Hi Friends!
How’s your week going? I hope all is well there! I hit a wall of complete exhaustion this weekend. It’s been too many long days, endless projects, and financial stress. We chose to buy the new building on Congress Street, but we had no idea when we signed a contract for it in November 2019 that we would be in the middle of a pandemic and economic crisis in the middle of 2020. We still believe it was the right choice for us, but it’s also been a trying time for us. We just took out our first business loan and have been doing the work almost completely alone. That definitely weighs on me. I’m trying not to compare my life today to my life a year ago. It’s stealing my joy. It’s hard not to… some days I have victory in that and this weekend I didn’t. I cried a lot, made myself get up, and reached out to a few friends to ask for prayer, a listening ear, and better perspective. What a blessing those people were to my heart. We will make it through and be stronger on the other side; like every other business hurtle in the past. Please know your prayers and words of encouragement mean so much right now.
Here’s one sneak peak picture of the back game room at the #funcycledstays airbnb that also has a pull out bed for more of your friends to stay with you. We used a vintage dusty rose couch (thank Monica), a coffee table made from old repurposed wood, and modern pops of design with the funky rug and aztec pillow. :)
For this week’s makeover, I wanted to share a buffet that we recently redid for our store. Here’s the buffet before:
We painted with Benjamin Moore’s Kendall Charcoal, sanded the top and left it original, then we sprayed it with a protective clear coat. We also installed all new hardware. If you want to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post.
Here are the after pictures:
