It's been fashioned into a bench that could fit in your hallway, at the foot of your bed or in your mudroom. It's been painted in General Finishes Coastal Blue Milk Paint. The edges have been rubbed away to show the wood underneath." - Eight Hundred Furniture, LLC.

Beautiful side tables in General Finishes Coastal Blue Milk Paint

"These upright Lane cedar chests dated 1956 have been completely transformed and given a new life. The second my client told me the colors she was using in her bedroom makeover I knew we were going to have some fun!   The sister chests were painted in General Finishes Coastal Blue, Ballet Pink and Coral Crush. The piano hinges were painted gold to match the new hardware that compliment this beautiful color palette perfectly!"

"Can we just keep these! We love how these nightstands turned out! They are painted in a custom mix of Seagull Gray and Persian Blue Milk Paints by General Finishes!"     

"These little cabinets are one of my favorite pieces to refinish. I think because they are easy to move around my shop alone, easier pieces to complete and I usually add a fun paper on the inside. This piece was sprayed with my Fuji Spray Hvlp Q5 Platinum (look at that shine!) for a very smooth and even finish. I used a custom color created with General Finishes equal parts of Lamp Black, China Blue and Blue Moon. I never tire of Spoonflower wallpaper and their endless design options and...

"This adorable secretary was picked from my inventory to be renewed and I am so glad my client picked one of my favorite colors! I started by staining the bottom a few shades darker using General Finishes Java Gel Stain while the top was painted with Persian Blue on the outside and Antique White on the inside.

Blue Moon Milk Paint accented with Van Dyke Brown Glaze Effects

"It’s no secret I love the two tone look! Especially when clients choose a different color or design for the backing in a hutch, it always provides a nice pop of color! This was painted in General Finishes Blue Moon and the backing done in Persian Blue which compliment each other perfectly. Using wallpaper or fabric on the backing is also a fun alternative to paint. So many things you can do to update a piece of furniture!"

This cabinet was my clients grandmother’s and she wanted it proudly displayed in her home but it needed updating. Painted in General Finishes Persian Blue with Van Dyke Brown glaze as an ode to its antique history and the top freshly stained in Cabernet."

"I’m not a blue person unless it’s some darker shade of Navy. This blue has me questioning all that. Sideboard finished with General Finishes China Blue and Flat Topcoat." 

"I'm really pleased with how this trunk came out. Our customer picked it out of our warehouse and wanted to keep the mid-century vibe with some wood showing. She picked the new General Finishes Carbon Gray Gel Stain & GF China Blue for the base.   Gray can be tricky for older woods. The top came out nicely, but the other areas struggled to take any stain - totally normal, as they probably weren't the same cut of wood. I used a mix of Fusion Mineral Paint Ash and Clear Glaze to tone...
