Where are those colored dot hooks from?! I see them everywhere, but still don't know where they are from....I assumed Ikea, but can't find them there.

What is the exact paint color in the kitchen? It's great!

This is an awesome house. Great job. Love the before and after photographs...too few of us forget the "before" photos because they're too painful. I love the bookcases in the dining room. The fireplace is making me want to force my dogs to lay elsewhere in front of my mantle so I can put one in too!!!

Where did you get the (folding?) closet doors in the bedroom? They're the first stylish way to outfit a closet I've seen in a very long time.

Like like like!!

That green is spectacular!

I would have loved to see how the curved wall in the bathroom meets the floor. Is it one continuous curve? It seems like that would make you stand kind of far back from the sink.

I think this reno has struck a great balance between keeping the original details and adding some fun updates.

Well done. Please share where you got the closet doors!

I have a long list of things I'd love to know! (Some duplicates from above)
-how the yellow bathroom sink meets the floor
-how the downstairs bath connects to the rest of the house. (It looks like it used to have a door into the kitchen that was closed.)
-style/brand of couch - love the red!
-closet doors? where'd they come from?

I love that you've taken an older style house and mixed with contemporary flare. It's lovely!
Kudos to you for all your hard work. It shows.

beautiful!
a few questions:
what's the paint color in the dining room, and in the bathroom (the blue-ish) wall?
and what's the floor in the kitchen? is it laminate or wood? thanks!

Ah...your house looks very similar to mine. Same paint colors, similar furnishings, similar vibe (though, your bathroom and floors are much cooler). Realizing this made me finally realize what is missing from my house and what I believe is missing from yours...

As a totally constructive criticism, your personality doesn't really read through in your space. It leaves your house feeling a bit cold and generic. I don't have a good sense of either your spirit or the things you like to do. I might live in your house, or really any other person that has a minimal, modern and a bit of a re-use aesthetic. There's loads of us like that.

So, I am currently struggling with this myself, but how could you further personalize the space so when your friend walks in the door they immediately know they're walking into your house...and not, say, mine? I mean, from a distance even our pictures look virtually the same because they're hung in those same Ikea frames.

To end a totally positive note, though, I love your renovations! The curved wall in the bathroom is super cool.

Could you fill us in on paint colors? Beautiful space, I especially love the bathroom tiles. =)

So many things to love in this place! I really like how the kitchen and dining space came together. Also there's a lot of wood grain hiding out around the space like in the bar and the bookcases. I don't think it's impersonal at all...for all I know you took those photos in the IKEA frames. I don't think you're missing a thing.

@ allioak - Just wondering - what did you realize is missing from your place?

second and third paint color names. Especially the upstairs bathroom color. Love it.

Hi, from a fellow Rhodilandah.

Love the bookcases with the wood panels, the fresh white trim on the grey beige walls.

I am using that combo and it is smashing with any kind of colors- mine are grey, fuschia, black and pink.

Great house with lots to love. I'd also like to know about the closet doors, as well as the bedding. Btw, that green is a color I never would have thought to use, but it looks fantastic!

So I was thisclose to posting a question about how to renovate the bathroom of the house we are in the midst of buying. And then I saw that yellow bathroom with the OMG gorgeous tile. So never mind about the post. I have my answer.

so - did I miss why the bathroom wall is curved? or just because it is cool? which it is - not being sarcastic at all.

I really like your home. Nice preservation with some spunk. I think I need to know that green color too for my guest room.

I love the whole kitchen area- that back splash will come!!
Are there 2 different colors - dining/kitchen and then living room? What are those colors?

Amazing transformation! I liked see the before and after shots.

That yellow bathroom is FABULOUS!

Love the 2nd floor bathroom color. Care to share the details?

Perfect. Simply perfect. Congratulations on creating a wonderful home.

The house was preserved and updated just the right amount. I think it comes together beautifully. Something about this tour really resonates with me, it is one of my favorites.

Lovely! I'm glad you preserved the stained glass in the door, too.

Can you share where the bedding is from?

LOVELY HOME!!!

What is the brand/color of the 2nd floor bathroom? Its exactly like what i was looking for!

Really love the clean lines and uncluttered look of this home. Well done!

Love the bathroom and the yellow tiling, also the floors (am curious as well about the kitchen floors).

Would really love to know what color SW paint was used in the living room! Thanks.

Love what you have done with your house! I grew up in Newport and seeing that layout reminds me of so many houses my friends lived in. Your changes definitely feel young and fun and a great update of a historic cottage- would have loved to have lived there!

Hi, here are some answers, hopefully I get them all...
Paint colors, all Sherwin Williams
Kitchen/Dining -Sea Salt
1st Fl bathroom -Banana Cream
Living rm/Entry -Mega Greige (great color, works with everything!!)
Bedroom -Parakeet
2nd Fl bathroom -Calico

-Closet doors, are the cheap hollow core bifold doors. I just dressed up the faces with mdf square stock and stock pine trim

-1st floor bathroom tile is from Waterworks. The curve of the wall becomes the floor. The curve starts just at your toes when you stand at the sink. Here is a link with a drawing and photograph if you want to see more. The curve was done just for looks, although it did make my rough plumbing easier. If I was to do the bathroom again, I would lower the faucet and glass shelf a couple inches.

-The kitchen floor is porcelain tile. Its from United Distributors Tile Group.

-Bed cover is from Bed Bath & Beyond

-We didn't get any of our frames from Ikea

-Yes, still waiting to get the tile backsplash for the kitchen and a shower door for the 1st floor bathroom.

-The couch was purchased from a local place called Modern Furniture, although their furniture is really that modern.

-The 1st floor bathroom used to be off of the kitchen, but now its off the dining room. Small improvement, but we did gain valuable kitchen cabinet space.

Sorry I hit enter by mistake

I meant to say "their furniture is really not that modern", regarding where we purchased our couch.

We still have a bit left to do with the interior finishes, (mostly wall hangings), so maybe thats why Allioak thinks it is a bit generic or cold.

Here is the link to the bathroom image and drawing.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer all our questions! Your place is awesome and inspirational.

I have been to this house before and after the renovation. It is a wonderful blend of old and new and completed on a very minimal budget combined with an abundance of sweat equity. I think Dan and Sara's efforts can inspire many to renovate without going into the debt abyss.

Beautiful home. Very thoughtful renovating. I really love the built ins in the dining area as well as the woodwork throughout. Thanks for sharing.

People spend too much on kitchen redux projects. With work, paint and imagination the old kitchen could have been very cool.

Excellent move changing the bathroom door to the dining room. Hee hee, or maybe the lesser of two evils? I hate bathroom smells in the kitchen! My sister has a bathroom off her kitchen--awkward.

Also, I absolutely love the bookcases in the dining room! For us it makes so much sense because it's where we do homework, etc. I hope to incorporate this in our home! Thanks for the inspiration!

You guys used two of my favourite colours: Lemon yellow and apple green! :o)

What a superb renovation!! Very pleasing with lots of nice and practical features. You've taken a bit less than 1200 s.f. and made it attractive and comfortable and still have plenty of breathing room. Well done in all regards.
