Turns out opening a store means becoming a painter.
I painted the entire space myself, learned way more about rollers, finishes + primer than I ever wanted to know, and thought about my dad during every trip to the hardware store. ❤️
This Saturday 6/6 the doors open.
See you at Fulton Center 👋🏾✨⚡️

Gonna tag the artists soon including someone I have the pleasure of collecting 😌 ❤️ (6th image)
