Hi Friends!

Have you ever had a week where you felt like everything at work went wrong? That’s the week we had last week. From adhesion issues on a kitchen cabinet (we figured it out), to last minute paint color changes (it’s almost done), to staff quitting (I love our staff so it’s hard to see them go), and so many deadlines being due by the 15th of the month (I didn’t make all the deadlines). Man oh man! Those are the weeks when I’m reminded that owning a small business is not for the faint of heart. I’m thankful for the years that have taught me that it does no good to lose sleep over problems, that if running a small business was easy all the time everyone would do it, and that having faith in a God who knows the struggles ahead and provides joy and peace through it all is absolutely the best thing. So if you’re going through a rough patch at work or at home… keep this verse in mind.

Philippians 4:6 “Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

After we picked this dresser up, we stored it for quite a few months until we started working on it. Guess what we found inside?? A wedding ring! That’s right. Don’t worry, we reached out to the original owner and let them know!

We painted the outside with Benjamin Moore’s Gentlemen’s Gray, glazed it, and sprayed it with a protective clear coat. If you want to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post. 
Ready for the after???

This dress is available to purchase! You can check out even more new pieces on our For Sale page.
