"This was my very first time painting with a General Finishes white. It took three coats of the Antique White to cover this mahogany wardrobe. No bleeding!! The GF paint worked like a charm." - Southern Curated
This beauty was refinished with General Finishes Antique White Milk Paint.
"This beautiful coastal dining set was originally just an ordinary table and chairs. You know the type...orangey in color, out of style, ugly. The top of the table was removed and I cut down different widths of wood planks to fit. They were then sanded... and sanded some more. Next I stained using a combination of General Finishes stains. This combo is top secret, but I will reveal that Java, Brown Mahogany and Gray were used. This gives the wood an old, weathered look. I then dry...
"I’m finally done with my kitchen – just in time for Thanksgiving! I had already painted the bottom cabinets in General Finishes Milk Paint in the color Millstone. I decided to paint the top cabinets in their Antique White to lighten them up and give a bit of contrast. The General Finishes Antique White was a subtle change but it really makes quite a difference. I applied General Finishes Flat Out Flat topcoat for a durable finish." - Suzanne Bagheri - The Painted Drawer Collection...
"It's here! This set has taken me forever but I absolutely love it... Refinished with all premium products, which you notice I use this brand all the time because I love it.

"I've always had a passion for art and love transforming pieces into just that. Art. My 13 year old daughter picked out 4 colors. Yes, 4. lol Why wouldn't a 13 year old do anything less. I was able to transform this gorgeous antique chest of drawers into a beatufiul work of art for her on her 13th birthday. To say she LOVES it is an understatement. "

"This beautifully layered buffet was accomplished by using only General Finishes products. I created the base coat by mixing the farmhouse green color that consists of GF Milk Paint in Basil, Dark Chocolate, Emerald, and Linen. I then dry brushed on some Buttermilk Yellow. The last coat of paint was a 50/50 mixture of the farmouse green and Antique White. I used the vaseline method of distressing to achieve the chippy look and many...

"This buffet had layers of paint when I revieved it. LAYERS!!! You can see in the areas that are distressed the different colors. I painted it in Lamp Black and then Antique White. I like how you can see the drips and layers from the old paint in the areas I distressed. Inside is painted in GF Keywest Blue Chalk Style Paint. Applied finishing wax and buffed to a nice sheen."

"This bench was built using a vintage, mahogany headboard, barn wood, and trim that was removed from both an old house and a newer house... The barn wood seat was stained with an oil based stain that allowed the wear marks and old stains to show through, then was sealed with General Finishes High Performance Top Coat in Flat. The rest of the bench was painted with GF Milk Paint, Antique White, then distressed, to highlight the details, and then clear waxed." - Garage 9

Great two tone look from Nap-Time Creations with GF Antique White and Linen Milk Paint!
"I went with a 50:50 mix of General Finishes Snow White and Antique White Milk Paint. I first started with two coats of their new Stain Blocker (which I absolutely love, by the way). It sands nicely and covers beautifully. The sides and drawers only needed 4 coats of the custom mix. That may sound like a lot, but I sand in between each coat which does remove some of the paint. I like for my finishes to be silky smooth and have found sanding is the key to that process. The top, on the other...
