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 +...

"Bippity, boppity, boo. This solid wood Sumpter Cabinet Co. dresser was brought back from certain death, saved from being another piece, with so much potential, thrown into the landfill. My husband doubted me on this one, and not because he didn't have faith in me but because this piece was NASTY; held together in various places with more screws than I wanted to count, the base had been ripped off, and there were deep scratches in the top as if some animal clung to it for dear life. The saddest...
"This shipped in from Southern Illinois. Circa Early 1900's. Original to the Knox County Indiana Courthouse. The base was custom welded for the addition of a steel frame to structurally prepare for its 4 industrial iron feet. After grinding all rust and imperfections, degreasing and priming, the entire piece was finished in General Finishes Lamp Black. It's gorgeous original solid brass hardware was polished and because all hardware is permanently riveted and not removable, each drawer was...

We agreed on a color and originally were going to paint it solid black, but I decided to keep some wood elements and surprise her. To say she loved it was an understatement. I wish I had filmed her reaction! Lots of clapping, jumping and shouts of joy. It was priceless." - Amost Simple Home   General Finishes Lamp Black Milk...

"This piece by Bassett had the typical 80’s splatter painted, speckled finish. I gave it a much needed update in General Finishes Lamp Black with gorgeous gold hardware. The top was giving me a hard time with both staining and painting evenly, so I updated it with Aspen wood planks and stained in Ebony to give the piece an extra boost of one-of-a-kind style." - Elm Street Designs    
"Say hello to my friend Darla, here. She's a beautiful vintage 5 drawer from approximately the 30's and had a wicked case of 'latex paint disease'. We've since cleared her of this ailment with a chemical strip down and hand sanding. The top had this lovely burl piece but was much too dark to enjoy it's fabulous detail and depth so we did a multi-step bleach process to help clear out some of the aging and tannins and give her a little more modern tone. Just a beautiful example of bookend burl...
