In this full tour, I’m walking you through every room, every transformation, and all the progress we’ve made this past year—including spaces you’ve never seen before. Some of it’s lovely, some of it’s weird, and some of it will make you very glad you weren’t here in the beginning. 😅 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Things and Places I reference in this video* *My favorite shop in town, Madison Street Salvage!* https://www.instagram.com/madisonstreetsalvage (Also if you want to make a visit to our adorable little town, check out Discover Downtown Franklin. :)) https://discoverdowntownfranklin.com/ *My friend Lenart's incredible antique Etsy shop!* https://www.etsy.com/shop/RetroExYu *My collection of upcycled paint with Up Paint!* https://uppaint.com/pages/schoolhouse...
