Ever have that old piece of furniture sitting around that you can’t get rid of? Or how about that table you want to refinish but just don’t quite know how? Well, you’re in luck! In this class you’ll learn distressing techniques and different applications so you can give new life to grandma’s old coffee table that you just can’t bear to part with.
