Hey Jealousy

So I think I've decided that I am a jealous person.  This is not a confession of what I want to be, or that I am proud of it, but just an observation that I am finally coming to terms with.  If I see other girls that are beautiful, or if I envy the way they dress, etc... I start acting all funny, and feel like I have to compete with them.  Automatically in my head I decide that I do not like this person, just because they have a better sense of style or have better looks, etc.  I don't like that I do that, because the girls always turn out to be nice and fabulous girls.  This is actually how I have made some of my best friends. 

Well I have recently decided to venture out a little and see if I can't make a few extra $$$ doing something I love.  I have refinished quite a few pieces of furniture for myself and my hubby.  (The first of which was horrible- looking back on it).  I just couldn't stop thinking about this, and I just love older furniture.  It's got so much character, and it was all made so sturdy.  It's a shame to see these great pieces being taken over by cheap "mdf and/or particleboard with staples" counterparts. 

I had seen a few blogs where women had refinished furniture and sold it.  So I guess I got to thinking that that was something maybe I could do too.  But as you know by now, what with my honed procrastination skills, and lack of desire to actually finish projects that I start, I just now got around to making a blog, and actually will be finishing up my first piece this next week to put up for sale.

Anyway, there are like 22 blogs now that I have counted (and keep tabs on) that do the same thing just in northern Utah alone. This is where the jealousy comes in.  Gggrrrrrr.  They are all pretty amazing and awesome looking though! So anyway, I hope the market is not saturated yet, because I'm jumping on the bandwagon.  Here is the site. My new site. 
www.Refurbia.blogspot.com

Put it on the side of your blog, mark it, favorite it and frequent it often so that I might be a successfull business owner (and hopefully fulfill a goal to pay off our house in less than 10 years).  I will definitely need the help of everyone I know to help spread the word.  And even though I am insanely jealous of these other peoples wicked refinishing skills, I will still post them on the sidebar. We all need to stick together and help each other out. I'm hoping some good Karma may flow my way! But serously check some of them out. They are awesome. Thanks in advanced- and let me know if you want anything.  Peace and Love!
