The Making of Mill & Meadow | Storefront TRANSFORMATION! Opening a Brick and Mortar Small Business

We're taking you along the way for the entire transformation of our first Brick and Mortar: Mill & Meadow! M&M is a stationery, decor and gift store boutique, now open for business in the heart of Downtown Durham, NC! We came a long way from the humble concrete floor & blank wall beginnings and we're so excited to show you this behind the scenes content. A big thank you to Big Dog Little Bed productions for this video!

If you're new here- welcome! I started my business on my 18th birthday selling paintings I made in my free time. I continued to run and grow it throughout college and graduate school, and into law school at Duke University. Now I'm running the business full time, law degree in hand, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I sell my art on my website, wholesale on Faire.com and I license my work to be sold in stores including Home Goods, Marshalls, At Home, and World Market.

This is INCREDIBLY ENCOURAGING to see! I'm not sure how I came across your channel, but for the past few days I've been binge watching and love everything I see. It gives me extra hope that one day this could be me too with my art and designs. I have a similar vision and to see someone else doing it also is really inspiring. Congrats and I wish you more and more success!
