Its been over a month since the last of the subcontractors completed their work at the renovation of the Indiana house.
Its high time we shared the final product.
Betsy showed you the front of the house yesterday.

Now here is the back of the house.
Before there was a dilipadated screened porch, overgrown shrubs and a strange roof structure built over the entrance in to the cellar.

Wow. I LOVE EVERYTHING you did. It doesn’t even look like the same house.
Well, if I:
A. Had a house, and
B. Had the money to hire you, I would
C. Absolutely do it as I love this!!
Wow! It looks fantastic, and you really can’t tell it’s been remodeled (in a good way). Everything looks like it belongs. I really can’t imagine it will stay on the market long.
Stunning!
I am so insanely in love with this house. The exterior color choices are fantastic, the bathrooms are all pure bliss. I wish I was in this real estate market…seriously love it!
I only wish I lived there! I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Beautiful job! All the details are lovely and you can see how much time and planning when into this remodel. It is a really a gorgeous finished product.
Oh my goodness, this is truly amazing–both from a transformation aspect, as well as a style aspect. I love everything about this place. Congratulations!
WOW Sarah!! I love what you did with the built-ins near the fireplace. Nice touch with the glass cabinets.
There’s a lot of craftmens and bungalows here in LA that need your help!
I also love the yellow door!!
Amazing! Gorgeous! Stunning! We’re totally drooling over here. Thanks so much for sharing the inspiring and unbelievable eye candy!
xoxo,
Sherry (& John)
Oh my God the YHL people left you a comment!!! HAHA!!
It is beautiful Sarah.
fantastic!!! I love it. You made the old house look fresh again, without losing it’s historic integrity. As someone in the preservation field, I find it so refreshing to see that care was taken to bring this beauty back to life.
I am also drooling over all your lighting fixture choices as well as the faucets. I’m shopping for this stuff for my own reno project coming up, and you’ve certainly given me some inspiration.
thanks for sharing
I was doing some serious house stalking on this one and was hoping that the listing agent would have had some interior shots on her webpage. The bathroom and livinging room built-ins and kitchen cabinet with the wine bottle area are definitely working for me. Also really like the warm tones in the stair handrails. Looking forward to following along on your next project!
What is the paint color in the upstairs hallway? Stunning.
Timmy-Let me at Pasadena, just need about 700K to get in on a property there and get to work
Sherry-Glad to make you drool, thanks for taking a look
Jenn-Hope to hear more about your adventures in remodeling
Haley-def happy with the built-ins, especially pleased with the storage upstairs
Megan-we’re doing a post on interior paint next week, meanwhile the paint color is BM’s Stonewashed, lovin’ that color
You’re killing me. That is freaking gorgeous.
This is just yummy! I am in LOVE with the color scheme on the exterior!
I think I just died…ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
If you painted the door yourselves, what is the color? I’ve been looking for a perfect shade of yellow for my door as well!
I am blown away by the After of this house…it is absolutely gorgeous!! The front porch that was added on is my favorite part.
You are amazing!!
I just died!! I want that house – it is absolutely perfect!
Amazing!!! What a great job. This makes me want to buy a run-down place and fix it up.
One thing I’d like to see are some after pics taken from the same angles as the before pics (like you did for the view from the front).
Absolutely beautiful inside and out! Loved every part of it. The exterior turned out wonderful and the interior looks like the perfect blend of period and contemporary. Great job!
This is seriously the house I see myself in when I close my eyes and dream of the perfect craftsman-style abode. Sigh.
Seriously amazing before and after. And my dream house!
Oh my goodness. This is incredible! I wish I could have you renovate my parents’ house in Nebraska. It’s very similar – a run down 1920s. I love the colors and the yellow door is perfect!
My absolute dream house!!!!! You did a wonderful job… Love it!
THIS IS AMAZING!!! I absolutely love what you’ve done with the place….I could move right in
You’ve got skills!
Um, totally amazing.
OMG it is the best before and after project i have ever seen. I loved this house and i would buy it even not to think twice
Holy smokes, I just had to mop a pile of drool off my floor. This is STUNNING! Y’all are amazing! I LOVE the serene paint colors, ALL the fixtures and finishes, and the exterior is to die for. These homeowners have to be beside themselves. I’m from Indiana – perhaps I can talk the parental units into a move
What town is it in?
Hi Stephanie,
The Indiana project is named for the street its on, its actually in NC. Maybe your parents are looking for a change of scenery–a move to the South!
Could you tell me the brand and color you used for your upstairs hall? Thanks!
t in ct – The upstairs hall is painted with Ben Moore’s Stonewashed. It’s really beautiful and very clean!
So tastefully done, excellent job!!!
Ok AMAZING job!!! What a difference! The attention to detail is fantastic.

We are currently in the process of building a co-housing community in Washington. I love the color of the exterior on the Indiana Project. What is the name of the paint?
Shannon
Shannon-The exterior paint color is Sherwin Williams Outerspace.
what color was the door? Thanks for sharing
Love the living room paint color! Would you please share? Thanks!
Hi Heather-The living room is BM’s Stonington Gray
Hi, do you have the paint colors for: The Hall Bath (the slate / blue color) and the Master bath? I love this whole house and your colors are fantastic!
Hey Kellie-the hall bath is BM’s Winter Lake, the master bath is BM’s Healing Aloe. Thanks!
I can not believe that is the same house, the exterior is beyond amazing and that upstairs bedroom is the coziest thing ever! Great renovation!
You and the house are BRILLIANT!!!!! Amazing! I love the whole thing! You are a talented woman!
AKxo
Please share your sources and colors for the project….please?! Like kitchen cabinet color, counter top color, upstairs hall paint color, hall light source, master bedroom wall color.
AK xo
AK-Thanks for your compliments!A lot of the sources you asked about were mentioned in posts about the Indiana house when it was under construction. Search “indiana” and you will find all related posts and you should find all of the answers.
could you please tell me where you got the hallway “star” shaped light fixture?
Vincent-got that at Pottery Barn & they are not selling that particular style any more. Shades of Light has one or I would just conduct a Google search to find the cheapest version.
This house is so beautiful! Is the exterior color really Shermin Williams’ Outerspace? The color on SW’s paint fan seems much grayer, while the house looks more teal/blue. But beautiful!
You and the house are bright!!!!! wonderful! I love the whole thing! You are a brilliant female!
I love this house! So cute!

Hi there! Any chance you can tell me where you purchased the green tiles for the upstairs bathroom? I NEED to have them in my master bathroom. Thank you
I purchased them through a local tile store, Meadow Creek Tile in Southern Pines. Go to your local tile showroom and ask to see the different collections they carry in a classic 4×4 tile. I think these tiles were likely American Olean or Daltile. I really wanted subway but it wasn’t in the budget. The inspirational image that originally guided me had light green subway tiles (3×6)!
Hey Sarah,
Thanks so much for this info. Just one last question, are the tiles more of a spearmint color or like a actual green? American Olean and Daltile have some similar shades but I think yours look more spearmint in the photo.
Thanks again for your help
Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just
wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do
you stop it, any plugin or anything you can
advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.
Probably my favorite site to check in on. I love the work you do, and I wish I had the same skill set and ideas to follow in your footsteps. In the meantime, I’ll live vicariously through you
Keep it up!
