The Rose Manor B&B (a) ACTS: the video documents the purchase, renovation, and business operations (hosting events, photographers, elopements) of this specific property. Removing it would change the entire subject of the video. Golfi (a) ACTS: identified as the listing agent for the property. Removing it would remove the context of how they acquired the property.

My sister and I decided we wanted to live a hallmark movie plot line so we bought this bed and breakfast in May of 2022! This is our story! Toured the house after a giant snow storm so didn't know too much of what we were working with Golfi was the listing agent of the bnb property (iykyk) But we decided to take the risk and live that Gilmore Girls life Sold our past home together and moved in immediately! We used the 80/20 rule, 80 percent vintage, 20 percent new! Started thrifting asap... we had 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms to fill Got to work on some diy projects! Slide to paint You can whine about this but it was $10 and damaged! It's a 90s reproduction, not a true antique! Ta da!! We still have it today so we promise it didn't go to waste! More thrifting Found all the best antique places Started filling our garage with furniture Love the copper Thankfully our mover was okay with adding extra furniture Started to find more permanent fixtures too This light fixture is still our favourite and in the front entry of our home! This was a car ride and a half Pro tip, bring packing supplies and boxes even if you don't think you are buying anything! This was move in day, with some extra help Floors were redone, drapes were replaced and rug is gone Sanded and restained to match, not replaced! Made a mini elopement building that also doubles as a photo studio! Photographers host holiday minis in it now! It also doubles as a bar, photobooth spot or food station for our larger events! Kept adding to all of the rooms Curating a space takes time and we still add to the home daily! Decorating is one of my favourite parts of the job! Had our tourism merch designed Had our kitchen backsplash and fireplace tiled
