How being a “Hot Mess” has made me a successful business owner (and can make you one too!)

Cabinet painting is the new black!

Back when I started faux finishing thirteen or fourteen years ago, very rarely did people ask us to paint their kitchen cabinets. The majority of our jobs were always wall finishes and, on occasion, we would faux a bit of wall trim or an island... but very rarely an entire kitchen.…
