"This 8 drawer dresser underwent a few modifications. First the entire piece was stripped of the old, thick paint. The top had seen better days so I made a new one using reclaimed tongue & groove flooring from Wisconsin. Base was beefed up to accommodate new metal feet. Drawer fronts have reclaimed oak added to the front. All new hardware top it off. Refinished in a mix of General Finishes Snow White and Antique White. Sealed in a flat finish." - Elm Street Designs
"These end tables were completely sanded down, primed and painted in General Finishes Alabaster Milk Paint.

The body was painted using my favorite Brushable White Enamel by General Finishes. New black hardware complete this transformation!" - Nap Time Furniture Creations
"Isn't she lovely? This beauty turned out far better than even I was imagining. It took a few repairs, a whole lotta shellac, and more coats of paint than I cared to count. But, oh, was she worth it.
She was completely sanded down, using Varathane Dark Walnut stain on the top, the legs, and upper drawer front. Her body was paint in General Finishes Antique White, it is THE perfect creamy white. She was then sealed in High Performance Topcoat in a satin finish and all the hardware was rubbed...

"Totally craving a latte and some dark chocolate when i look at this combo of General Finishes Linen Milk Paint and Java Gel Stain! This big triple dresser got a desperately needed fresh look with new modern hardware.
I told my client at first that I was hesitant to refinish the veneer top because of some damage to it, but I’m so glad she asked me twice! I got over my fear of sanding veneer for fear of burning through it down to the MDF and it did NOT disappoint! So glad i did it! Look at...

As the final touch I cleaned and painted the existing hardware matte black and sealed it in a matte top coat." - Upcycling by Amy
"This Drexel dry bar is such a cutie!! I love that it’s not too big but it still makes a statement. Also, the top expands so if you need more room it’s perfect!

"These absolutely adorable Provincial child's chairs are the best things my eyes have fallen in love with! Everything about them is just pure!

"Finished up both of these beauties just in time for the holiday weekend. I always love the classic simplicity of General Finishes Antique White." - Blu Soul Design
"I love the fresh clean lines on this piece with the exposed wood. I originally had the dark line lighter like the top drawer but I thought it would add some interest to darken it. Plus I am practical and if this were to be used in a bedroom I like the idea of it matching a dresser that’s either light or dark. Matchy but not too matchy, you know? This piece was painted in General Finishes Antique White and finished with wax." - Bayberry Moon

"Have you ever been to the French countryside? No? Me either. Nonetheless, that was my inspiration for this chest. The victorian style brass handles and curves combined with the ultra distress finish gives it all the cozy, cottage feels. Fresh flowers, plush throws, old books, baskets full of freshly baked bread...it all belongs here! The ultra distressed finish gives the feel of it being a few hundred years old and truly worn."

"This mid century modern dresser needed a little update from the orange-y stain it had before. After a good sanding, I primed it and painted it in General Finishes Linen on the outside and Snow White on the drawer fronts. I also chose to keep it really mono chromatic with new white ceramic knobs from D. Lawless Hardware!!
"Full of rustic charm, this dresser painted in General Finishes Alabaster, distressed with new antique gold cup handles, and sealed with GF Enduro, would make the perfect buffet in a farmhouse decor or a sweet changing table in a nursery."

"I refinished this cabinet for Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity ReStore for their Repurpose for a Reason event. This will be auctioned off for one of their biggest fundraisers of the year. I have donated for the past few years now. I stripped the drawer fronts, then tapped off a design and sprayed with General Finishes Antique White. A new top was added and left natural and new knobs from Hobby Lobby complete the look."
"Always such an amazing feeling when someone hands me a family heirloom that needs to be updated and restored! So we together created a new look! The top, rests and front medallion were all sanded down to the original veneer and wood. I needed to color match the rests with Honey stain because the woods were different. The remainder of the piece was painted in General Finishes Antique White and then accented with brown wax to add an aged look." - Steener's Attic Refinished, Repurposed

"This vintage farmhouse style maple hutch is STUNNING! The top was sanded and stained a beautiful light brown and protected to show the gorgeous maple wood. The body was painted in a gorgeous Antique White from General Finishes. The back of the hutch top was sanded and stained as well to contrast the antique white. Vintage farmhouse images decoupaged on the inside doors. This piece would be stunning in any room!"

"This vintage Stanley 6 foot coffee table and end table set were completely made over from top to bottom. I stripped the old finish off of the tops and stained with Minwax Rustic Mahogany gel stain. Gel stain is a great alternative to my normal oil based stain when trying to match three table tops that want to stain completely different colors. It’s thicker and can be manipulated to get a closer match. The bases were painted in a custom mix of General Finishes Antique White with a tiny amount...
