My Houzz: Thoughtful Updates to an Outdated 1900s Home (25 photos)

Houzz at a Glance

Who lives here: Dave Roberts, Lara Van Lannen, daughter Lilianna (age 2) and cat Tipper

Location: Winthrop, Massachusetts

Size: 2,400 square feet (223 square meters); 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms

Year built: The land was purchased in 1897, and the owner was living there by 1906, according to town records.

Van Lannen created the “Lilianna” artwork by stenciling the letters on colored paper. The couple found the 1960s Bambi decorations that hang above Lili’s crib online. “Dave remembered seeing the same one hanging over his baby sister’s changing table as a little boy,” says Van Lannen, “and he wanted this in Lili’s room.”
