Eco-Friendly Furniture Restoration

In this demonstration and talk, Perennial’s Executive Director will share with you some of the organization’s tips and tricks to finding furniture, repairing joints, and refinishing surfaces — all with the earth in mind! You’ll get the low-down (and potentially dirty) info about where to discover the best “trash” in St. Louis. We’ll leak some of Perennial’s favorite spots to find discarded furniture, give you insight into the city’s bulk trash system, and link you to online resources where someone else’s trash can become your treasure. Through hands-on demonstrations, you’ll learn all about natural paints, stains, and waxes.
