In this issue, we look at what makes your home uniquely you. From paint colors to clean closets, we explore the concept of home. We share tips on hosting a housewarming party and take a tour of a beautiful new home by Gregg Homebuilding. We even give you some sound advice if you're considering your first investment property.

This month we also celebrate Mr. Rogers' birthday. He would have been 92 years young. His legacy and kindness live on in people like Dennis Scott who just knew a tribute album had to be made. "Thank You, Mister Rogers, Music & Memories" is a testament to Fred Rogers' enduring humanity.

As always, we can only hope you find inspiration in the pages of this magazine that we

TENNESSEE STATE MUSEUM OPENS NEW WOMEN'S EXHIBIT "RATIFIED: TENNESSEE WOMEN AND THE RIGHT TO VOTE," a once in a lifetime exhibit opens this month at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville. This very special exhibit celebrates the 100th anniversary of our state becoming the "Perfect 36th State" when a 24-year-old representative, Harry Burn, at his mama's urging cast the deciding vote to give women the right to vote in the 19th amendment. Phoebe Ensminger Burn known as "Miss Febb" implored her son with a spirited note, "Hurrah and vote for suffrage!" The extensive exhibit will run from March 27, 2020 through March 28, 2021.

Franklin Lifestyle | March 2020

With Tom Bergeron

AS A NEW GENERATION IS DISCOVERING MISTER ROGERS AND HIS FAMED NEIGHBORHOOD, THANKS LARGELY IN PART TO TOM HANKS’ LATEST MOVIE, A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THERE’S A WHOLE OTHER GENERATION CELEBRATING HIS TREMENDOUS TALENT, CAREER, AND HUMANITY IN A NEW ALBUM, ‘THANK YOU, MISTER ROGERS: MUSIC & MEMORIES.’ And producer, composer and lyricist Dennis Scott is the man behind it all.

Dennis won a Grammy Award for his 2005 album, ‘Songs from the Neighborhood: Music of Mister Rogers.’ He says of making the album at the time, “I was in my kitchen watching TV and Mr. Rogers came on and he was singing “It’s You I Like.” It immediately charmed me. As a composer, I wanted to know who wrote it. I did not know at the time that Fred Rogers was also a musician and composer and came to find out he wrote over 200 songs for his series.”

He was as compelled to take on that project then as he was to take on this latest one that was a year and a half in the making.

“Crystal Gayle was the first artist to participate and one by one, each artist came on board. We recorded some songs here {in his Franklin studio}, some in Los Angeles, one in Oklahoma City, New York and Miami Beach.”

It’s not only the true heart of the home where our clients cook and gather with family and friends, but it is also where a large part of the overall budget is used on materials and appliances in the building phase,” says Alex Gregg.

TIP #1 Edit, edit, edit! Taking the time to make decisions about what you really love and wear in your closet is critical to an organized space. We only wear about 20% of what we own - why spend time shuffling through the other 80%?

TIP #2 Matching hangers make a world of difference in how your closet feels! They create a clean consistent look with everything hanging at the same level.

TIP #3 File folding in a drawer means you can see everything you have and easily take out and replace. Plus it looks so much tidier than typical piles in a drawer!

The city’s historic rebuild that broke ground back in October 2017 took almost a full two years to complete. There are 119 thoughtfully designed guest rooms, off a grand 6-foot wide hallway, with ample space and lush amenities (including floating headboards and in-room Keurigs) but it’s the public areas that will keep the locals coming back. Justin says, “It’s a different style hotel than Franklin and Cool Springs has seen in the past. And we wanted to create something

WALK TO KINDRED SPIRIT. Nicholas Sparks is a beloved romantic author and screenwriter who chooses North Carolina as a backdrop for much of his writing. His 2018 New York Times bestseller “Every Breath” is no different, being set in Sunset Beach. The area and the Kindred Spirit mailbox figure prominently in the novel. So what is it? On a secluded stretch of beach about 30 minutes from the nearest public access point, nestled between sand dunes is an unlikely sight – a mailbox…with a bench next to it. The bench is where you sit to pen your innermost thoughts; the mailbox is where you place the journal when you are done. The Kindred Spirit Mailbox holds the wishes, thoughts, prayers and dreams of those who share and bare their soul and draw comfort from the act of doing

FATE HAS A FUNNY WAY OF BRINGING PEOPLE WHERE THEY NEED TO BE - JUST ASK KEVIN MILLS. Three years ago he was teaching a class at the convention center in downtown Nashville when he was approached by a local company to relocate from Powhatan, VA. Kevin will whole-heartedly tell you, “It’s the best thing we’ve ever done.” He and his family moved to Franklin and have happily called it home ever since. But after eventually getting laid off by the company that brought him here, Kevin found not only other work but a place to grow and begin the life he was striving for.

While honing his fine craftmanship skills working on projects placing shiplap, custom hardwoods and wood ceiling accents, Kevin also found his place as a dedicated family man.

He and his family joined Hope Church, an organization that spends more time in the community than in the church. Kevin is quick to tell you Franklin is the town it is because the residents put back into the community. And he is one of those people. He and his crew will set aside time to assist ladies or the elderly in small odd jobs, at no charge, and spend time with them once competed.

