Historic Edgefield is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Nashville. With homes built in the 1800s, the architecture and character of the area are unmatched. Over the years, preservationists have restored some of the traditional and Victorian houses, creating a beautiful sense of renewal, but retaining a reverence for the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan and Brittney Bremnes purchased their Edgefield house in February of 2020. \u201cIt was falling apart,\u201d Dan shares. But the family endeavored to meld the modern and the historic worlds in their home, so they embarked on an extensive renovation journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a 9-month process, a labor of love,\u201d says Dan. They kept the original arched windows, exposed brick fireplaces, and 12-foot ceilings, all of which are striking features of the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan and Brittney are both artists and entrepreneurs, so neither is a stranger to creating and fulfilling an artistic vision. Dan is a Covenant award-winning singer\/songwriter and Brittney is a talented photographer. \u201cWe believe environment is the most important ingredient when it comes to setting the tone for any workspace,\u201d Dan says. And they have created an environment that evokes calmness, removing distraction and allowing the artistic mind to flourish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were able to preserve a lot of the original structure, charm, and character. It was painful but beautiful.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
