So??
Okay, I went to look at the space. It is perfect for Nest. They want $1500/1600. In rent ( I hate that I have good taste). They want a three year lease which is reasonable.
But-
I just don’t trust the economy, especially the Humboldt economy. I think it’s this year that all the sh*t hits the fan with the tariffs. There are several stores that have closed in Old Town.

And, the retirement plan is to travel. I have to keep reminding myself this because I love building businesses. But a storefront is also like a child. It’s not going to be something I can leave for a couple of months at a time.

Not to say that I have given up on the idea. But for now, I’m going to let someone else give it a try. Someone with a rich husband!

See how wishy washy I am?

Tomorrow May or May Not Be A Big Day!

The New Year has Arrived, we have survived another holiday season, and the New Year Spreads out all of its Opportunities Before Us.

I just Love that. Freshness, opportunity, the Newness. It’s like drinking in the Fresh New Air of morning.

After three years of feeling Beaten, bogged down, purpose- less, mixed with a little empty nest, I’m feeling restored. Do you know what happens to a creative gal like me after a rest for three years? An explosion! A creative Big Bang! Better hold on to you hat Folks!

So here it is-
Tomorrow I’m looking at a shop space!
Ya. Let that one smack ya!

Hi my Peeple!
Long time, no post. Had to get away from it all for a spell. Burn out is Real.

But something changed last Spring. I started feeling better, more creative again. The fog lifted, the sun came out (a little bit haha) spring was in the air. I started gardening. I started spring cleaning, and YES! I started feeling like painting furniture again.

Since then, I’ve been looking for inspiration. When you have been painting as long as I have, you’ve dipped your brush into many different styles. I’ve done murals, classical finishes (marbles, frescoes,Venetian plasters, leafing, waxes , you name it), contemporary, country, nautical, and farmhouse.

So the question is where can I settle that still makes me feel challenged? What’s hard to do but really gives me satisfaction when the piece is done?

So, while not everyone will like this style, I’ve found some inspiration and THAT MAKES ME WANT TO PAINT! And I want to share this with you.

It’s not an easy thing to paint a piece of furniture to make it look TRULY aged over the years. I’ve seen lots of bad shabby chic jobs. A truly old piece of furniture is soft. The finish has its own patina where it’s been worn down over the years. It has layers of color, where various paint jobs show through. And it takes time to replicate. See the bottom of this piece? The whites have turned yellow, the wood has turned dark due to the old original shellac. The various greens are worn and crackling. Truly chippy. Truly worn, Truly loved.

So while I always take on custom orders and make pieces like you want them, be prepared to see some worn out, magical looking pieces coming forth soon. Maybe I will call it Faux Ancient. Faux Magical, The Faux Realm. There’s a future topic of conversation.

I’ll start posting more often now that I have a direction.

My neighbor Willa has launched a flower stand to help raise funds for her gardening habit. Please swing by on Sundays to buy a vase of flowers from her for only $10 . Mind you , these are flowers that actually smell, not the florist kind. And wait until you see her garden!
She’s on the corner of Wabash and Union, just past the alley.

Hey Family,
So I’m redoing all my social media because I’m starting my business over. A business opened up in Old Town called The Nest ( having nothing to do with me or home and garden or birds or anything Nest related), so I’ve changed my name a bit and am rethinking my little bubble that my friends call Kimmy World.
As I figure out what platforms to use and create my new retail spot, I hope you all will follow me in my new adventure.
They say you can’t keep a good man down. Well, you can’t keep this girl down either. And when I come back, it’s usually with a roar!
I’m excited!

Rust is an acquired taste. It’s not for everyone. It’s actually really hard to recreate with paint so that it doesn’t look fake. But a truly fine, multi layered, paint chipping off rusty piece brings me so much joy. For it has lived a long purposeful life and there is a certain beauty to that.

I have been in the design industry pretty much my entire life in one aspect or another. I’ve done beachy, country, neoclassical, white on white, minimalism ( for a day, sorry), Farmhouse, shabby chic, mid century modern, urban, vintage industrial and now what I like to call Olde World Garden, or maybe secret gardenism. Either which way, Rust is going to be involved.
