"I loved how this piece turned out sooo much that I’m keeping it for myself to use in our newly renovated basement lounge that I’ll be sharing with you all soon! This piece was inspired by the Arhaus Finley sideboard which is priced at $3,000! When I saw a short curved end cabinet on Facebook marketplace I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it! It was in pretty rough shape…I had to rebuild the skirting on the bottom and I added 10” mid century style legs which really helped with the height...

"You can never go wrong with a black piece of furniture. It is such a rich, classic color choice. I painted this vintage cherry wood dresser in Lamp Black by General Finishes. The top was sanded to bare wood and again, Lamp Black was used as a color wash. The natural tones from the cherry wood mixed with the black created the beautiful wood toned top.
An all natural furniture salve called Board & Boot by Melange Artisan Mineral Paintswas used to seal the paint as we as condition the...

"Trust me when I say this old Victorian era rocker had seen better days. The wicker was unraveling in areas, it looked as if a dog chewed the rockers. The fabric on the spring loaded cushion was hideous. The old white paint was dingy and dirty and chipping off. It was a hot mess. Do I have a before photo? No. No I do not. You have to take my word, it was a hot mess!
I patched the dog chews, glued the unraveling. Reupholstered the seat and painted it in Lamp Black by General Finishes and...

"I took this plain, wood filing cabinet and spiffed it up a bit. I wanted it to have an industrial look. I used General Finishes Lamp Black to paint the trim and hardware and dry brush the body. The front is a transfer by Re·design with Prima called Industrial Mechanics (blueprint). Everything was sealed with a flat top coat. The final addition was adding new legs." - REmade
"This piece came to me as quite a mess... the wallpaper inside the hutch would have been a big hurdle on its own but include that with the 5 layers of paint underneath it, the random can lid that was permanently adhered inside the lower cabinet and the tacks on almost every shelf under all the paint.
I didn't really know what I was getting into but I got into it pretty darn quick. It took over two weeks of sanding, peeling wallpaper, scraping chemicals off on repeat to get it to a point that...
"After some good old fashioned demo I repaired the nail holes and missing veneer and sanded them all down. I also filled in the old handle holes for the lower drawers. I painted them in General Finishes Lamp Black and sealed them in the High Performance Topcoat. Finally, added the new brushed gold handles and they are ready to shine in their new home!" - Upcycling by Amy

The interior was also completely sanded and sealed in polyurethane." - Estrella Design

"When I found these high back dining chairs with perfectly intact cane, I knew I had to have them! I loved how chic they were and knew they were destined to be black! The seats had seen better days, so I tried my hand at reupholstering and I am quite proud of how they turned out! I just love the new coordinating herringbone fabric! They would look fabulous in a modern home! Paint: General Finishes Lamp Black

"When classic black meets deep woodgrain it’s always a perfect match. This small chest is handmade from solid oak by a local furniture maker. I love the simplicity of this piece and the clean lines throughout. After painting the body, I decided it needed one element of exposed wood. I sanded back the toe kick and gave it a very subtle whitewash. I love how it made the grain just pop!
For this piece I used General Finishes Lamp Black and Alabaster for the wash. The entire piece is sealed with...

"I’m slowly coming around to black. Someone once told me that interior designers say that every room should have some black in it. Which is interesting to me because I always think every room should have some pink in it. Soooo, clearly I’m no interior designer. But I digress… This Empire style beauty was painted in General Finishes Lamp Black with delicate distressing. Then, two coats of GF High Performance Topcoat in Gloss toned with GF’s water based Ebony stain for more depth. And a final...
"Make a statement of excellence without saying a word! That’s exactly what this finished piece represents to me! I played around with a few staging options, but in the end I knew she could handle it on her own!
This gorgeous Sherrill Furniture tallboy was in fairly great shape when I bought it, with the exception of a broken foot. My client chose Lamp Black by General Finishes and it could not be more perfect on this piece! The updated glass knobs are just the icing on the cake " - Sincerely...
"When you’re a furniture refinisher, you have to buy pieces at a low cost in order to be able to put a sale price on it that allows you to earn some money for your work. I saw this buffet listed for sale, but the price was higher than I could do, plus, it was a good driving distance away. So, I scrolled on by. But THEN, I had a potential client contact me asking if I could refinish a buffet for her. That’s right, it was THIS buffet!!! She hadn’t purchased it yet, so we chatted about other...

"These end tables were straight out of the 90’s until I got my hands on them! I absolutely love their clean lines and solid oak construction. They have been transformed with General Finishes Lamp Black giving them the perfect modern finish. I also replaced the dated beveled glass, with flat clear-cut glass. They are truly so gorgeous and would work in any home or office!"
Before & After General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint.
"These ornate buffets are my favorite furniture pieces to paint and it’s been a while since I’ve painted one of these so it was a fun project to refinish! We wanted to keep the design pretty neutral so I chose to paint it General Finishes Lamp Black and stripped the wood on the top and legs to give them a beautiful natural look then sealed it all up in satin top coat!" - NB.Restorations
"Talk about a transformation! This beautiful oak chest has been a sentimental piece to my clients family for the past several decades. Last refinished in the 70’s it was time for it to be given a new life and I think we nailed it!
The top and top three drawers were stained using a custom blend of Antique Walnut and Java Gel Stain while the body was painted in General Finishes Lamp Black for one of my favorite color combinations! All new hardware complete this mega transformation!" - Nap Time...

Stripped and sanded off the original cracked paint. Refinished in General Finishes Lamp Black. Interior done is a dark olive green. Added wood to the door front for an extra pop and stained in special walnut. New hardware throughout. The large handle on the door was salvaged from a barn in Wisconsin.

The original hardware was refinished in antique bronze, white gold and black wax." - Estrella Design
