Can't get enough of this makeover from Art is Beauty!   Karin of Art is Beauty says " I chose General Finishes Charleton Blue (Chalk Style Paint) for the base of the table and the chairs. I had picked up this pretty fabric for another project and I just loved it and the color went with it perfectly. I painted the base of the table and the chairs and recovered the seats. I can't believe what a difference painting those old beat up ugly chairs made. They had been sitting in my garage for...

"I had this little nightstand in my garage. I decided to go with General Finishes Milk Paint in the color Coastal Blue. I always love how this color pairs with brass or gold hardware. I used my Royal Design Studio’s Royal Stencil Creme in the color Antique Gold and applied it onto the detail to make it pop. The antique gold is a great match to its drawer pulls and feet so the whole thing just came together." - Suzanne Bagheri - The Painted Drawer Collection    

"A bright, bold, Bahamas-inspired, vintage chest of drawers! A perfect pop of color for anywhere in your home. Painted with General Finishes Milk Paint in Corinth Blue, and sealed with GF HPTC in flat. The original hardware was blinged up with metallic gold spray paint.This piece can go with a variety of decor schemes. While it has the antique style, the bold, undistessed color, would allow it to blend well into a mid century or contemporary design as well." - Garage 9

"I picked it up the little footstool for a few dollars at the thrift store. Poor little fella, but I fixed it right up! A little paint always makes everything better. I used Persian Blue on the legs and Snow White on the top. As you can see, I didnt really try to cover it well. I wanted it a bit distressed looking. I actually ended up sanding it a bit all over to make it look like an old footstool. My little beachy footstool is so cute, I love it. And its perfect when sitting at the desk...

"I wanted my colors to work together as a cohesive unit, with each complementing the other. I didnt want one color to outshine the other. So I chose Coastal Blue, Millstone, and Antique White from General Finishes Milk Paint line of products.


...As I started painting the Coastal Blue, I really liked how it made the wood carvings pop. Even though the wood was dried...

Absolutely loving this GF Midnight Blue Chalk Style Paint cabinet from Cupcakes and Crowbars! Dee of Cupcakes and Crowbars says, "I LOVE this cabinet now, and am so glad I didn’t banish it to the yard sale realm. If I had, I wouldn’t have had the chance to try out General Finishes Chalk Style Paint – which, in case you’re wondering, goes on like butter. It isn’t gritty. It isn’t clumpy or weird. It’s really, really good. It took me two coats on the bulk of the cabinet to get perfect coverage...

"I just finished this buffet and used my all time favorite combo-50/50 mix of Persian Blue and Seagull Gray Milk Paints. LOVE this color!" - Kamie of The French Door
"Confession: I’ve never used chalk paint before. I’ve used milk paint extensively, both in powdered form and General Finishes Milk paint (not a a “true” milk paint, but fabulous nonetheless!), latex, and oil. So clearly, I’m not unfamiliar with various paint applications, but chalk paint was uncharted territory. Since I’m nothing if not honest, I didn’t love the Fjord Blue color–it was far more purple than I anticipated; however, one of the great things about General Finishes Chalk Paints and...

Rescued Furnishings says, "Who is ready for THIS!?!?!??!?!?! I want to jump up and down and sing from the mountains because Cynthia let us paint her kitchen in our signature color!!!! Brave and bold! Plus without the oak the back splash pops! I didn't even notice it before. And the counters (which they dislike) really do look better! Galapagos blue may not be for every single one of you but oak definitely isn't and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! I want to hug this kitchen!"
