Forget the turkey — this Thanksgiving, we're feasting on innovation! We sat down with the brilliant mind behind Repaint Studios, entrepreneur Billie Asmus, for a chat filled with sustainable genius and a hearty helping of holiday cheer. And yes, there will be pie (metaphorically speaking, of course).
Billie, a mom, entrepreneur, inventor, and all-around stand-up human being, created Repaint Studios with a simple yet powerful goal: to cut down on the unnecessary waste of single use plastic paint trays and liners by inventing a much more sustainable and reliable option. And wouldn't you know it, her innovative Repaint Tray with its revolutionary resealable lid feature is like the perfect Thanksgiving side dish for a stress-free holiday!
From family chaos to sustainable solutions
"Being a mom," Billie shares with a warm laugh, "taught me the value of efficiency. In the early days, I tried balancing being a stay-at-home mom while flipping furniture. However as a parent, there will be days you need to drop everything at a moment's notice, (no matter how important it may feel) to take care of your kids. At the end of the day, those moments with my family are far too valuable to be spent messing with the hassle of trying to save my paint and rollers and dealing with endless cleanup." And thus, the Repaint Studios magic began.
The innovative Repaint tray isn't just a pretty face; it's a game-changer. The airtight lid? Pure genius! It means you can pause your project, knowing your paint will stay fresh and vibrant, ready for you to pick up where you left off, another day. Thanksgiving prep anyone?
Imagine this: Instead of spending your entire day painting (to attempt to complete your project in one go), you can enjoy moments in your day spent with family, and then, perhaps in the afternoon, when the hustle and bustle subsides slightly, you can sneak away for an hour or so, completing your project without disrupting the day. That's what we call a win-win!
This simple yet effective feature addresses a common pain point for painters – the need to finish projects in one sitting! Now you can break down projects into manageable chunks, making painting more accessible and less overwhelming.
A sustainable feast for the planet (and your wallet)
But Billie's vision extends beyond simple convenience. Repaint Studios is deeply committed to sustainability. "We believe in creating beautiful things without sacrificing the planet," she explains. "Our trays are designed for longevity and reusability, to help reduce plastic waste and lessen our environmental footprint."
This Thanksgiving, let's all give thanks for the small acts that make a big difference — the reusable tote bag, the conscious consumer choice, and of course, the brilliantly designed Repaint Tray by Repaint Studios that allows us to create stunning projects without sacrificing the environment or family time. It's a sustainable feast, both for the planet and our souls.
A thankful heart, a bright future
As we wrap up our chat, Billie shares her own heartfelt Thanksgiving sentiments. "I'm incredibly thankful for my family, my team, the overwhelming support from people across the world, and not to mention the opportunity to build something meaningful. Seeing the positive impact Repaint Studios has on people's lives and the environment fills my heart with immense gratitude."
And this Thanksgiving, we're adding Repaint Studios and its innovative founder to our list of things to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!
