✨ TODAY’S SNEAK PEEK ✨
Short and to the point, I’m too sore to type!

Most of the painting is officially DONE! 🎨 And let me tell you… my arms and hands are currently filing a formal complaint against me.

But I was DETERMINED today. I wasn’t stopping until it was DONE. 💪🏼

The floors are completely swept and ready — and THAT is the next feat. 🧹

One step closer. One more thing checked off. One more piece of this crazy vision coming together. ❤️

A TON of work went into this place today, and I am SORE. TIRED. HUNGRY. 😂

But tired hits different when you can look around and say…

“I DID THAT.” 🥹❤️

This isn’t happening overnight. It’s happening one wall, one floor, one detail, one exhausting day at a time.

And we are getting SO. CLOSE. 👀✨

Shower, food, Tylenol and resting my arms, and tell my hands they’re allowed to retire for the evening. 😂😂

NEXT UP: FLOORS. 🫣🔥

08/21/2026

🚨 So yeah… I look rough.

ROUGH 70%
HUMAN 30%
PURE DETERMINATION 110%

And before anybody says, “Girl, you look rough…”

I KNOW. 😂😂😂

But you know what?

This is what building something looks like sometimes.

I looked in the mirror this morning and thought…

“Damn, girl. You look like you’ve been fighting for your life.” 😂💀

At this point, I have replaced coffee with Duo Action Advil. 😂

My hands hurt so bad I can’t even write my own name anymore. If you see me signing something, just know it might say “HELP” instead of Sheila. 😂

My eyes are tired. My hair has completely given up. My face is basically announcing that sleep has left the building.

And these HANDS?! 😭
The chipped nails. The paint. The dry skin. The general evidence of poor life choices…

THEY HAVE SEEN THINGS. 😂

I desperately need a pedicure AND a full set, but apparently my current beauty routine is:

✨ Paint
✨ Sweat
✨ Advil
✨ Repeat

Sleep? Never heard of her.
A normal bedtime? Absolutely not.
Coffee? Replaced by medication and business decisions. 😂

It’s messy.
It’s exhausting.
It’s paint under your fingernails.
It’s sore hands.
It’s late nights.
It’s looking in the mirror and wondering when you became the woman in the photograph. 😂

But then you look around and realize…

YOU’RE ACTUALLY BUILDING THE THING YOU DREAMED ABOUT. ❤️

And now…

THE FLOORS ARE NEXT. 🫠🔥

I’ll sleep when they’re done.
I’ll get my nails done when they’re done.
I’ll remember what day it is when they’re done.

Until then, if you see me walking around with an Advil bottle in one hand, paint splatter all over, and absolutely NO idea what day it is…

MIND YOUR BUSINESS. 😂

I’m coming for those floors with Advil, caffeine withdrawal, sore hands and sheer determination. 😂

MIDDAY SNEAK PEEK 👀💜🩷🩵

Okayyyy… I think she’s starting to come ALIVE. 😍🎨✨

This is just ONE little peek at what’s happening inside Beyond Creation Station… and I’m telling you right now, this room is going to be DIFFERENT.

And guess what?! 👀

The OTHER wall is being handed over to an artist who has officially JUMPED ON THE OPPORTUNITY to create something of his own. 🎨🔥 (does it look like a galaxy?)

Which means…

I have NO IDEA what he’s about to come up with. 😂

And honestly? I LOVE THAT.

Because this isn’t supposed to be my perfect little room.

It’s supposed to be OURS. 💜

A place where kids can create.
Where grown-ups can create.
Where weird ideas are welcome.
Where color belongs.
Where there are no “wrong” ways to make something.
Where YOU can walk in and feel like you’re part of it.

So tell me…

👇👇👇 WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE ON THAT OTHER WALL?!

🎨 Wild & colorful?
🧠 Sensory-inspired?
🌈 Rainbow explosion?
🪩 Funky & psychedelic?
🧑‍🎨 Full-on graffiti?
✨ Something nobody has ever seen before?

