some items you can find at your local thrift store, garage sale, or estate sale.

I don’t have a photo example of this one, and it would likely be a more involved DIY. Just imagine finding a sturdy old chair that maybe has some bad paint or upholstery. Re-upholstering is not as difficult as it sounds, and re-painting to a mod color? Well, that’s easy.
