Loving this grain sack stripe bench by Farm Fresh Homestead! I started out by sanding the wood (the wood portion is all one piece that comes off the metal legs). Then I painted the wood white (General Finishes Antique White) and used tape to make my stripes and painted with charcoal (Americana Décor Relic). For the metal legs I just spray painted with Rustoluem gray. I used two coats of color and one coat of clear lacquer. In one evening I had a “brand new” bench!
Theresa of House of Krafts shared this beauty. I just finished this piece- I stained the top in Antique Walnut Gel Stain, and painted it in Sherwin Williams Narragansett Navy" and GF Antique White Milk Paint- sealed the top with Arm-R-Seal satin and the base in HPTC flat. Love how it turned out!"

The Old Blue Chair of Leighton, IA was commissioned to create a memorial piece. " We decided on this bench we made from an antique bed -- painted with General Finishes Milk Paint in Coastal Blue and Snow White. Tim from Red Rock Signworks cut a vinyl stencil that we used to paint perfect lettering. It was very lightly distressed and sealed for durability, perfect for their high-traffic showroom where it sits!" What a great way to remember a dear friend.
The color is a custom blend using General Finishes Antique White, Millstone, and a little ASCP in Coco. After painting and distressing I sealed with General Finishes top coat, then added a little dark wax and aging dust around the carvings. The top is stained in a walnut stain. This is a very beautiful statement piece with subtle colors. Thanks for sharing Buttercup's Painted Cottage Looks fantastic!

Revolutionaries refinished this dresser with a two tone look. The top was casing was painted with GF Antique White Milk Paint. After the first coat of paint, I had a little bit of bleed through in some areas, so I sealed it with the High Performance Top Coat, sanded very lightly, and then did another coat of paint. Basically it seals in the stains so they don't peek through the paint.

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 two piece hutch is a wonderful piece of hand wrought awesomeness!! It's not from any factory!

It screamed French Country" to me, so I went full on shabby chic with General Finishes Milk Paint in Antique...

"About a month ago we had the opportunity to get the wood, doors, etc out of a house on my grandparent's farm before they tore it down. There was a door to the one bedroom in the house.

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...
