This! is! amazing!

Wow you must have put so much blood sweat and tears into this beautiful home. It really has paid off. I love the kitchen and the hall bathroom. Something to do with being English and not getting those ‘american’ showers over here. Congratulations on your lovely home.

I am completely blown away! I think the kitchen has to be my favorite. What an amazing job.

W O W!

That is amazing!

I am speechless!!! Beautiful!

Inspiring!

This is simply amazing!!!

her house is amazing. i find myself going back to the kitchen + bath photos (okay, all of the photos) again and again when looking for inspiration.

she has quite the eye, combined with the ability to execute!

truly incredible. i’m SO curious as to the cost of the renovation. awesome!

So great! I love everything about it! I love when people mix high and low, the Ikea stuff added in just really makes the house feel more approachable and realistic to me.

Gosh – I think this is the prettiest reno I’ve ever seen – the house still feels the same, but it’s so beautiful. Truly inspired, and very impressive, on so many levels. Thanks for sharing.

This is amazing. What taste – it’s simply beautiful. Enjoy.

Oh my goodness! This is deliciousness!!!!

I LOVE IT. The colors, the decor, the design. It’s perfect. Amazing!!!

Wow!!!!! What an absolutely lovely transformation! The wood floors in the kitchen–are they original to the house? If so, what a GREAT refinishing job! Really inspirational! Thanks for sharing!

having lived through renos that looked a lot like this, and made me cry in frustration on more than one occasion, I want to say congrats and well done. Your finished home looks spectacular.

Wow what a turnaround!

AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL!!

Does anyone know where her bedroom pillows are from? I love the print.

I. AM. IN. AWE.

This is awesome! One of the best before and afters I have ever seen!

loove the kitchen! what kind of countertops are those?

that’s incredible! what an amazing skill to be able to see that kind of potential! so stephanie!

IN. CRED. IBLE.

Even it it’s not all to my taste (well, mainly that zebra print rug would go) I can appreciate how spectacular a remodel job this is. Thank you for sharing with us! Now I’m going to walk around my condo, alternately hopeful, depressed, and deluded. :P

Unbelievably gorgeous! I love it all, but the kitchen is especially lovely, simple, and well thought out.

Really incredible. They must feel so satisfied! The bathrooms are the most impressive I think…my god they were scary before.

Love everything, especially the grey duvet! Where is it from?

where is that beautiful headboard from?

this place was the ultimate diamond in the rough. this transformation is astounding! such vision and talent!

This is the best reno I have seen.

I am desperate for that bedspread…so lovely! Where is it from?

Stunning! One question – where did the owner get the prints above the master bed (yellow flowers, I think)?

Thanks very much for being so nice!

Erin: The headboard is from Candace Olson but I bought it secondhand from a bedding showroom clearing out their stuff via Craigslist.

Laura: The duvet is from Anthropologie.

Janet: The countertops are soapstone.

Nicole: The accent pillows with the big flowers are from Target. I sewed the yellow and gray dot pillowcases myself using an Amy Butler fabric.

Theresa: The floors in the kitchen are not original to the house. (We removed a wall here so there was no hope of keeping the originals without having a huge ugly mismatched patch). So we intentionally didn’t try to match the floors in the dining room – instead we stuck with a simple skinny plank going the other way so it wouldn’t compete with the nicer floors in the adjacent room.

elli – above the bed I just framed some fabric I had. Its only temporary – I want to replace it with some real art but for now it did the job.

Yes, would love to know where the gray and yellow pillows and shams came from!

Amazing transformation!!

Beautiful! I just love her blog!

@Nicole- The bedroom pillows are the DwellStudio® for Target® Peony Decorative Pillows (http://www.target.com/DwellStudio-Target-Peony-Decorative-Pillow/dp/B000WXX6QA)

@Nycole- The bedspread is the Rosette Quilt from Anthropologie (http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=HOME-BEDDING&id=993039&catId=HOME-BEDDING&pushId=HOME-BEDDING&popId=HOME&sortProperties=&navCount=15&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=068&colorName=RAISIN&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType=)

That is beautiful! How inspiring! The hard work pays off it looks like!

WOW!
WOW!
Words escape me.
WOW!

