"So fun when a client picks a fun color. This piece received a complete makeover. Painted with a 50/50 mix of General Finishes Coral Crush and Persimmon Milk Paint." - Furniture Flips
"General Finish products used include Medium Brown Dye Stain, Espresso Water Based Wood Stain, and Dark Chocolate Milk Paint. The lotus flowers on the drawer sides were all done by hand with the Espresso Stain and water. Found a grain enhancer that seemed to work with the products."
"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

"What a difference a new paint and stain color can make! This set was painted Lamp Black by General Finishes and the table top was stripped and stained in
GF Whitewash Water Based Stain. A winning combination!" - Flipping Unbelievable
Have I told you how much I love chartreuse??
This old girl needed a refresh! She was solid structurally but looked tired. Once I got the old finish off the top, I knew that I wanted to keep it wood. And I loved the wood details on the top drawer so that just had to be wood as well. I tried taping off the details fifty ways to Sunday to protect them from the paint but I just ended up with a lot of wasted tape. I remembered when I first started this business, people were using Vaseline as a...
"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...

This was a small space, but had a huge impact on my kitchen as now I gained so much extra counter space in the rest of the kitchen.I custom built the shelves, modified the upper cabinets to look more like built in, then added a custom countertop." - Flipping Unbelievable

"This beautiful mid century bedroom set is a treasured family heirloom and I was honored to revive and renew it! I sanded everything down to bare wood, left the wood natural, and painted the drawer fronts in General Finishes Basil Milk Paint. New flat black hardware complete this transformation!" - Nap Time Furniture Creations
"Perfect size for coffee table or storage. I used General Finishes for this project. I painted the case Basil Milk Paint and used Antique Brown Water Based Stain. 3 coats of satin topcoat for years of protection." - The Furniture Fix
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! That’s just what my client saw when she picked this piece up off the side of the road. When she dropped it off for me to save, we had a GOOD laugh! It was literally falling apart…we even named it “the lost cause!” She was adamant though, that we try and save it as she saw its potential and had a clear vision for it!
After a full days work of rebuilding this from the inside out, it proved itself that it was no longer a lost cause, but a strong and sturdy...
"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...
"This solid oak White Clad Furniture Co. cabinet has been updated for the Masters! It is a one of a kind wine and liquor bar! It has been painted a deep green (General Finishes Emerald + Dark Chocolate Milk Paint)r eminiscent of the grass on the course. Gold leaf damask stenciling has been added to the inside of the cabinet doors and matches the original gold hardware. The top has a light wash of GF Snow White, letting the wood grain peek through." - Radiant Light Restorations in Augusta,...
"Believe me when I say, I tried EVERYTHING to find a spot for this beauty in my house. I purchased this piece from Habitat for Humanity Restore and instantly thought bar cart, but this piece is so versatile that you could use it as a coffee bar, a media stand, a plant stand, even a mobile book shelf. The entire piece was paint washed in General Finishes Millstone, this color is easily becoming one of my favorite neutrals! Even the Folk II Transfer from Re·design with Prima received a paint wash...
"Solid mahogany wood buffet. All I can say is WOW!! This piece is absolutely stunning. I sanded down all the doors, drawers and the top to reveal the gorgeous wood with a little accent piece around all the edges. Gave it all a fresh new coat of Antique Walnut Gel Stain a few coats of High Performance Topcoat. For the body I chose General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint." - Ray's Refurbishing
"Design for the present, with an awareness of the past.
The previous generations of craftsmen had timeless taste. Color and finish trends come and go, but some designs stand the test of time. This Hepplewhite dresser is one of them. Circa 1940 this piece was modeled after the original designs of English cabinet maker George Hepplewhite from the 18th century. It has an elegant serpentine front along with the lesser found serpentine sides on the top. True to it's English roots, we chose...
"Beautiful antique dresser by the Northern Furniture Company which was started in 1881 in Sheboygan WI. This appears to be a mix of oak (body) and maple (drawer fronts). Updated using General Finishes Milk Paint in Basil and then lightly distressed. The drawer fronts were sanded to bare wood and left that way. The original knobs were missing so I added vintage-look library pulls." - Garage 9 v2

"This custom desk is giving me ALL the deep blue moody vibes. After a super thorough sanding and cleaning we realized it was super tippy because two legs were longer than the others so I corrected that problem with even more sanding. Gorgeous color of General Finishes Blue moon and sealed in General Finishes High Performance Topcoat." Upcycling by Amy
"Stunning, vintage trunk. Handmade. I kept all the original charm intact. The bronze iron latch, hinges and gorgeous feet. I also left all the little “beauty marks” it has acquired over the years. Painted Basil, dry brushed with Antique White & glazed with Van Dyke Brown Glaze Effects all by General Finishes! I also added that front wood embellishment, dry brushed, glazed and lightly distressed." - Ollie Rose Market
Sharing a cute little cabinet I sold last month. It was such a great size and wish I could get my hands on more small pieces like this. Painted in Perfect Gray by General Finishes Milk Paint.
Stunning waterfall vanity painted General Finishes Coastal Blue Milk Paint.
"Phew. To say this one was an undertaking for me is an understatement. And I, for sure, underestimated how much time it was going to take me to complete everything!
A waterfall piece was on my bucket list, but I never got around to refinishing one, so when my client (also a friend) asked if I could take it on as a custom project, I jumped at the chance. Little did I know how many repairs were going to go...

"Look how SHINY she is!!! We don’t often use a high gloss top coat , b/c they’re difficult to work with and they amplify EVERY little flaw. But we thought this stunning curvy girl was worth the trouble, and BOY we were right! SUCH a luxurious look! Ballet Pink from General Finishes - it’s my favorite pink!" - The High Street Home
"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...
"I didn’t have an instant vision when I saw this beautiful Stanley mid century modern chest but I am very happy with how it all came together, renewed and refreshed!
General Finishes Alabaster which pairs beautifully with the natural wood of the spacious bottom three drawers and legs. The original hardware was kept brushed brass but refreshed, and the drawers were lined with a fun gold polka dot paper."

The tops are textured harlequin. General Finishes Lamp Black, Pitch Black Glaze and High Performance Topcoat with Rustoleum Metallic Accents in Classic Bronze.
These end tables were very dated and the orange finish was failing. If you remember from a post a few days ago, I ended up removing the entire finish down to bare wood. We also added a plain piece of trim to cover the detail work that was on the front to make them more modern and up to date.
I started the refinishing with two coats of shellac to seal the wood and block the wood tannins from coming through my finish. I still wasn’t sure what direction I was going with these tables but because...
