“Finishing School” is the next step for New Living and The Green Painter, which are now showcasing headboards, tables and benches hand made by in-house artists using salvaged materials found right in the Bayou City.

The DIY concept is the brainchild of the stores’ founder and owner Jeff Kaplan, who sees “Finishing School” as a natural extension of the green products and services New Living and The Green Painter afford their customers.
