Funky Furniture

If you read my blog regularly,

you know I'm in kind of a transition stage in my life right now.

For the last 4 1/2 years , I owned a Curves franchise.

Last year , I started a second hand home decor store in the same building to try to supplement my income.

But....

It wasn't really going the direction I wanted it to anymore.

I put my building up for sale this spring and I feel very fortunate that I was able to sell it.

Friday, the deal was complete.

No more Curves .

No more store.

It was a bittersweet day.

But I feel good about it .

My best sellers at my store were my repurposed furniture peices.

I don't use chalk paint like a lot of people,

( although I really want to try it soon )

and don't often distess my peices.

( I do sometimes )

I find my furniture at sales and thrift stores.

This is going to sound weird,

( if you've been here long , you know I'm kinda weird )

I let the piece speak to me ,

( told you .... weird )

Sometimes they say "make me berry pink ".

How cute is that owl fabric ?

ADORABLE !

Or ...

"put sripes on me ".

Or....

" I should be moss green and have a matching side table."

" I'm feeling a little aqua today" ...

I love color !

And apparently so do other people!

I found a store that wanted to sell my funky furniture for me.

I've taken two truck loads and sold several peices already.

My transition seems to be off to a good start!
