It's fabulous, it's faux, it's at MC Continuing Ed

On Saturday, October 8, Linda Coffman will teach her very popular class — “Fabulous Faux for Boring Walls.” During this one-time seminar, Midlanders will have the opportunity to discover inexpensive ways to paint designer walls and “spruce up” homes before holiday entertaining.

The class is taught in two parts: Part 1 covers the basic looks — classic, Tuscan and metallic. This session runs from 9:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon. The Part 2 class (1:00 - 3:30 p.m.) covers Linda’s approaches for popular suede, rustic and modern looks. The cost of each session is $30, and a $10 discount is offered for students who attend both sessions.

Coffman’s approach reveals secrets of the pros. She has been in the wallpapering and faux-painting business for over 18 years. Her work is featured in businesses, hotels, restaurants, bed and breakfasts and fine homes throughout the Minnesota area, and now in Arizona. Hundreds of people are now using her dual-roller techniques to create their own professional looking faux-painted walls.

By taking this class students will learn to paint perfect ceilings and corners, use glaze with double rollers and design numerous looks, such as the leather look and old world looks. Be careful — Linda warns that former students have amazed neighbors and have been asked to do their walls! With just a twist of the wrist, Linda will share tricks of the trade in this very practical and money-saving class.
