So glad you go into depth about the real life of being a business owner, interior designer, creating a brand and being a true inspiration! You are truly one of a kind 💕

    I am only midway through the video, but I believe it is important to note, when you do what you love, it is much easier to put in the long hours and go the extra mile. Go hard with anything and everything that you do, yes, but when it's your passion, the going hard hits your spirit different. When you are putting in long hours for a business or company, where the work is outside the scope of what you love, the tasks and long hours become tiring and draining. If this is you, have a plan to transition and do not forget your end game, your goal! Although K looks tired (no shade), she is loving every minute of it, good or bad. xoxo

    "it's so ugly that it looks good"! I said that to my work colleague on Tuesday while browsing through our huge collection of second-hand items! Crazy! and after seeing this being said in the video, I was IN! Completely SUBSCRIBED to #KarinBohn videos and design ideas... Pick something "unusual", "old" or "ugly" and turn it into that "aha" or "wow" reaction, and you have ART, CREATIVITY and INSPIRATION working to their fullest! - the same goes with clothes ;) get wild!
