HEY I LOVE WHAT YOU DID ! LOVE THE FRONT DOOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow! I have to hand it to you...that took guts, or maybe just needing to survive...I am sure it is a wonderful place filled with charm and the energy of the many talented people that made it happen..kudos to you.
So impressive and amazing. Hats off to you for this undertaking. Looks like I was worth it. I want to see more pictures!
Wow, it's beautiful! I agree, more pictures, please.
Have you viewed the slideshow for the story? More images located here: http://www.dwell.com/slideshows/new-prospects.html
Thanks for your comments. You'll find lots more pictures here: http://www.delsonsherman.com/delson_sherman_apc/projects/prospectheights_rh.php
Jeff, this goes beyond having a vision. Cudos to you to see, feel and smell beyond your first encounter to the reality of all your hard work.
Beautiful! Would love to know the name and source for the color of the aqua door in the dining room.
What an amazing transformation on so little money. You obviously have vision. Fabulous house!
Love what you did to the house! Could you or anyone kindly let me know the brand and model of the light blue sofa at slide 14?
The aqua door isn't really aqua. The color is skewed in the photo. It's actually a clear glass door painted white on the backside. The sofa is a Case Study Day Bed from Modernica.
LOVE this shot (Slide 13). This is an elegance to the texture of the Bed frame and the bedside table (stool) matching and the form/function interplay with the Bed, stool and the baseball bat. Great Job.
Congratulations on getting it finished in "only" ten years. And a fantastic creation to boot. I'm in my 27th year on a 100 year old house (my kids know what the inside of lathe and plaster walls look like) and hoping to finish to a point where we can sell it without any "discontinuities". I don't recommend doing this for anyone with a family or even significant other unless you're willing to eventually pay someone to do many of the jobs. Wonderful you've reached your vision.
your design inspired me. especially the pantry. could you tell where to find the barnyard hardware for your pantry. Thanks
Hey Jeff, Your house is amazing. It seems like the best projects have a story of people taking ownership of their space and creating something uniquely there own. I want to know more about what kind of green element you added to the space. Anything from water conservation to the insulation type. All and all, the project turned out beautiful. Keep it up.

What is the brand of the kettle? We have an old one like that we found in a junk shop and would like to find a new one...
Love the copper! Would love to see it green up as time goes by...
I looooove your house and the fact that you renovated in a "green" manner is only the icing on the cake! I have a brownstone in Philly and you've provided much inspiration 4 my next renno:)
Fantastic. And I love the "closet case" kitchen (slide 10). I've rushed out to my kitchen to see where I can rip something out to put one in.
Well done. I especially like the front entry and stairs.. . one has the sense of arrival off of the sidewalk/street. It really adds another dimension to the front facade. Is there a porch near the front door?
Very nice for sure. Would like to see the work done in some before pics.What did you start with ?
Great reno, I like that this looks actually attainable to the normal person. I would love to see your neighbor on the right hire you to remove the vinyl siding and expose the brick like yours etc.
Such a beautiful home! Can I ask where the bench/table is from?
So beautiful! I want to do this in my bathroom!! heck all of my ceilings!!
