The process of remodeling a home or a specific space in your house can be daunting, unless you’re similar to me and love a good home renovation project. For me, there is nothing more satisfying than the progress of building something new — no matter how long it may take. Watching a room come to life is magical, and the best mess is construction dust!

Life is unpredictable. If I told my 22-year-old self that by my mid-thirties I’d be a female business owner, I would be cracking up. It’s cliche, but how I’ve built a new career and redefined “dream job” is proof that when one door closes, another one opens.
