Spoke w/ Wendy Conklin CEO of Chair Whimsy/Author of Life Whimsy - Creative Entrepreneur & Artisan

I spoke with Wendy over the phone about all the positive creative chairs she is bringing into people's lives and homes. Speaking to Wendy loves what she does and she loves making people smile. Wendy's color is pink which brings life to her chairs and who wouldn't smile when they see the color pink? Wendy and I talked about the word "PLAY." We both agreed that as you reach adulthood people intend to get more serious in life. Sometimes you have to find the inner child and make time to play. I believe to remain happy and be less stressed you have to find your joy. Wendy finds her joy by helping her online course students tap into and cultivate their creativity, giving them permission to "PLAY" and upgrade their joy. Wendy's teaching style makes the challenge of learning a new craft feel accessible and fun! Wendy Conklin, The Chair Stylist, is a former educator turned boutique chair decorator helping people around the globe infuse personality, color, and whimsy into their surroundings. Through her company, Chair Whimsy, she offers various options to turn a boring and beige room into whimsical and wow, including a collection of ready-made designer chairs, custom chair design, and a host of courses to unleash the DIYer’s inner artist.

Wendy lives in a personality-filled home in Round Rock, Texas with her husband and little furry friend Maui, where she enjoys greenhouse gardening, mixing tasty cocktails, and renovating her retro-inspired motorhome as the “Camper Revamper.” Therefore, Life Whimsy is the first book by artisan/entreprenista Wendy Conklin, a unique guidebook featuring practical tips for nurturing creativity in all aspects of life, insights on starting a small business, and step-by-step instructions on how to reupholster an old chair into a usable style piece.
