Today marks 15 years of starting my own business. It started as Crafty Belle Boutique making these wreaths and custom artwork and grew into furniture refinishing and cabinet refinishing, and ultimately grew into A. Newman Interiors and what it is today. I feel so incredibly blessed to have been able to work for myself, help provide for my family, all while being able to be a present and involved mother, and getting to do what I absolutely love most, which is to create beauty. I’ve met the most amazing folks, I’ve gotten opportunities I never even dreamed possible, and probably my favorite part has been showing my kids what is possible when you work hard, dream big, and take every opportunity you encounter and make the most of it. God has 💯 had his hand on me and this business over the last 15 years. But you don’t get from these wreaths, to whole home renovation (not to mention all the steps in between) without hustling your behind off. I feel so blessed and grateful, I am so incredibly appreciative of the people who supported me from the start and continued to do so for years and years. For those who’ve trusted me with probably their biggest asset and most sacred space, their home, I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Cheers to 15 more (at least) and having the opportunity to create more beauty ❤️ I can’t wait to see what’s in store!
