Renovation Projects


Welcome! Welcome!

Step into our little nineteenth century brick rowhouse. You can put your shoes here and hang your coat there. Care for a tour?

Built in 1890, our home was badly in need of renovation when we purchased it in 2013. It had been the product of several misguided renovations that resulted in the butchery of many of its original features. Original hardwoods, original cabinets, original fireplace, original front door and transom--all gone. It seemed only the bad original things remained-- boiler, radiators, wiring-- you get the idea.

Yet somehow, when we walked through the front door that first day, I immediately felt at home here. Despite the ugly linoleum floors, wobbly ceiling fans, and dreadful vinyl siding. After touring the small brick home,  I turned to my husband Mark and said "I think this is the one."

Now, two years later, we've slowly transformed the shabby, neglected home into something that's uniquely our own. I've honestly lost count of the renovations we've done! But looking back at the "before" pictures and seeing the "after"... It just amazes me what some determination, paint, and elbow grease can do! And what's more... we did it all ourselves!

Our kitchen renovation was recently featured on Apartment Therapy!

  2. How Mr Benjamin Lee service  grant me a loan!!!

    Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to Mr Benjamin service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to this funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 5 working days just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advise to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% rate and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact this funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on { lfdsloans@outlook.com} or Text through Whatsapp +1-989 394 3740.
