Rising Stars: Meet Adriana White of Lebanon & Franklin TN

Today we’d like to introduce you to Adriana White

Hi Adriana, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Our journey into creating Renewed & Restored Home (RRHOME) really began as a family passion. My mom and I always had an eye for design, and thankfully, my dad has always been incredibly handy. Together, we would transform items in our family home—whether it was building things from scratch or giving new life to old pieces. We loved the process, and whenever we had guests over, they would often ask, ‘Where did you get that?’ and the answer was always, ‘Oh, we made it!’ It never crossed our minds that this hobby, something that came so naturally to us, could grow into a business we’d one day share with others.
It wasn’t until 2020 that the idea of turning our passion into a business really took shape. Like many people, we found ourselves slowing down and reevaluating our priorities when the world changed. That pause allowed us to focus on what God was calling us to do. It was then that we knew it was time to start RRHOME.
Our business is truly a reflection of how we feel—renewed and restored in Christ. It’s also a way for us to showcase the talents God has blessed us with, from our creative vision to our ability to transform and restore. We are incredibly passionate about home decor, especially the process of taking something ‘old’ and making it ‘new’ again, or creating custom pieces that people will treasure for a lifetime.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but we’ve always leaned on our faith, knowing that God planted these talents and vision in our hearts for a reason. One of the biggest challenges we faced was moving from California to Tennessee. My parents moved first, and I followed a year later. Uprooting our business and starting fresh in a new demographic came with its own set of challenges.
We had to learn how to navigate and immerse ourselves in a completely new area while building a new clientele from the ground up. It gave us a lot of perspective on adaptability and the importance of patience. But throughout it all, we embraced the journey, trusting that each challenge was an opportunity for growth and that God was guiding us every step of the way.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We started off renewing and restoring furniture and home goods, and that’s really what we’re known for—bringing new life into pieces like dressers, kitchen tables, coffee tables, you name it. Over time, we wanted to expand and curate smaller home goods and vintage finds that reflect our love for design and history. We take great pride in being a sustainable business. Most of the items we source are local, which allows us to support our community while creating fresh, new visions at an affordable price. I believe vintage and antiques should be accessible, and that’s something we’re committed to offering.

What sets us apart is our holistic approach. Since starting, we’ve been able to branch Renewed & Restored into additional services, including interior decorating and staging. As a realtor, I wanted to create a way to serve my clients more comprehensively by providing both real estate services and home styling expertise. This allows our clients to maximize their home’s value while staying true to their personal style.

What makes me most proud is that we’ve created a business that reflects our family’s values and vision while making a real difference in people’s lives and homes.

What does success mean to you?
To us, success is being in alignment with our assignment. What that means is using the gifts God has given us to bless others, specifically through design and restoring new life into home interiors. It’s not just about creating beautiful spaces, but about bringing meaning and purpose into people’s homes. One of the greatest measures of success for us is seeing the look on a client’s face when we breathe new life into a cherished family heirloom. That moment of connection, when we know we’ve made a lasting impact, is the ultimate success for us.
