This is the first article I read on Substack and Iโ€™m so glad I found it. Itโ€™s refreshing to read something outside of interior design but that is still very much related to it. Your โ€œside hustleโ€ helps us all! I just found out about side hustle because of the article. Anyway, super refreshing, you made my night. I am a few weeks away from opening my design studio and I wanted a little cozy gathering and tour tips are perfect. Thank you for being you and giving us your genuine ideas. PN
