My Story
How all this began...
... to think it started with a thought about glitter paint.
I was sitting in my room, thinking how to design the space. I thought of adding glitter paint to the wall around the attic access. Which brought my attention to the knobs. That made me remember that I want all of the hardware in my bedroom to match. This meant that I would likely need to change my furniture, all because the hardware was different.
I needed a Carpenter. My thoughts went to what I would write as a want ad: Wanted - Carpenter, work to spec within a deadline, part-time with full-time possibility. Will provide materials, hourly rate, and a completion bonus.
I also provided this person space... and my ideas, designs for my own furniture... with the matching hardware. This became the first line for my company. We advertised on social media and sold projects in the line based on my furniture, different woods and finishes. We grew, adding more carpenters to the space with their own ideas on lines to make, as well as a new line for my first carpenter... who became my partner.
Suddenly we had a large company, with its own factory, warehouse, and showroom... a wide range of advertising, very specific contracts and completion rates, even project difficulty settings. We were dealing with pay and compensation, benefits, pension... longevity.
I saw a need... to employ these newly minted carpenters, being very important for civilization and society, who came together, honed their skills, and sold their wares. I still laugh when I remember this all started with a thought about glitter paint.
