We're just a couple of kids who decided to take on adulthood a little early. My name is Brooke, I was born and raised in Tuscaloosa Al. I'm 20 years old and work full time for my furniture business. I have a great family and an awesome husband. We recently said I do back in December 2011. My husband, Alex, is 22 and in school in the radiology field. He's originally from Jasper Al, a little North of Tuscaloosa. We hated our long distance relationship (even if we were only an hour apart) so we decided to go ahead and get hitched. So far it's been amazing! I love being a wife and spending everyday by his side. Before our wedding we came to realize we had NO furniture, like none, zip. So we decided to go furniture shopping...Well long story short, if you want pretty distressed furniture with lots of character and charm, you need to have a big pocket book (something we defiantly didn't have). I started researching on how to create the style we liked on cheap stuff we found at the thrift shops. Turns out, I'm pretty good at it. We started painting and distressing everything. Before we knew it, friends, family, and just random people wanted us to do the same to their stuff. I fell in love. It was a new hobby for me. Kind of a stress reliever too (which is always a plus). My husband was the muscle behind everything. Moving, loading, sanding, more moving, and a little more loading. I honestly couldn't do it without him. It got bigger than I ever thought it would. We decided to create a website and even a Facebook page. We have been blessed with so much business and have met some amazing people along the way. I love what I do, and I don't think I could ever get tired of seeing the faces of my customers when they see their new and improved furniture.
