Sometimes you don’t realize how far you’ve come until you find yourself right back where it all began. 🤍
I picked up this piece at Goodwill back in February, got the creative itch, and decided to give refinishing another go after a LONG hiatus. Took a break for the day… and apparently that break turned into EIGHT MONTHS. 😂🙈
Finally finished it, and the nostalgia hit hard. It was like riding a bike. The second I opened those products and smelled those familiar smells, I was instantly transported back to a time that feels like a lifetime ago.
In November 2019, I refinished a piece of furniture in my living room just for fun. Never in a million years did I imagine that one little project would lead to six years of flipping hundreds of pieces, blood, sweat, tears, and the business I have today. 🥹
I still LOVE creating, but after turning a hobby into a livelihood, I can honestly say I don’t miss the furniture-flipping days like I thought I might.
Sometimes you can love something, appreciate everything it gave you, and still be okay with that chapter looking different now.
I’m so grateful for the girl who started it all, the life that little project helped build, and the reminder that I can still create simply because it brings me joy. No pressure. No business plan. Just for fun. 🤍✨
