Sustainable and Intentional Living Through Furniture Restoration with Michelle Laforest

For this episode, I'm joined by Michelle Laforest of Laforest living. Michelle runs an eco-based small business that up-cycles furniture into unique custom pieces that’s inspired by nature and living life more slowly with intention. She hopes to empower and inspire others to look at the world through a more sustainable lense and see that you can create something beautiful in the strangest of places.

It was such a pleasure to speak with Michelle about their experiences restoring old pieces of furniture and breathing new life into something that could have potentially been trashed or sent to the landfill. It was so fascinating to hear about Michelle’s mindset on the creative process and also chat about some of the challenges we face as humans in trying find a realistic balance while still doing our best to make our planet a better place. Who would have thought that reviving old furniture could lead to such a beautiful conversation. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it.
