to PAINT! Yes, paint. Seriously if it can be reached with a roller, paint brush or spray paint, I'm all over it! The walls of my house have been every color from baby poop brown, to yellow stripes, to aqua blue. I decided, on a whim (typical for me) to paint my kitchen cabinets white...why stop there when you can antique them too? I HAD to have antiqued white kitchen cabinets! A couple of quick tutorial reads and I was sanding, painting and staining away!
This, I believe, is what led me to the opening of my Etsy shop.
I had recently decided to stay at home after working 20 years as a physical therapist assistant. And needed a way to earn extra money. I had also recently seen on line how to paint a magnetic chalk board wall in your home....yep, HAD to have one RIGHT THEN! More perusing=discovery of up cycling frames into chalk boards....SWOON! I HAD to make one...then another...and another!
My parents are Etsy shop owners and are successful at it, So I HAD to open one too! I tell ya, if it wasn't for their expertise, I don't know if I would have ever sold my first one. Needless to say I'm not the only one who sells chalk boards on Etsy. But I did sell my first one, and second...I've never looked back! This has been the best way, for me, to do something for "me", have a creative outlet, and to earn a lil money too! Thanks, again, Mom and Dad!!
