Hello everyone in the KC Custom Decor world,
This may be long, but a very overdue post.
I know I’ve been really quiet since right before the holidays and there has been an unfortunate reason for that which I’ve dreaded speaking out about, but I feel it’s time to fill you all in.
Right before Christmas, we unfortunately lost my dad suddenly and unexpectedly and it tore my world apart.
As some of you know, and if you didn’t know, now you will- my dad taught me everything I needed to know about the behind the scenes of this business. All my items are made from scratch- my dad taught me about what wood to buy, what tools to use and teaching me to cut different ways with different power tools, how to sand down and what grit to use, he was always there to listen to my crazy new ideas and helped be the brain and hands behind executing all those ideas. He has passed down a lot of his power tools and other things that have helped me be successful along the way.
So to say it’s been tough getting back into the swing of things is a major understatement. Every piece of wood, every tool, every past idea reminds me of him and it just hurts right now.
I’m not throwing in the towel, I will keep on with this business I created because I am so proud of myself for bringing this business up from the ground and know he will continue to be proud of me from above, but I just need some time right now- some time to continue processing and figuring out what to do that first time I need his help, ideas, or advice when it comes to KC Custom Decor.
I just want to extended my appreciation for everyone understanding this setback and giving me grace as I navigate what the future of KC Custom Decor brings- I’m not going anywhere, I just need some time, that’s all! ❤️
With Love,
Kara
