Recycled Artwork

ON-LINE – If you’re looking for an additional way to refresh your space (following an ACC paint color consultation, of course!), consider changing out your artwork. There are numerous venues for excellent recycled original artwork. Besides Etsy and eBay, you may want to check out Facebook Marketplace(click on the “storefront” icon two spaces to the right of your “house”. Type in what you’re looking for and make sure “Delivery Method” that you click onto “Local Pickup”).

LOCAL – Make it a day trip! The Virginia countryside has so much to offer from vineyards to craft breweries to great restaurants. Add a visit to a local consignment shop for a fun outing to search for new-to-you artwork. Start by heading out Rt 66. to The Plains, VA. Stop for coffee at Doppio Bunny Coffee Shop. Followed by a visit to Baileywyck Antiques. Lots of high end art. Drive west on Rt 55 towards Marshall, VA and stop by Marshall Curated. If it is a warm day sit outside and enjoy lunch from a double decker bus at Johnny Monarch’s. After lunch take a side trip west on Rt 55 to Blue Valley Vineyard and Winery and enjoy the view while you enjoy a wine flight. Next stop take Rt. 17 south to Warretnon, VA stop at the Fox Den. Don’t miss the great shops on Main Street and take in the Old Town Warrenton charm. Before heading home stop at Harry’s in the historic Airlie House for a light dinner or stay the night at Airlie.

Back To The Office or Something New?

With vaccinations widely available and social life back to pre pandemic, millions of Americans are reassessing leaving their home offices to return to their work spaces. The Washington Post reports there is growing evidence that a lot of people are “reassessing what they want to do and how they want to work.” Thousands of jobs remain work-from-home and will remain so even as businesses reopen their office space. Many have found they Iike working from home and don’t want to return to the office. Millions of people are quitting their jobs altogether.

America’s Color Consultants (ACC) is a business opportunity particularly suited for those creative/artistic types who have found that working from home has proven to be desirable, and for those whom the pandemic has taught that life is short. ACC consultants own their own business, and thus own their time – working part-time, full-time, even overtime if they want.  They meet a wide variety of people and provide a valuable, efficient service in a growth industry, all the while exercising their creative muscles. And they operate their business from a home-based office.

There will be those who will happily return to their pre-pandemic work environments, but for those who seek something different, there are numerous opportunities for individuals to use their unique talents to both earn a living and satisfy their soul.
