You are doing such a great job. Very thoughtful and organized. You should definitely sell some of your floral photography as well. So glad you got a grant. It's very heartening when government invests in small business. It's a win win for everyone. You could invite a local artisan to sell in your shop as well to help fill any gaps. Looking forward to your grande opening. Wishing you continued success. 🌱
It's going to be so lovely! How awesome that you received a grant and are able to preserve some of the original features of the space like the wood floors. I can't wait to see all the product displayed. And your floral work room is going to be amazing!
Thank you so much for sharing this process! It is amazing to see all you have accomplished and it is so encouraging for those of us who may visualize a similar future for ourselves. Keep up the beautiful work!
A mural of flowers or your business name on the side of the building would be beautiful! Maybe even an instagramable photo space for more social media engagement. So glad you got a grant. I hope you are talking with your local ag extension agent for all available grants and cost share programs, it’s not uncommon for funding to go unused when people don’t know to apply. So excited to see the space progress !!!
Looks great Christina! Wishing you all the best in your new storefront and I look forward to following your journey! 💐It reminds me of when I opened an art gallery in a historic town back in Ontario, Canada. It was a special time in my life many years ago. Now I just grow cut flowers in my home garden in Northern Illinois and have a TH-cam channel to document all our projects. I hope to come visit your new store when it opens!💐👏😍
Oh my goodness congratulations!! It’s looking beautiful and it’s going to be absolutely incredible!! You are so creative, and with being a photographer you already know so much about staging and lighting, and you know what you love! Your floral arrangements are fantastic! And you have such a wealth of information to share, it’s just going to be such a fun place to be in! For you and the customers! I am really excited for you and for your town 😊💕
I have watched your videos from the start of your channel. I've learned so much from (and with!) you and enjoyed every minute. Its been a delight to watch you grow and expand your floral journey. I love seeing young entrepreneurs making their mark and re-purposing older forgotten buildings. Wishing you and your family the greatest of success with your business!! ❤😊
Hi -- I can't wait to see how you design, decorate, and stock your new store. Everything you do is done so well, with an eye for detail. When shoppers walk into your store, they will be able to see and feel just how much care and love you have put into creating a wonderful shopping experience which includes selling your beautiful flowers. How exciting that you are close to being finished. You must feel pretty good about that, and the fact that you restored a historic building is amazing!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Christina - this is soooooooooooo exciting!!!! Well well done dear friend. Thank you so much for this update and soooo look forward to allllll the developments!!!
Wow! I remember the “before “ from the video you did when you first bought it and it was pretty scary. Now it looks beautiful! Wonderful transformation!
You are doing an amazing job Christina! Love your channel and your business , it’s very neat and organized. You also presenting your information in a very interesting, pleasant way. Keep growing!
This is so exciting! Your space is going to be beautiful. Just a suggestion: maybe you can carry some flower arranging supplies. Compotes, chicken wire, snips, that kind of thing. I need zero vessels yet I ALWAYS buy one when I go to visit my local flower farm. Best of luck as you wrap up the space!
Instead of putting a sink in the center of the windows you should consider maybe putting it centered under one of the windows that way when you lay out your flowers you have a longer stretch of countertop to use as you build your market bouquet recipes. Unless you’re adding an island of counter space. I can’t remember if you said you were or not. Looking really good!
I’m such a stickler for symmetrical things that it will bother me if it isn’t centered. Haha. Plus I wouldn’t want a faucet in front of the windowsill. But great thought on laying the flowers out! I may have a workbench in the center at some point
This is sooo beautiful! I’m sure you all had days you were just exhausted from the remodel but it will all be worth it! Can’t wait to see it when it’s all decorated and full of flowers! I’m curious as to what grant you got to help you out with the remodel. I’m in Missouri and wonder if there’s something like that available here.
The red brick on the front with the black window panes and lanterns is so charming. I hate to see you paint it charcoal like the side. I know it’s the current style to call it modern but it just doesn’t do it for me. Especially for a floral shop.

It looks beautiful! Congratulations!! Wish I lived closer so I could shop when it’s all done!!

Really nice to see! Maybe you could sell your own photo's of flowers on canvas, just an idea.... oh, all the ideas... have fun!
Great idea!!
Looking forward to visiting you and your new space next year.

I’m curious as to what grant you got to help you out with the remodel. I’m in Missouri and wonder if there’s something like that available here.
It is through our state economic development group.
@@SunshineFlorathank you!
where did u find the repo ceiling tiles?
Pro ceiling tiles website
Great Job! Really like the charcoal color on outside. May I ask.what is the name of the color?
It’s Iron Ore from Sherwin Williams!
@@SunshineFlora thank you!
The red brick on the front with the black window panes and lanterns is so charming. I hate to see you paint it charcoal like the side.
I know it’s the current style to call it modern but it just doesn’t do it for me. Especially for a floral shop.
I’m painting it a deep olive green.
