We are in the midst of a full gut renovation of a house which is over 120 years old. I have spent tons of time browsing Pinterest but I was wondering if anyone reads or knows of any blogs or Instagram accounts showing old renovated homes?
We are working to keep the style of the house very traditional and to the time period.

Following along. I love old homes. Our home is pre-revolutionary and the original center part was built in 1690. We are slowly restoring it and would love to find blogs, etc... to read. Our newest tackle will be our kitchen.

& more traditional house.

Her Instagram feed is also delightful (https://www.instagram.com/jennysteffenshobick/?hl=en), although she does promote the sale of her own products as well if that bothers you
She also recommended following Nine & Sixteen, which I've enjoyed and am also inspired by:
