We absolutely love the transformation of our latest flip. This old, outdated mid century piece came into the shop last month in desperate need of a facelift. We decided to put all of our cards on the table and go all-in on a complete overall.
Originally a low dresser from the 1960’s, this piece is now versatile enough to fit in almost every room in your house. It can be used as a dresser, buffet, credenza, or entertainment / tv stand.
After stripping everything down to the original veneer...
"This beautiful bar is one of three Art Deco pieces that belonged to my clients grandparents. The set was tired. It needed a lot of restoration work and love and patience. Now it’s ready to serve more generations!
My clients chose General Finishes Antique White with Candlelight stain and a satin finish to refinish this piece. We replaced the hardware, several of the original knobs were broken or completely missing, to a more modern champagne gold that turned out to be the perfect match for...

"This drop leaf table has such a cool look to it, I knew it deserved a second chance at life but just needed some chairs to go with it!

Top was stained in General Finishes Flint Liquid Oil Stain which I think compliments the paint color perfectly!" - Upcycling by Amy
It’s amazing what some paint, new hardware, new oak tops and lined drawers can do.

Body refinished in a custom mix of GF Millstone and Reverent Gray creating an off white/beige with subtle hints of gray. The perfect neutral to compliment any decor.

"The White Oak used to make this dining set traveled half-way across the country from a custom sawmill in New York, owned and operated by Margaret Liebert’s father. The tree grew on their family farm and was milled by her father and her brother. She brought the wood back to IL and began searching for someone to turn it into a dining set. We are so honored that you chose us to make this special piece for you that can be passed down through the family for years to come. How wonderful it will be...

This one had seen better days; the old veneer needed to be removed and replaced and I chose this beautiful mahogany piece, stained in American Walnut Liquid Oil Based Stain, to match the decor in my customer's home.

The base of the table was painted my favorite black, General Finishes Lamp Black, and sealed for ultra durability." - Fin +...

Custom Buffet in Flint Oil Based Stain
"This solid oak dining set was the sturdiest furniture I’ve had the pleasure of working on yet. When I looked for signs of craftsmanship I found out that it was built in Yugoslavia, which I found interesting and made it even more special to refinish! Once I got to work, I discovered that the wood pattern beneath the old finish was so symmetrical it was almost uncanny, and exposing it gave the table a fresh, updated look. All pieces were sanded down to natural wood, stained with General Finishes...

"This was stained with General Finishes American Walnut then got a light coat of Black Gel Stain- I say light because I was impatient and didn't wait the recommended time & my first coat of Arm-R-Seal took quite a bit of the black off. The tops then got 3 coats of Arm-R-Seal Satin, my favorite topcoat!" - Flipping Fabulous
This project is a combination of a tile top table and a portable coaster. The tile was custom made at a local pottery shop. The table was inspired by the splay-legged table by Garrett Hack. The top and aprons are natural cherry. The legs are stained cherry. General Finishes products were used to complete the project. The wood conditioner and stain were straightforward and easy to use. For the topcoat I found applying the finish with a foam brush and wiping the excess off with a cloth...

The two cabinet doors were cracked as well so new ones were custom made and trim added to the front. She was given a good sanding and cleaning and then stained with GF Salem from top to bottom. She was then painted with GF Lamp Black on the body. I added a coat of gel stain in Antique Walnut to the top to add...
