I am back today with another of my favorite places in Tennessee!
City Farmhouse. (even the name is cool, no?)
My hubs now refers to this shop as 'where the Urban Farmgirl would live'. Get it?
City. Farmhouse. Oh, he thinks he is sooo funny. But I love it so much, I would move in if I could!
This time we are in Franklin, which is right outside Nashville. If you want to visit the town where you are most likely to be eating lunch at a table next to Kelli Pickler or Faith Hill...this is it! Most of the country stars live in and around Franklin. It is a charming, quaint and has some SERIOUSLY good shopping! Antiques, boutiques and fabulous restaurants are everywhere!
Before my visit, I had found City Farmhouse on Facebook and through their blog. Kim, the owner sent me a message and told me to be sure to stop by and I am soooo glad I did! Kim and her husband David are two of my very favorite people on this Earth! We talked and talked forever...another blogger-meeting with a happy ending. I just love meeting the people behind the blog! They made me feel so welcome, I can't wait to go back and visit them again!
There store was amazing, so I thought I would take you on a little tour!

I {LOVE} the tractor grill hung on the wall with a light in it! That would be sooo awesome in our media room! David makes those, by the way.
They carry some of the best painted furniture...but it doesn't stick around long, so if you see a piece you want you have to get it when you see it!
I about died over this door...and yes, it did cross my mind to ask if I could take it off the hinges and take it home with me. I really should start carrying a screwdriver in my purse for such occasions!
{smile...}
Let's have a closer look, shall we??
{sigh...}
I stared at this old window for a loooong time. Isn't it fantastic? It is so big, and the beveled glass was almost too much. It was ah-ma-zing!
Don't even get me started on this antique table wrapped in old zinc. I want one soooo bad, but it needs to be larger. My hubs would just think I was the coolest wife ever if I brought home one of these for his poker table.
Love, love, LOVE this chandi!
And my favorite piece of the whole visit..this old farm table. If I had a way to haul this baby home, I would have. It is really long, maybe 8-10 feet. It would have made an incredible dining table out on my porch.
City Farmhouse has a ton of architectural salvage, too! Doors, window...all with chippy paint in a rainbow of colors!
And the lockers?? Well, I have a little 'thing' for lockers, I admit. There were such a cute petite size, perfect for a kids room!
I heard from so many of you after yesterday's post. You either live near Nashville or are planning a trip there, soon. You really MUST take a day to visit Franklin! I will do a longer post tomorrow about their Main Street area where all the boutiques and restaurants are.
But one of the best things was seeing City Farmhouse, so be sure to stop in...and give Kim a big hug from me!
