"What a difference a new paint and stain color can make! This set was painted Lamp Black by General Finishes and the table top was stripped and stained in
GF Whitewash Water Based Stain. A winning combination!" - Flipping Unbelievable
"Another classic charm is ready to leave the nest. Meet Mallory! Black and gold never gets old…and when wood tones get in the mix you’ve got a recipe for timeless elegance. This three drawer serpentine chest boasts interesting wood grain veneer and colonial style straight lines. After a full sand, I stained the top and drawer fronts with General Finishes water-based Antique Brown and sealed with their HPTC in semi-gloss. The trim and base was painted in Dixie Belle Paint Company Caviar and...
"Adorable antique chest sanded to raw wood, refinished in a soft antique white and paired with bleached drawers that got a soft weathered stain. New champagne/crystal like handles give this beauty the perfect farmhouse glam. This gal is definitely old and has all her tweaks and character but doesn't stop her from being a show stopper." - Heavenly Chic Refinishing
Products: General Finishes Graystone Water Based Stain and Enduro White Poly
"MCM 4 drawer dresser. All General Finishes products used on this project. Lamp Black Milk Paint on the case. Antique Brown Water Based stain on the top and drawers. Satin top coat on everything." - The Furniture Fix

"Closet/wardrobe in maple stained with General Finishes water based Pecan. A couple goals of this was to try to match the existing bamboo hamper color and to make sure the hamper would fit inside. I made it in sections to maximize inside dimensions vs tilting one tall cabinet which would have cost about 3” in usable height." - Flannel & Sawdust

"I am personally very familiar with the orange ok look that was so popular in the 90s. It’s a very durable wood though, and can last forever so changing it up is a good option!

"My client didn’t even recognize his table at first when he saw a picture after it was refinished!
Painted table bases and stained tops for tables is my favorite color combination.
I painted the base in General Finishes Lamp Black and the top was stained in Whitewash Water Based Stain diluted with water for more of a subtle look. Everything was sealed with High Performance Topcoat in satin for durability." - Flipping Unbelievable

"My client convinced me to leave the drawers stained, even though there were a lot of chips in the veneer. I’m glad she did, because I love the wood grain! I did my best to fill in any missing veneer and match to the wood tones, then stained in General Finishes Antique Oak Water Based Stain. The rest was painted Coastal Blue Milk Paint." - Flipping Unbelievable

This is water-based Walnut stain on Alder with 3 coats High Performance Topcoat Satin sprayed using the $15 Harbor Freight HVLP.

The drawer boxes were Baltic birch, drawer faces were alder ply and solid alder frames.

"It’s very common for my clients to want their existing table refinished, but to the same color it was before “but in new condition”. I still do the same pre work, clean and then strip but then I do my best to color match usually with mixing stains together. This was done in a mix of General Finishes Onyx and Walnut Water Based Stain. The table looks like it did when they first bought it!" - Flipping Unbelievable

Delivered these beautiful chairs this morning. I can’t get over the richness of the wood with stain from General Finishes.
I am in awe of how gorgeous this dresser turned out!
It is marvelous how painting and staining a piece can give it new life and bring it back to the modern world. My client knew that she wanted to keep the top unpainted and we decided to stain the insides of the middle drawers to match the top and give it some contrast as well as accentuate the angles of the piece. She decided to go with the color Mink by...
Created with General Finishes water based dye stains in Pewter & Blue and Water Based Stain in Onyx & Walnut.
I love the way General Finishes Graphite stain turned out on this display case. It also has adjustable shelves with room to add another if needed! Another new type of build in the books! I love being able to take a clients design in their head, put it on paper and bring it into existence!
My client brought me this table that he grew up eating at. It was passed down and with its new life it is ready for another generation!