DROP YOUR IDEAS BELOW. ⬇️

And then SHARE this post because I want the people of Richlands and beyond to help create this thing with us. 🥹💜

Because this isn’t just my store.

THIS IS YOURS. 🫶

And I cannot WAIT to see what happens when we let creativity take over. 💥🎨✨

08/19/2026

OH MY GOD. 😂😭☕️ THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I LOVE OUR PEOPLE.

WELL LOOK WHAT SOMEBODY LEFT AT MY DOOR. 😭☕️😂

Apparently y’all took my “I’m drinking coffee out of a CHILD’S SIPPY CUP because there is NO COFFEE SHOP” post personally. 😂

Because somebody just left me a REAL. ACTUAL. COFFEE CUP. at my door. 🥹☕️💕

No note. No big announcement.

Just “Here. This woman clearly needs a damn coffee cup.” 😂

And honestly…

THANK YOU. 🥹❤️

You have NO idea how much these little acts of kindness mean to me.

But now…

WHEN YOU SEE ME OUT IN THESE STREETS WITH MY CURLS BOUNCING AND MY PEP BACK IN MY STEP…

JUST KNOW…

I GOT THAT THANG ON ME. 😏

☕️ COFFEE.
☕️ IN A CUP.
☕️ MADE FOR COFFEE.

WE HAVE OFFICIALLY MOVED UP IN THE WORLD. 😂😂😂

Whoever you are…

you just may have saved a construction worker/entrepreneur from having to drink her morning coffee out of a sippy cup.

And for that…

YOU ARE A HERO. 🦸‍♀️☕️😂

Thank you for seeing my ridiculous little post, laughing with me, and then actually DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

This community is something special.

Now excuse me…

I HAVE A BUILDING TO FINISH AND A COFFEE CUP TO BREAK IN. 😏☕️

💕 CURLS BOUNCING. PEP RESTORED. COFFEE SECURED. 💕

08/19/2026

GOOD MORNING FROM THE STRUGGLE 😂☕️ (THE EVIDENCE) and 📣 announcement (call for artist!)

I have no coffee cup.
I have a CHILD’S SIPPY CUP.
And I still have an entire building to finish today.

Drinking my coffee out of my kid’s sippy cup in the camper because apparently that’s all I could find to put coffee in. I wish I were joking.

THE NO COFFEE SHOP STRUGGLE IS REAL. (But not for long! 👀)

Every morning it smacks me directly in the face. 😂 That’s why I look rough and the paint is my cover.

BUT ANYWAY…We have A LOT to do today.

🎨 Finish painting
🧹 Get these floors prepped
✨ Start designing one of the MOST FABULOUS ROOMS in this entire place
👀 And get DEEP into the details.

And speaking of details…

WHERE ARE MY GRAFFITI ARTISTS?! 🎨🔥

Because I may have slung a spray can or two back in the day…

Insert statute of limitations here. 😂

I’ve still got a little old-school OG in me.

BUT I WANT TO SEE WHAT THE NEW SCHOOL HAS GOT.

I want ARTISTSSSSS who want to make their mark.

COLLAB WITH ME.

Not just paint a wall.

MAKE. YOUR. MARK.

Bring me your style.

Your weird.

Your color.

Your talent.

Your “I don’t know if anybody will let me do this” ideas.

CUS I WILLLLLL. 😂🔥

Because I’m telling you right now…

IT’S ME. 😏

I want to feature local artists and give you a space where people can walk in, see your work and know:

YOU MADE THAT.

A little recognition.

A little exposure.

And a whole lot of BRAGGING RIGHTS. 😂

So if you’re an artist—or you know one
TAG THEM so they can come TAG the store!

Send them this.

SEND THEM TO ME.

Show up with the cans. 🎨🔥

📍 508 Main St, Maysville

Come find me.

Because I’ve got a wall waiting…

…and I’ve got a feeling somebody is about to make it FABULOUS.

Now let me finish this coffee from a sippy cup and go make some magic.

Today is going to be a good day.

Even if I have to drink it like a toddler to get there. 😂☕️💕

I promise not to throw a tantrum like one.

…probably. 😏😂
