Aging with DIY Dignity

Make what’s old new again by refinishing it to look, er, old.

Lauren Lane Décor will teach you how to take worn out furniture and refinish it with that hand-rubbed velvety lustre of your grandmother’s heirloom items. The studio offers weekend classes that teach distressing techniques using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Classes are $250 and include lunch and all materials.

Upcycle your way to furniture even your grandkids will love. —Jaelyn Molyneux
