**Our Background**
We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what we do. We are a young, vivacious husband and wife duo, Drew and Karissa. We love God, family, adventure, and traveling. You will find these basic themes incorporated throughout our work. We established The Glam Garage in 2015. I am the brains while he is the brawn. I am the artist and he is my easel of support. It works perfectly for us! Ever since I can remember, I loved design, decorations, and crafting. My parents were THE MOST patient parents in the world, allowing me to flip and redecorate my bedroom, sometimes even twice a year. They let me experiment with techniques, paints, and ideas all around their home without saying a word! (And, honestly, it did not always turn out so well). However, this allowed me to continually grow, refine my skills, and chase my true passion in life. I soon began to complete customized refurbishing projects for friends and family. We have booked several clients for home and holiday decorating services. Finally, after several months of marriage, with my husband’s full support and “brawniness”, we opened up The Glam Garage out of our tiny rented garage in our apartment complex. We are now expanding and couldn’t be more excited. I specialize in the creative touches, painting, and details, while Drew completes the construction. He never even groans when I ask him to carry heavy furniture to random locations for photos. God has truly blessed us with creativity, love, and a desire to follow our dreams. We are so thankful and excited to share this with you!
**Present & Future**
We are driven by raw passion and dedication. We strongly believe in the power of individuality. One-of-a-kind. There is no feeling like it. Cozying up in a home full of lovingly handcrafted pieces is truly exhilarating to us. We want to share this with you. Our inventory stock is rather small. Purposely. As the designer, I prefer to take extra time with each piece to achieve perfection. Many people can pick up a paintbrush, but we are sure to add that extra touch. We also believe in utilizing various materials and media. We love wood, but are open to flipping laminate furniture as well. No matter your budget or what items you are seeking, we try to make high quality, one-of-a-kind pieces accessible for everyone. This is why we encourage you to take a look at our shop. We are so much more than other furniture stores and designers. We are continually educating ourselves on recent design trends, incorporating mixed materials and media, experimenting, and dreaming of what to do next.
Boy do we have a vision. We have grown so much and have ideas galore for the future! For now, we are fully open for purchase online. We will soon be contracting with local boutiques and shops to display pieces for purchase. More home design projects are definitely anticipated. We will also be attending several art shows.
