"I stained the top of the dresser using General Finishes Black Gel Stain and sealed it with the Gel TopCoat sealer. This was the first time I used the Gel TopCoat sealer and I really like how easy it was to use. I will be using it again. I covered over the stained top and sprayed the dresser using General Finishes Chalk Style Paint in Black Pepper. Once...

That FlippinFurniture Girl says, "This corner cabinet once belonged to my client's grandmother. My repeat customer was thrilled to finally have it in her own home, but wasn't crazy about the finish or the decorative glass, so she contacted me!
We spent some time together discussing a few different options to update the cabinet and make it work with her decor. Her final decision was "I trust you, make it beautiful."
I am happy to say she was thrilled with the transformation...

"Refurbished by Sweet Threepeats did this piece up for our school auction in General Finishes Lamp Black with Brown Mahogany Gel stain. Looking classy!!" - Shannon of Sweet Threepeats
"I always have said that great design happens when there's a juxtaposition of textures or styles like rustic and elegant or vintage and modern. This piece is a great example where rustic and elegance come together perfectly. It all started with a family piece my client was ready to kick to the curb because more veneer was missing than not. I convinced her it was worth saving and set forth with a plan to embrace its storied past. I began by removing the veneer from the top which revealed the...

"Gorgeous Paris chic French accent chest done in Lamp Black , hand distressing and clear satin wax. This combo never gets old!!"
-Shabby Accent Living
MSG NOTE:

"This is my first time painting a dresser black and I don’t know why I haven’t done it sooner. To prepare this piece I lightly sanded the top with fine grit sandpaper and then got to painting. Because I wanted the dresser to be heavily distressed I only had to use one coat of General Finishes Milk Paint in Lamp Black. After distressing I put on two coats of General Finishes High Performance Topcoat in Flat. This was a pretty fast project since I only had to use one coat of paint, which I loved...

RPK Interiors created this stunning desk with General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint and Java Gel Stain.
"This week, I was lucky enough to try General Finishes new chalk paint line. I mixed half part Black Pepper to half part Empire Gray and created a gorgeous deep gray/almost black hue. While drying, I dabbed the black onto my brush to basically streaked it over the deep gray. I only lightly brushed over the detailed sides to highlight the design and then used 220 grit sandpaper to distress it. The whole piece was easily sealed in General Finishes Flat Out Flat topcoat. I used a simple sponge...

Studio Paint of Fonthill Ontario refinished this gorgeous mirror with General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint. Loving this regal look!
"This piece evolved a little from my initial vision but I think the final product turned out great. The knobs finally inspired me paint the body black and to sand the top down and try to restain it. Unfortunately, the stain came out uneven so in the end I decided to paint the entire piece. It has been refinished using General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint and sealed with dark brown wax to deepen the color slightly. New black and white knobs and drawer liner finish off the look!" - Burlap...

Need a new color combo? Pair our Lamp Black Milk Paint with Walnut Water-Based Wood Stain! We're loving how Jenny at Evolution of Style_ used it on this desk restyle! Jenny shares, "I had a change of heart midway through the project and decided to go with Lamp Black. I'm in love with the result... I used General Finishes High Performance Polyacrylic and their Walnut Wood Stain. The Walnut stain is a fantastic color - not too dark, not too light. And you can make it darker if you want by...

Loving this gorgeous mirror makeover from Amy of High Style Restyle_. This gold mirror was an $8 steal at a local thrift store. Don't you just love it when that happens?! Gorgeous style but the brassy gold needed some severe toning down. I started by dry brushing the entire mirror with Lamp Black by General Finishes. Just adding the black toned down the brassy gold but it still needed a little something else. I found some metallic bronze by Modern Masters in my stash, so I brushed a little...
Amazing transformation to a "Pottery Barn Knockoff" from Mary Beth's Place_! [The original piece] was in really great shape, and needed some light sanding on the body to correct some dents and nicks that happened over the years. The top, however, was in rough shape. Deep scratches in the finish meant I had to strip the entire top, sand, and restain it. I used General Finishes Antique Walnut - it's a gorgeous natural color, that coupled with black looks gorgeous! It shines again with several...
Is this table magazine-worthy or what!? It was refinished by Susan of Saw Nail and Paint_ of Seattle, WA.Company_. " I spotted this vintage oak draw leaf table at my favorite Goodwill a couple of weeks ago and I thought it would be perfect for my dining room. This table was a steal at just $60. The top had some pretty bad scratches and water stains, but even so, this is one of those rare finds that I could have just used as is. I stripped the old finish off the top, let it dry for a day and...
