It requires a little bit of gentle maintenance, but in the long run it is much easier and will look better.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cb7ab3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5cb7ab3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wescover.com\/p\/lamps-by-half-halt-at-creators-studio--PrkKIpNCOj\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2fc38fvgzflkjlx9af60-768x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-10446 wp-image-10464\" alt=\"Saturn Lamp by HALF HALT\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2fc38fvgzflkjlx9af60-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2fc38fvgzflkjlx9af60-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2fc38fvgzflkjlx9af60-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2fc38fvgzflkjlx9af60-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2fc38fvgzflkjlx9af60-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2fc38fvgzflkjlx9af60.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Saturn Lamp<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9d3ac8f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9d3ac8f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-779a0e6\" data-id=\"779a0e6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f5c32e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9f5c32e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Do you feel there have been specific challenges being a women owned business in the furniture and woodworking space?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fc770c8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fc770c8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d615b93\" data-id=\"d615b93\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f916e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1f916e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I just feel like a part of the community.
