The flip of the calendar page brings new hopes, dreams and a renewed vision for the new year. And for many of our Village Antiques customers, that vision includes a refreshed home. A home that tells your unique story and is a true reflection of your style.

But like every resolution, life and work can quickly get in the way of fulfilling your goals. Trust me, I know how hard it is to juggle it all. Between running two companies, building kickass teams, developing new products, and enjoying the holidays with my babies – all I wanted to do was let go and wait to come back to my home updates “later”.

But as we all know, “later” never comes…

So behind the scenes, I’ve been busy working on some major home updates, re-organization and planning.

Now you might be thinking… “but Amitha, it’s so much easier for you!”

Ha! Not true. And to prove it, I’m going to share a collection of horrible “before pics” so you see how a transformation is possible from any starting point!

I’m also going to share an under-the-radar goal strategy I’ve been using since 2016 and how it’s helped me reach my goals faster, smarter and better.

But in the meantime, I want to help you reach your home goals this year by sharing something you can do right away.

That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that our January dates for our popular paint workshops have finally been set! All you have to do is choose the workshop that is right for you and secure your spot right now.

Reserving your seat to one of these workshops is a powerful step forward in making your home vision for 2017 a reality.

Now the only question is…which workshop will we see you at?
