Classes are $120. which includes all materials, a book and a great lunch. Susie says, "I believe lunch is important, it gives time for discussion asking questions and sharing ideas."

The two you ladies on the recently painted coffee table are Mallory and Marley Hughes

Mallory owns the Confetti Crate and they run the store together. Mallory paints all the time when she is not at the store. She and Marley are constantly on Facebook or on Instagram sharing photos of painted furniture, restock alerts on paints and supplies or letting customers know about upcoming classes."
