Why Franklin Tennessee for our next Reno...

I have come to the conclusion I was born in the wrong era. I should have been born around 1925 so I could be in my twenties by 1945. I would then get to wear the fabulous clothes and go to the smokey bars with piano's playing and red lipstick a-blazing! Downtown Franklin reminds me of that time for some reason. It is filled with historical buildings, character and charm that make me so so happy. Exhibit A

Franklin is about 20 minutes from Nashville but feels forever away. I discovered it about 6 months after I moved to Nashville, would later work at a couple of fabulous places on these streets and now will be renovating a house about 7 blocks away = HAPPY LAUREN.

I have looked for a house around the cottage lined streets of Franklin for 2 1/2 years now. I knew I would renovate when I ultimately found one (because the houses I love that are already done and I would make my forever home are about $800,000 and not in the budget yet).  Exhibit B:

So, this will not be our long-term home but it will be so much fun for the time being. It's walking distance to the square so while we are there...we will enjoy that. eeeek! I am looking forward to making this home something someone walks in and says, "I have to have it"!


Love,
Lauren
