Event Overview

Materials saved from the landfill:
furniture and salvageable household items

Skills you’ll learn:
how to use natural paints, stains and waxes; how to safely remove old finish with SoyGel

Get the low-down (and potentially dirty) info about where to discover the best “trash” in St. Louis and how to safely treat your furniture and your health! 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.

When repairing old furniture, choose a finish that is both safe for you and the environment. During this demo, you’ll learn all about natural paints, stains and waxes. Add a pop of color to your projects with Milk Paint, an eco-friendly powder paint. Learn how to mix and apply a fresh coat of Perennial’s signature wood wax and natural stains made from walnuts. You’ll leave this workshop with the knowledge to add a whole new look to your furniture!
