"It’s no secret that navy & gold is one of my favorite combos, so you know I was excited when my customer chose those colors for her heirloom china cabinet.

One thing that was important to my customer, is that we showed off some of the wood and stain it in a less orange, more brown finish. We decided to paint the body, and then refinish the...

"Full reveal time for this handsome, blue devil! Every drawer had veneer damage and loose veneer so I decided to remove it all with a paint scraper, moisture and heat. I only stabbed my wrist once and it was enough for a tetanus vaccine. After a good sanding and patching some holes I painted the dresser in a custom mix of General Finishes Costal Blue and Blue Moon and the legs are stained in GF Antique Walnut Gel Stain. The whole piece is sealed and new hardware has been added!" - Upcycling by...

That's not because of photo filters... it's a true chameleon color- a mix of navy & black, it's exactly as it's name implies - a bit of Twilight! The top was sanded and drenched in Fusion Mineral Paint Hemp Oil & the drawers, which have kind of wonky bottoms, got some freshness with Re·design with Prima Springtime and Linear Floral Decor Stamps, using Midnight Blue Ink." - Flipping...

"This beautiful cedar chest is painted in a mix of General Finishes Seagull Gray and Persian Blue Milk Paint!" - Belle Maison    
"If I had to pick one piece of furniture that everyone could use in their home but probably don’t realize...it would be a cedar chest. It’s the perfect piece for toy storage, coffee table, bench seating, at the end of a bed, and of course for storing clothes and blankets. This cedar chest has been around for almost 60 years...and I had the privilege of meeting the original owner. It has since been passed down in the family and with the new updated look it will be used for many more years....

This commissioned piece was so much fun! She came together really nicely and turned out better than I imagined!   My client wanted something fun that coordinated with a blue desk she currently has in her bedroom so I went with General Finishes milk paint in China Blue.

"Talk about a before-and-after! This rock maple server had good bones and excellent construction. The only problem it has was a dated finish and even more dated hardware. To solve that, I painted it with Coastal Blue Milk Paint by General Finishes and glazed it with Pitch Black Glaze Effects. After adding some oil rubbed bronze cup pulls, it had a new lease on life!"
