I had such a lovely day painting with Joni! It was such a pleasure being in her Chalk Painting class. I can’t wait to start my projects. Thank you Joni!

Painting 101

You will learn about the makeup of chalk paint and milk paint and why they're different from acrylic. You learn all the techniques necessary to create your own beautiful heirloom at home. I will show you the proper application of paint, distressing, and finishing.

These steps will prepare you to take furniture painting to the next level. You’ll take home a hand painted color sheet, sample boards and confidence to tackle your project.

 
Joni and Dave are awesome people and made my up cycled altar and amazing island for my kitchen. The store is filled with treasures and pieces that will make your home special and unique. Check it out!!

Great shop and very friendly! I’m looking forward to going back when I’m ready for more pieces. I was given a great sale price on a desk and chair and I’m happy with the way they look in my home.

One-on-One Classes

Meet with Joni or a member of the creative team in a one-on-one setting to work on anything you've got on your wish list. If you have always wanted to learn how to {fill in the blank}, chances are we can do it together. It can be as simple as learning to paint furniture to decorative embellishments to a particular upholstery technique to anything in between.

You can bring in a piece of furniture that you purchased at The Furniture Rescue, or an item you've been waiting to work on. Let's spend two hours getting started on it - or even finishing it.

These classes are scheduled outside of shop hours. Give us a call and we'll find a time that works for you! One-on-one classes start at $300 and you are welcome to bring a friend or family member to work on the project with you.

To book a one-on-one, give us a call at the shop (703-543-9248) and we’ll work through specifics!
