Happy Saturday! Maybe some of you are at home thinking of a cool project, a way to work with your hands. But not me! I am a confident DIYer. Probably too confident. My first job out of college was as a display artist for Anthropologie. There, we learned how to make absolutely everything. I loved it and it was empowering. But just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.
When my husband and I moved in together, DIY was the name of the game. We had the vision and we had the time. But the more I started to seeing the results of these refinishing projects professionally done for my clients, and the more babies we had (there’s honestly just 2 but still…), the less motivated we felt to do the projects ourselves.
This doesn’t mean we will never ever be refinishing something ourselves again, but while these babes are still little, we will happily let the refinishers and workrooms we work with execute our ideas. And I will do the same for you! 😉
Let this post be an homage to our DIY era, and a Saturday without paint on my clothes.
