Reupholstery 101!

If someone were to visit my childhood bedroom and slice a little piece of wall away, he/she would be able to see layers of paint that adorned my bedroom walls telling the story of my age or current obsession. I can't remember a time when I wasn't fascinated by decorating, design, or style.

Now, I am finally acting on that passion and have received a letter acknowledging my acceptance into my first interior design class: reupholstery. Since deciding to become a stay-at-home mom I knew I would need to begin planning for what I would do when I went back to work as well as what I would do to keep myself balanced and sane...enter the Fox Valley Tech program book of courses.

After talking with some girlfriends I came up with a plan. First, I would learn the art of reupholsterying. With determination and dedication I WILL perfect this skill and turn it into the start of my new business. The end goal will to become a home stylist or decorating consultant. I know I have a lot to learn and it will most likely take me many years to accomplish my goal, but I don't feel overwhelmed nor do I feel like I need to rush. I am as excited about the process of honing my skills and learning the craft as I am for the end destination. And really, who genuinely knows what one's true destination will end up being.

So, if anyone is brave enough to give me a try, I will be completing my class mid-October and would love the opportunity to practice my newly acquired skills!
