Reminder: This Old House in Brooklyn Premieres Saturday!

It's time! After months of hard work, This Old House is premiering their first New York City project this weekend on PBS. The 19th-century brick row-house in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn is the home of Karen Shen, Kevin Costello (and their three sons) — and with the help of This Old House, they've transformed it from a boarding house into a three-unit building...

Over at This Old House, you can find before & after floorplans and a blog of the project.

From The New York Times: "The first episode will be shown nationally on Jan. 22, but New Yorkers will have to wait until Jan. 24, when it will be shown at 7 p.m. on Channel 13." We will be watching — will you tune in?

Yes! And I'm about to move to Prospect Heights, so I'm pumped.

I LOVE this Old House! I saw the commercials for this episode last week and I'm looking forward to it.

I saw one show on it last night. Beautiful place, but it's gonna take a ton of work (and money). Looking forward to the results, including the yard.

I forget when it runs on my PBS channel but do catch it on the Create channel however and it's a week later there as we still have the final ep of the barn house for this coming ep is the wrap party they throw at the end. That's been a very interesting project.

Im looking forward to this new series. Have been an TOH viewer going way back but hadn't kept up in the past several years and when I got my new digital TV, I've been watching pretty regularly since.

The contractor who did this house, Michael Streaman, also did my apartment. He is really fabulous - I'm so excited to see him and all of the people that worked on this project getting the recognition that they deserve!
