Since August Carrie and I have been busy planning, building, opening our vintage painted furniture shop. Our dream is growing so fast we don't have enough time to keep up. Carrie started a few months before me so I had some learning to do. Just this summer I learned what chalk paint was. I had never even heard of it.
We started our business with the main focus to build our brand name first. To do that we had all of our marketing pieces printed up. We coordinated to have 5 local retailers to sell our furniture (we are always looking for new retailers to add to our Rolodex). Then we started finding unique solid wood furniture that needed a second chance at life. And then we began painting...
Doing all that hard work is helping us grow quickly. Two months in and we have doubled maybe tripled the amount of furniture we have at our retailers.
The best part about this is how much fun we are having. We get together paint, gossip, laugh and be creative. How cool is that for a job. Since we have just begun a few months ago I can't wait to look back a year from now and see how much we have grown. I hope to use this blog to share our Journey and help you start yours.

Happy Painting....
