Refresh your space for spring this weekend at the ReStore Do It Yourself Paint Workshop March 25
March 22, 2017
It’s the perfect season to refresh outdoor spaces and give new life to old furniture. The Atlanta Habitat for Humanity ReStore “Spring into Savings” event is Friday, March 24, and Saturday, March 25 and will feature donations from the ACE Hardware Spring Convention & Exhibits and the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Expo. Bargain shoppers will find great deals on quality outdoor furniture, patio accessories, gardening tools, outdoor fireplaces, portable stoves, birdfeeders, and a variety of spring items.
Also on Saturday, shoppers can join Karen Cooper, blogger at The DIY Bungalow, for a free DIY workshop on reviving and repainting old furniture in time for the changing seasons.
Topics include:
- Prep furniture for painting, including cleaning, sanding and priming.
- Paint with various finishes (chalky finish, latex, spray paint, etc.) and when and how to use them.
- When NOT to paint a piece of wood furniture but restore its beauty using other methods.
“Thanks to donations received from local tradeshows and businesses, the Atlanta Habitat ReStore has a variety of items needed to get outdoor living areas ready for those warm days to come,” says Dan Maddox, Executive Vice President and COO of Atlanta Habitat. “It’s a great opportunity for customers to enjoy bargains while helping further our mission of transforming communities.”
