Mary Beth's Place completed this gorgeous French Chair makeover. I painted it in General Finishes Antique White and added their Satin Top Coat to seal it. Then I added a little bit of detail in the lovely curves by adding General Finishes Pitch Black Glaze. When I add glaze to just the details, I use a small artist's brush and dab the glaze on a paper towel to control how much glaze is on the brush. A little goes a long way - I'll probably have this can of glaze for a very long time!
This is a dresser I just finished using Antique White on the body and Millstone on the drawers and HP top coat in flat. I had so many customers tell me this is their new favorite color combo! - Kamie of The French Door

This two piece hutch is a wonderful piece of hand wrought awesomeness!! It's not from any factory! The woman I acquired it from said it came from Pennsylvania, so it's possible that it could be Amish. Every bit of it is hand crafted. The doves in the drawers are large and rough and definitely carved by hand, and you can see this everywhere on the piece down to the curls on the toes! It screamed French Country" to me, so I went full on shabby chic with General Finishes Milk Paint in Antique...

This cute Drexel end table was sanded and painted Antique White and the two tabletop surfaces were dry brushed with various shades of gray, white, and sienna brown.

I finished up with several layers of GF HP Topcoat...

It wasn't just any regular door, it reminded me of a barn door. The door was covered in paint! We decided to turn that door into a table. I had thought all along that I was going to keep the...

Oh, how I am loving this piece!! This takes me right back to Grandma and Grandpa's house!! Midcentury Modern Awesomeness!! It was pretty much a no-brainer deciding how to handle this one. I wanted it clean, and I wanted it simple. I had to preserve the look of the wood grain on the front, so I went with my go-to stain which is General Finishes Java Gel Stain. I used that on the cabinet doors and fronts of the drawers. The body of the dresser and the handles of the cabinet doors and drawers...
