    An Instagram Renovation Tale of Heartbreak and Triumph

    Artist/illustrator Russell Loughlan is a serial house remodeler who labels his latest project “a total impulse buy.” Located on Dolphin Street in the seaside town of Deal, in Kent, England, the 1768 Georgian row house had been untouched since the 1960s. And to see his fixer-upper now, you can understand why he fell for it. But what began as a cosmetic passion project devolved: this is a tale of hidden rot, rebuilding, and blown budgets. “The moment I viewed it, I just knew I had to have it,” Russell tells us. “It broke me financially and mentally, but it was worth it.”

    For months now, Julie and I have been watching Russell chart his renovation on Instagram @thehouseondolphinst while camping out on friends’ sofas during the messiest stages. He’s now enjoying the results of his work—before succumbing to his next place. Russell has a master’s degree in fine art from Central St. Martins, and, since moving to Deal in 2005, he’s overhauled three houses (the first also on Dolphin Street). He recently thrilled his followers by announcing the launch of his own interior design studio, The House on Dolphin Street. Russell is ready to take on commissions and also to offer color consulting and hands-on styling. Join us for a look at what he can do (and scroll to the end for a glimpse of the project as it was).

What sold him on Deal are the “swatches of pastel-colored Georgian streets”—and the fact that it’s a” long, thin stretch of a town, so no matter where you are, you’re on the beach in minutes.”

The structure was designated Grade II— meaning of historic interest and warranting preservation—and slated to be auctioned, but, as a known real estate junkie in Deal, he was granted an advance look and option to buy.
