My guess. . . . not many.
For years I have been one of those people who separated my dreams from my goals, which looking back now, really seems silly. So about 2 weeks ago, after I had a slight meltdown over my life, my fiance and I took one of our dreams and began making it into a goal.
Two weeks later here I am taking another step from taking my dream to a goal and then hopefully my goal to reality. My fiance and I have started a remodeling and interior decorating business. And after learning many difficult lessons in the past year, I was more than ready for a change, and for the first time in my life I was open to doing something that I did not plan out.
HGTV is one of our favorite past times, and both of us have loved those TV shows even before we met 3 years ago. And suddenly, it just made sense to me. I was happiest when we had just moved and I was able to take our blank apartment and turn it into something that was ours. I had the same feeling when I decorated our first apartment which was a 500 sq. foot studio. (Talk about challenging!) And I had the same feeling when we talked about the possibilities of our future home that we hopefully will own one day. And that's when it hit me, despite my degrees, what truly made me happy was interior decorating. It was so mindless for me, I would sit on Pinterest for hours perusing the home decor and remodeling pins. And I would help my friends decorate their apartments. Stores like HomeGoods are my favorite to shop in.
My fiance realized his love for remodeling and building houses a bit earlier than I. He spent months helping a family friend build an energy efficient home. (See photos of the house on our website.) He has been hooked ever since.
We like to say that my fiance is the muscles, I've got the eye, and together we have the passion and knowledge to help people achieve their dream homes. This blog will travel with us as we continue turning our dream into goal and then into solidified reality. We both still work our day jobs, which certainly makes starting a brand new business tricky, but we know in the end, it will be totally worth it. One day we will be able to do this full time and when we do, we will get to do what we love while spending more time together and helping more people love their homes. What could be better than that?!
And guess what?! We already have our first clients! I cannot describe the utter shock and amazement I felt over having clients after just launching our website and business. It was one of the best feelings!
But now back to this blog.
I will be sharing all that we learn along the way, from the ups and downs to the tricks of the trade that we learn throughout our projects. I will also be sharing home decorating trends and tips, as well as homes, styles, and decor that I love.
I hope that you will follow us on this journey. If you have any advice for us please feel free to write us a comment. Or if you think you just might want to hire two budding home remodelers then please go visit our website and send us an email. We'd love to hear from you all!
Remember a dream becomes a goal when YOU decide to achieve it.
