Great Escape: Fabulous Faux

Between the household chores, picking up after the kids, playing chauffeur, volunteering and working at your paid job, you’ve earned yourself a Great Escape. 

Each Wednesday, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give your mind a mini-vacation while you escape from reality for a much-deserved break, so you can return refreshed, renewed and ready to take on your role as “super-mom” again.

After shopping until you dropped in March, expand your horizons and make some new friends in April with some community education classes and recreation lessons.

Last week, we told you about . For this week, unleash your inner artist with faux.

Plan a Great Escape to Room 141 at Oak Creek High School on April 20 from 6-8:30 p.m. for the Fabulous Faux - Metallics, Tuscan, Classic course. For $25 (along with a $33 materials fee), you and your spouse - or you and your friends - can learn some tricks of the trade for perfect edges and rescuing walls. The class discusses money-saving tips, how to add "bling" to metallics and how to use paint to replicate traditional looks and Old World, stone-like walls. Print off the registration form online.
