My whole team and family pitched in to help pack our first round of subscription boxes… is it wrong to love hard work? It keeps me happy. It keeps me from spiraling and it’s such a blessing to be surrounded with people that I love. Thank you to everyone who ordered a box last month, box No. 2 is on the way soon. If you haven’t already signed up and you’re curious. Look 👀in the conversation area below Also please pray for Elle, she got hit with the flu, and it was pretty harsh! Our video might be last this week while she gets better.

This post is for all you amazing painters who have been told, "you ruined it" or, " you Totally destroyed it! or ...Why do people think they need to paint antiques?." or... Sorry but No No No !!! or how about... , "Horrifying ... dreadful"
these are just a few of the comments I have seen in my years on social media. I'm sharing this with you NOT to shame those who make rude comments. If we shame them for shaming us, we are also guilty of shaming. THIS is to encourage you to be UNASHAMED! This is to let you know that we all get critical feedback and it comes with being brave, and putting yourself out there. There is nothing more rewarding than sharing your talents and gifts. IIT IS WORTH IT but the process is hard work. Creativity is a muscle you exercise. Next time you see a beautiful piece of art and say "I wish I had that kind of talent" KNOW THIS, you can't go to the gym and lift super heavy weights without building up to it. Art is the same, you have to keep going. Keep sharing and above all else don't let anyone tell you what kind of medium you are worthy of using. Are you only allowed to paint on old used cardboard until you are "good enough to paint on a real canvas? Why then should a furniture artist only be allowed to paint pieces that are, not antique... ? Paint on my friend, I'm over here waving pom poms for you!

Lesson learned, when there’s paint on your phone most of the time, you may want to clean your lens before recording a video.🤷🏻‍♀️👀 seriously, this would never have occurred to me! I couldn’t figure out why everything looked so foggy…it took my 20-year-old Niece Elle, to help me solve the problem. After this, I felt the need to create some fun items for messy painters. They come in all different sizes and lots of colors too! Treat yourself , give yourself permission to make a mess ,let your style reflect your artistic aesthetic💜 Stay tuned for a fun video coming tonight.! diyagogo.com/collections/original-merch-designed-b…

Our white is famous for its crazy good coverage! White Swan and Apothecary are our top two! This fun size pack is perfect but only for a short time because we are hand pouring them 🙂 diyagogo.com/collections/diy-paint just 39.95

Do you remember to give yourself a gift this time of year? I can't think of a better fashion statement! Choose from so many colors and sizes beyond XL ! Then #grandpa's fangirl with a photo of you in the shirt so we can share with Grandpa and get his reaction on camera :) diyagogo.com/collections/clothing check out the detail on the sleeve!

You have been asking us for smaller sizes. For a very short time, we are hand pouring 4 ounce jars. Our warehouse does not stock these… get your sampler pack of the new colors before we get really tired of doing this by hand. 💜 just in time for holiday crafting or for that special creative person in your life..

I have so many things to be thankful for, it would be hard to count them all. This man is at the top of my list. He chose to be my Dad, when he didn't have to. He is the head of our family, the most giving and hard working example of what family is. He's a fixer of all things and a master carpenter. He also does a pretty amazing Elvis impression. May God bless you this Holiday season, we love you. Happy Thanksgiving from the Beards!