After being laid off, Kevin began working small jobs on his own. Once word of mouth began to spread on his skills, he had enough work to begin his own business, Mills Can Do It, with his brother

value of any property.

Of course, it’s important to prepare your garden for planting. To give us some tips on how to do that is Aaron Gunter, general manager of Willow Branch Landscapes. Primarily a landscape construction company, it handles commercial and residential projects such as irrigation, lighting, retaining walls, patios, and outdoor kitchens.

Before putting your preferred plants in the ground, he advises taking some time to get your garden ready so your flowers and plants will flourish. For gardens, Aaron likes azaleas, astilbe, tulips, candytuft, and hostas, which are always popular. However, it depends on personal preference and location when choosing what to grow.

01.

Clean up any debris that has fallen over the fall and winter months.

Rid the garden of leaves and sticks, and pull out any weeds or dead plants left over from last season. You want to start with a clean bed.

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL GROWING SEASON

READY FOR SPRING

GETTING YOUR GARDEN

02.

Apply a pre-emergence, such as Preen, in your soil beds. When it rains, these granules create a film to stop weeds from coming through. These can be found in almost any garden center, and applying every 90 days will help prevent a lot of back breaking weeding later on.

03.

Correct any drainage issues since heavy downpours

often

occur

in

Tennessee

in February and March. Poor drainage can kill plants and lead to soil erosion and flooding.

04.

Do hard pruning on any shrubs or trees that are overgrown so they don’t overtake the area. Periodically trim to keep them in shape. This will also allow more sunlight to filter through.

THE MUDROOM IS LIKE THE WORKHORSE OF YOUR HOME - IT KEEPS SHOES, JACKETS, BACKPACKS, ETC. ALL IN ONE PLACE AND THAT’S NO EASY TASK. But this catchall transition space between the outdoor and indoor doesn’t have to be chaotic. It should be functional, efficient, practical and offer lots of storage. It doesn’t matter if the room or area is small and simple or large and custom built, a mudroom can actually be glamorous!

ON SAINT PATRICK’S DAY!

LOCAL’S CHOICE

THERE REALLY IS NO EXPLAINING IT.

E V E RYO N E ' S I R I S H

On March 17th every year, much of North

70

America adopts the green and becomes Irish. It’s a reason for a party! And American’s serve green beer and corned beef and cabbage on their menus, but that food and drink was not and is not a common Irish tradition.

Originally, most people in Ireland could not afford or did not have access to beef. Their food was most often boiled cabbage and potatoes. Green beer was unheard of then and you’d be thought a fool in Ireland if you went into a pub and asked for one today. So exactly how and when Americans adopted the tradition of corned beef and cabbage and green beer as part of the celebration is somewhat unclear, but here is what we do know.

The St. Patrick’s Day celebration began in the U.S. in 1737 when the city of Boston decided to celebrate the day of Saint Patrick’s death as the Irish had been doing for many years. The Boston celebration spread to other cities in America every year until the entire country, it seems, was celebrating the day.

It was in the late 19th century that corned beef and cabbage began to become more popular with the Irish emigrants in America and Canada, where both salt and meat were cheaper than in their native country.

So pretend you’re Irish, and if you’re not, you should still get out the green, put on a shamrock, and have a party with friends and family by eating corned beef and cabbage and drinking green beer!

Most food subscription boxes will allow you to choose a delivery day and time frame that works best for you. Your grocery items will be packaged as intuitively as possible, with any freezer items in specially insulated sacks and refrigerator items tucked in with ice packs.

Bonus: You can reuse the insulation and ice packs in kids’ lunch boxes, on road trips or in your own lunches at work.

Depending on what you order, you may need some of your own supplies. When you select your meals, think about what you will need to cook the food in and if any other kitchen utensils would be helpful.

Have them ready to go so you don’t have to make any last-minute trips to the store, defeating the purpose of getting your box delivered!

Look over the prep times and cook times to ensure you won’t be rushed, and have fun! If the meals are foods you would enjoy reheated, you could do all of your cooking the day you get the box to meal prep for your week, or you can just store the ingredients to the other meals in your fridge and cook them throughout the week.

let’s eat!

This is the really fun part! It’s time to start taste-testing. Make a note tab in your phone for tracking what you love and what isn’t your favorite. That way, when it’s time to select more meals, you know what you have tried and what you absolutely have to try again. Don’t forget to ask your family what was a hit and a miss.

Who knows—maybe the kids love some of the Purple Carrot recipes and don’t even notice how many veggies they are eating!

ST. PATRICK’S DAY CELEBRATIONS ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH A TEPID LAGER DYED A SHOCKINGLY BRIGHT COLOR GREEN THAT TAKES FOREVER TO GET AT AN OVERCROWDED BAR. If you pass on the beer, your options are most likely wickedly sweet mixed drinks or an overly minted cocktail option with liquor probably left over from Christmas. If you are throwing your own soiree or simply staying in, why not try some more appealing cocktail choices?

Since designated drivers are important and parties often include underage individuals and a pregnant woman or two who want to participate in festivities, having a nonalcoholic base punch is a must-have as well. Besides, you always can allow those who want— and are allowed—to spike the punch.
