That is, if you truly recommend the company without hesitation? My fiancee and I live in a decently sized studio in Manhattan and want to renovate extensively, including skim coat walls, refinished floors, new kitchen, bath, perhaps lighting and any additional design services. We have a smallish budget under $40K. If you or your readers have any suggestions as to whom to approach, please email me at aec563@yahoo.com.

Its kind of a long explanation but a brownstone can be a general type of house as well as a specific style. In NYC most people would consider my house a limestone b/c its has a limestone exeterior rather than a brownish stone exterior...but technically you could also call it a brownstone in the generic sense b/c that term refers to the style of that is old, made of brick, has a stone exterior,etc. So in other words, its not technically incorrect to refer to my house as a brownstone but anyone local would call it a limestone. Clear as mud right? <br /><br />Lisa: Only had one home before this one. My style was a bit different back then but here are a couple of photos if you are curious:<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/stefanier/448768567/in/set-72157600054577340/<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/stefanier/448767579/in/set-72157600054577340/<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/stefanier/448760713/in/set-72157600054577340/Mrs. Limestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159249562273770481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-62465047141829640702010-11-10T06:36:29.964-05:002010-11-10T06:36:29.964-05:00I do wonder what the difference is between a brown...I do wonder what the difference is between a brownstone and a limestone.Nazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00316554604305098721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-28164615155204125512010-11-10T00:23:55.242-05:002010-11-10T00:23:55.242-05:00I love Q and A posts.