I adore the kitchen and bathrooms. So classic and inviting. I want to move in! All going in my inspiration folder.

Love this. Where did the stools in the kitchen come from? They’re perfect.

Must have spent a fortune. Love the bedspread. What a lovely job they have done. Thanks Design Sponge for sharing.

The hard work & thoughtful design choices are astounding! Love it.

Can I chop off your kitchen & put it in my house?

Wow, just stunning. Now THAT’s how you renovate! :)

i love the bedding.

This is absolutely stunning! I love the colors.

The tiles that you chose in both bathrooms are beautiful. I especially like the historic looking black and white tile. The hardwood floors are wonderful too! You are lucky to have such great floors to work with.

The baroque frame around the TV is such a great idea!

amazing! where is the bed headboard from that looks like a couch??

I so adore those grey and yellow pillows. I regret not getting them when I had the chance!

beautiful! i love the colors of the rooms

i am speechless… amazing!

Beautiful!!!

WOW! I am moving in tomorrow! Bravo! please share the paint brand and color name for guest bedroom walls (green) and those creamy-dreamy kitchen cabinets. Thank you!

Wowza! Nice work – that must have taken forever!

That is amazing. The colors are beautiful and look at that hardwood floor!

Gorgeous renovation, everything turned out wonderfully. The kitchen is just about perfect!

Does anyone know where the guest room bedspread with the lace pattern is from?

oh my god! it looks amazing. the master bedroom and all the bathrooms are just perfection. and don’t even get me started on the kitchen!!!

Love everything! especially the color palette and that quilt from Anthro

What a beautiful home! I absolutely love everything they did. I especially love the headboard in the first room. I love that it’s not just a padded headboard, but it also has the two little ends sticking out. It’s so pretty!

I do this for a living, and this is easily a $250 000 renovation.
(labour plus materials).

Beautiful transformation.
Way to recycle an old building!

Liz: The comforter in the guest room is from Walmart (purchased for $15 online clearance)

Laura: The stools are made by a company called Lyon. You can purchase them at various places online. They come in gray but I spray painted them this aqua color.

Wonderful! As someone who is in the midst of restoring a 100+ year old victorian I can appreciate all of the hard you have put in. Love the results!

[applause] Gorgeous! And I love that you kept the character and elegance of the original. Really amazing job…

Gorgeous and so inspiring!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Love the green in the bedroom. And I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again … there isn’t a single room a chandelier doesn’t make better.

WOW! This is absolutely incredible!

one word. incredible!

gorgeous!!
would you mind telling me the color of the hall bath? thinking of something like this for our master bedroom. thanks!

Beautiful! I love the duvet in the guest room…

Gorgeous! I love the full house b&a.

I am … speechless. Wow. WOW. The entire reno is unbelievable, but when I saw the new kitchen I actually exclaimed aloud, to an empty house, “Shut the front door!” Dang, woman! That’s some inspired design.

what-an-amazing-job. How long did it take you to get it like this? It looked so worn out!

May this beuatiful renovation inspire the great many. If everybody did so with their houses, it would be a boost for the economy and for a positive thinking. Congratulations

Katherine: Thanks. The color in the hall bath is Benjamin Moore Beach Glass. The color in the master bath is one shade up on the chip and its called Quiet Moments.

Beautifully done! What is the paint color you used on the walls in the living room?

Oh Good Lord! If only I was an American. Such fantastic opportunities

What an absolutely gorgeous renovation.

I’ve got renters envy…

What did they do with that gorgeous mirror?! And they didn’t strip the trim?!

They did an amazing job! I love all the renovations!

fantastic job Mrs. Limestone! I hope you are doing this professionally somewhere!

LOVE IT!! And I love that you used a table I’m considering buying as your side table in the living room. Gives me a good idea of the proportion. And looks great in your living room!

holy gorgeous, esp. that kitchen. My favorite feature has to be the ceiling medallions though. Would be curious to hear about a source for those.

Thanks for such an inspiring look!

that looks like a.lot.of.work! It looks like you saved the sink in that second bathroom? Love that! The rooms are stunning. The floors in the kitchen and just outside (inlaid wood) look great.

