There’s no denying the tug of a great antique chair by the side of the road, but without crafty skills we just drive on by.

We’ll be pulling over now that bold design expert, upholstery queen and Steven & Chris regular Andrea Ford has launched RE:Style Studio.

Geared to gals, her stylish DIY space offers workshops like BYOP (bring your own project), re-upholstery ($100/day), creating tufted headboards ($250 plus fabric), and building ottomans from scratch ($300). She also offers guided vintage-buying trips ($150 with lunch) and the studio is equipped with a gourmet kitchen for DIY parties.

Let the dumpster diving begin.
