Indian furniture inspires me a lot. My quest for genuine cracks and chips has almost become an obsession.
I used milk paints from...
"This beautiful Eastlake wash stand dates between 1870-1890. For its age, it was in very good condition with only a few repairs. I used Minwax Classic Cherry stain for the top. The base was painted General Finishes Antique White (1 cup) and Buttermilk (1/8 cup) and finished everything with High Performance Topcoat in satin." - Newbac Designs
The cherry top was stripped and refinished in Minwax Classic Cherry. There was a very dark, thick stain on the top as well as horrible sanding swirls, so it was a challenge to remove the deep swirls and the stain that had soaked deep into the wood. The belt sander was my friend on this one!
The base is painted in a custom creamy white to match her dressers I did earlier this year. It’s...
"Gracefully Modern 'We Are Just Peachy' Farmhouse Dresser. Completely refinished W/ General Finishes Persimmon/Snow White/ and Buttermilk Yellow Milk Paint to make a custom peach color. Stained in Minwax Espresso. Sealed for protection" - Gracefully Modern
"Feeling inspired by late summer sunshine and sunflowers, this petite buffet is painted in a custom mix of Sunglow, Somerset Gold, Buttermilk Yellow Milk Paints, a few dashes of Van Dyke Brown Glaze Effecs and some dollops of Antique White Milk Paint. Glazed the paint with a little Pitch Black Glaze Effects and sealed with Clear Enduro Poly in Satin." - Gravity Hill Home

"I’m usually a gray and black person but for this piece I wanted a warm and fun color. Buttermilk Yellow Milk Paint was just the color for the job. I love it and it complements the decorative paper on the middle drawers perfectly." - KimG Design
"Bittersweet sending this table back home with its family. This is the work I love to do! Refinishing, restoration, restyling, and with a little modification! I have to thank my clients for putting all of their faith into my work and allowing me to make executive decisions where deemed necessary. It’s the greatest feeling when your client exudes all confidence in your craftsmanship and truly respects your opinion and advice. Though I’m always nervous when I return belongings to my clients, I...
"This Bassett Mid-century set is FANTASTIC & in such great condition. I used Fusion Mineral Paint Ultra Grip on the tops, because they were 50's slick (Ultra Grip is amazing).
The wood was darkened with General Finishes Java Gel Stain, & the drawers are a mix of Buttermilk Yellow & Somerset Gold, & the bottoms are a great gray mix of Seagull Gray & Persian Blue, all sealed with High Performance Satin." - Flipping Fabulous
"Loving this rustic buffet. It's a really great size! This yellow is a 1 to 1 mix of General Finishes Somerset Gold & Buttermilk Yellow. When I say 1 to 1... I mean 1 quart to 1 quart. It also has some GF French Vanilla Chalk Style Paint highlights." - Flipping Fabulous
These divine dressers by Brass Tacks Resale were painted in a custom Milk Paint mixture using 50/50 ratio of Persimmon and Coral Crush with a dash of Buttermilk Yellow Milk Paint. Sealed with High Performance Semi-Gloss.
"I first sanded entire piece then applied stain to top, painted doors and top drawer with GF Buttermilk Yellow milk paint. The Middle drawers were decoupaged with fabric and the top was hand painted to match the fabric on drawers using GF Evening Plum and assorted acrylic paints, applied three coats of GF Flat Out Flat top coat then applied Van Dyke Brown Glaze Effects to drawer, doors and over the hand painted design" - Julia Petrie
The following products were used to finish this...

"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...

Gorgeous vintage Henry Link Bali Hai set by Chris at Garage 9_! Chris shares, "The color? General Finishes Buttermilk! I love the color Jackie chose for the dresser set. I hadn't used that color before. When Jackie's parents came with their truck to pick everything up, I remarked what a happy color it was. Her mom, Susan, said it was funny that I used the word happy, because that was the same word Jackie had used to describe the color while she was looking at paint chips."

Nancy of 4 Heaven's Sake says, "This project turned out exactly how I envisioned! GORGEOUS! I didn't have enough of one color to complete this piece so I mixed equal parts of Antique White and Millstone, then 1/4 Basil and 1/4 Buttermilk. I then used High Performance Top Coat in flat and VanDykeBrown glaze over the entire piece. I can ALWAYS count on GF products! LOVE THEM!" Remember that GF's Glaze Effects always requires a top coat sealant! Great work, Nancy!
