In Portland, Oregon, a couple who built a successful design and build company took on their most personal project yet: an iconic 1904 Colonial Revival home on a bustling corner of the city. As the new caretakers of this century old property, they worked to preserve its historic presence while infusing every room with their signature warmth and thoughtful design. The result honored the home’s original character—carefully restored details, classic proportions, and timeless materials—while bringing new life to a beloved neighborhood landmark. This Portland Colonial transformation is a shining example of how creative stewardship can keep a home’s legacy alive for the next generation.
Diary of an Old Home shares intimate stories of homeowners across the country who have revived historic houses with patience, craft, and a love for the past. Each episode reveals the architectural details, layered histories, and meaningful updates that make old homes feel both preserved and renewed.

Wonderful, with so much respect for the history of the house and anyway: new and fresh👏👏👏
I’m confused why so little of the home was actually shown!? Tiny little pieces of it were shown. Like why talk about this wonderful unique sink but then I’ll show just a tiny piece of it? Super strange, I would have really loved to have actually seen this entire house as opposed to just a bunch of pretty cinematic shots
Charming couple in a charming home .
Couldn’t have found better owners/custodians for this home. They have an excellent eye and have decorated so well!
I love this house when I walk by it, and it’s wonderful to know how it was so loving restored!
I have walked past this house for many years and have always loved it. I am glad to learn the owners fixed it up themselves. It’s lovely.
I need to know the color of the walls behind them during their interview. I’ve been dreaming of that color for my home.
Absolutely gorgeous and well done!! 😍
