Lovely buffet in General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint by Boxwood & Brass!    

This chest has been in my family for three generations and was built to stand the test of time.  I refinished the exterior in lamp black milk paint and a deep blue with a black glaze that has brought new life and a refreshed style.  I have left some of the decorative molded pieces in natural wood, adding a nice contrast to the black paint. The cedar interior remains unfinished and has that unmistakable fresh cedar fragrance.
