HARTVILLE – When two toddlers aren t keeping her busy, Bri Mangun works on furniture refinishing projects.
It s a hobby she picked up from her father, Robert Soles, who works with old furniture and wood to create new items. Mangun also makes wreathes and creates wooden signs that are used at weddings.
After bringing new life to the antique pieces, she faced the question of how to sell the items. Justin Mangun, her husband, spotted a property at 328 Prospect Ave. S was for sale. The couple have turned the building into Thirty-two 8 Inspired & Co., a place where local artists and crafters can display and sell their goods.