Amazing! I can only imagine how much work went into your home. It looks incredible.
I just spent the last five days plastering, sanding and painting my dinning/living room so I have a small understanding of the intense project you undertook.

Overall I love this… but I like the old tub so much more than the new one! Not convinced that couldn’t have been reglazed/salvaged.

Oh wait? Did it just move from one bathroom to the other?

I am from England and have followed Mrs Limestone for months, she and her husband have a beautiful home, Stephanie is one of the few bloggers who take the time to reply! She is an inspiration so happy Design sponge have recognised all her hard work!

So inspiring! I would love to know the colors you used for your living room walls and your kitchen cabinets. Thanks!

What is the name of the color you used for the master bedroom? This is all absolutely GORGEOUS!

I am curious to the dimensions of the kitchen. I have a kitchen I believe to be similar in size and am remodeling this summer. I’m just trying to find some inspiration… Thanks!

I also live in a 100 year old house but luckily it was mostly remodeled when we bought it. I have looked at the pictures several times and I am stealing your ideas!!! WOW!

Absolutely stunning, Mrs. Limestone! Would love to know where the guest bed frame is from. I’ve been looking for one just like it. Thanks!

This is breathtaking. I would have been so intimidated, but you took this project on bravely. Beautiful work!

I always love her blog and her home is outstanding. Such vision to turn the mess into this gorgeous place!

Fantastic, love this! Why would anybody want a new house when you can have this?

What a talented eye and mind to create such a gorgeous home from a frightening mess, this is beautiful!

Jenn: The guest bed came from JCPenney.

Katie: I don’t remember the dimensions offhand – if you email me I’ll look up the exact dimensions – but I want to say 13 feet long x 8 feet wide (exluding the room next to it which is the dining room).

Julie: The paint color on the walls in the master bedroom is Benjamin Moore Silver Marlin.

Elizabeth: The color on the living room walls is Benjamin Moore Silver Fox. I don’t know the paint color on the kitchen cabinets – they came with that color already painted on. I believe it was called Buttercream but who knows what the real paint color was.

Levina: Yes, the tub was just moved to the downstairs bathroom. We wanted to save it but it worked a lot better in a room that didn’t require everyday use.

Emily: Got all of the ceiling medallions (the original plaster ones were long gone by the time we go there) online. Don’t remember the name of the company but a google search will find them. They work great and are not too expensive.

Cassidy: Thanks but no – I don’t do this professionally. One giant stressful renovation is enough for a lifetime :)

Magda: The mirror is in the dining room (you can see it in the photos). No, we didn’t strip the trim. I prefer it painted.

Thanks so much for the kind comments!!

disappointed that it doesn’t seem to keep with the character of the original. shame to toss out the claw footed tub…

W O W ! ! ! You truly have a gift. This is an amazing transformation!

I love that you used the original sink from one bathroom and claw foot tub from another. I never understand why people throw away things like that when they can just refurbish them! You home looks amazing. Good for you.

You did an absolutely STUNNING job. Could you tell me what color paint is in the office? Also, where did you get that great silver desk and black dresser/cabinet?

Sarah: The tub wasn’t tossed out. It was just moved to another bathroom.

Perry: Thanks. The office is painted in Benjamin Moore Waterfall. Both the desk and the sideboard are from Ikea.

HOLY MOLY! wow!!!! thats amazing. i can’t imagine how much work that was!

WOW! AMAZING!You truly transformed the space. It’s gorgeous! Your Works are certainly inspirational! :)

What you did takes a lot of courage and persistence,
The thing is that the result came out lovely!
Not only that you created a home from this mess, but also designed it beautiful!
Bravo.

This is incredible! What a transformation! The pink bathroom was a total nightmare before and it turned out beautifully. I love the clawfoot tub from the other bathroom in there. Ohhh and the kitchen. So beautiful. Amazing work! It definitely paid off.

This is absolutely amazing! I am drooling over BOTH bathrooms! Fantastic job!!

Fantastic & God Bless you, you left that beautiful hering bone floor!

OMG! I love it!! Great interior design job!

loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee these renovations. I am in the process of renovating my Brooklyn limestone and way over my head. Could you pass along the name of the contractor that you used???
