- When Jamie and Frantz Arty bought a stately Colonial-style house in 2018 they didn't know it was once owned by a prominent New York abolitionist and judge. #somethingnew #december2021
I just came across this show. This family in Long Island is beautiful! I love that Jamie embraces history with her own twist and wanting whimsy throughout as well. Beautiful job they have done!
Gorgeous family, incredible work! Inspiring story!
Beautiful home and beautiful family!
I watched this episode today & almost made me cry.
I love this show, this episode in particular. My reason for loving this home is two-fold. First, I love the home's history the original owner being an abolitionist who hired a woman of color who bought her own freedom. I love that they thought of her like family and had her buried in the family plot next to them and that 190 years later, a family of color bought and restored the home. The second thing I love is the wife's philosophy about childhood and how to create a sense of the wonder of that time in a person's life through color choice, decor and the little fairy doors she had placed throughout the home. I hope that she won't mind that I borrowed her phrase, "Bathe in the Moonlight of Childhood for as long as possible." The house, the family--just lovely.
Gorgeous!! I used to drive by this house when I still living on the north shore. So glad this home stayed true to the home's bones. Congrats
Love older homes. Great bonus when the homes have an interesting history.
This is a beautiful home. I love that they’re doing this.
So much history probably haunted ahhhhh! Nice home though.
Very cool! Where is that cemetery located?
