Part of the work I’ve been doing to become a better version of myself has shown up in an unexpected way: restoring furniture. There’s something a little ironic about bringing old pieces back to life while, at the same time, restoring myself.
I had dabbled in it years ago, before the food truck, and I’ve always loved woodworking but I never had the time or patience to give each piece the care it deserved. That’s been true for me, too. I’ve spent most of my life in motion, always chasing what’s next.
Recently, my body hit the emergency brake and forced me to slow down. In that pause, I found this work again and it’s been teaching me how to be more present, more patient, and more intentional.
You can scroll through to see some of the pieces I’ve restored and sent back out into the world.
