In Brooklyn, New York, a homeowner carried forward her family’s legacy by continuing the restoration of a Victorian era brownstone that her grandmother first began renovating in the 1980s. Full of ornate craftsmanship, rich architectural character, and decades of family history, the home was thoughtfully modernized to meet the needs of contemporary living while preserving the elegance and detail of its 19th century origins. This Brooklyn brownstone transformation is a heartfelt look at heritage, design, and the beauty of honoring the work started by those who came before.
Diary of an Old Home shares intimate stories from homeowners who have restored historic houses across the country, revealing the artistry, personal histories, and architectural treasures that make these homes truly one of a kind. Each episode celebrates the blend of preservation and modern reinvention that keeps old homes alive for the next generation.

That green & tile fireplace is magnificent!
Beautiful home. Beautiful family. Black Americans lived in Bed Stuy since the Dutch colonial period. My family from the south, began migrating to Bed-Stuy in the 1920’s. Many of the their homes are still in the family too.
