On Tuesday, Mike shared more photos on his Instagram profile to give fans insight into his renovation project.

The room was completed with floor-to-ceiling windows, a chandelier, two leather chairs, a couch, a dresser, and a coffee table.
Mike Wolfe's businesses
Mike Wolfe has created a business empire featuring real estate, antique stores, and more.
The second slide of the carousel showed an architectural drawing of the home's outside before renovations.
The last photo provided the modern view of the home, which didn't include the original spire or porch.
"Morning light at the Columbia Tn Italianate project. Working from original photos of the house…The cupola and porch part have begun," Mike captioned the post.
"The gentleman that built this house in 1873 was deeply into astrology. He was said to only fire brick when he felt the moon and stars were aligned for him to begin.
"This house has a beautiful energy maybe for that very reason," he concluded.
MIKE'S EMPIRE
Mike has grown a large real estate profile since being in the public eye.
He purchased his Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee home for $1,050,000 in 2020 after splitting from his ex-wife Jodi Faeth.
The 3,153-square-foot house contains three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
It also has a detached garage for the picker to store his antiques.
In 2004, Mike purchased a 3,168-square-foot house in Le Claire, Iowa, where he stays during hometown visits.
The house is a two-story duplex, featuring an apartment on the second floor and the business The Shameless Chocoholic occupying the first.
The reality star has also created a business empire that includes antique stores and real estate investments.
Mike currently owns two Antique Archeology stores: one in Le Claire, Iowa, and another in Nashville, Tennessee.
He has launched his own renovation and restoration company, MRW Properties, as well as his own production company, Mossy Pointe, INC.
Mike has also been busy helping his girlfriend, Leticia Cline, with the recent opening of her new Kentucky coffee shop.
