Susan of Saw Nail and Paint inspires us with this gorgeous vintage chest.
"For the base coat I used General Finishes Chalk Style Paint in Key West Blue. It’s a really pretty blue green; perfect for the coastal inspired theme. I mixed in the paint additive Saltwash and used a brush to stipple on the mixture. It’s messy, but no worries because your brush cleans up with soap and water. I knocked down the peaks and let it dry. I added a 50/50 mixture of the Key West Blue and a pure...

"This set of end tables doesn't match in the traditional way...but since when are we traditional?! Two gorgeous and unique-in-their-own-way side tables perfect for a smaller living area or bedroom. They were painted by Casey Page in General Finishes Chalk Style Paint in Key West Blue and glazed in brown." - Boutique Unique

"Had a little paint therapy last week and gave this desk a boho makeover! I used about 6-7 different GF Milk Paint & Chalk Style Paint colors (starting with Persimmon) and finished off with FOF (Flat Out Flat Topcoat). It sold before the last layer of topcoat was dry. I mixed and layered colors and started with Persimmon as the base. Used a little Klein Blue, Corinth Blue, Lime Green, Coastal Blue (Milk Paints), Fjord Blue, Key West Blue & Charleton Blue (Chalk Style Paints) and maybe...
Loving this fun and dramatic makeover from Saw Nail and Paint!
"I applied 3 coats of a custom mix of General Finishes Antique White and Snow White to the entire dresser. I let it dry for a day and then applied a really fun scalloped design Shape Tape to the bottom. Once dry, I applied 3 coats of another custom paint mix to the bottom. I added a small amount of General Finishes Key West Blue Chalk Style Paint to the existing custom white paint until I had a pale watery blue green shade....

"This solid oak table and chairs was found on the side of the road by my Man Friend, who smartly loaded it up! The set has hints of General Finishes Basil Milk Paint & Bayberry Chalk Style Paint peeking through a finish of General Finishes Antique White, thanks to Saltwash texture! Sealed with High Performance Flat Topcoat, this adorable addition can be found at Lush•Paint Designs located in Flipping Fabulous" - Karie Bogart

"Super in love with this beauty! She has a General Finishes Bayberry Green (Chalk Style Paint) base and I Love Salt Wash to give depth & texture, with a top coat of custom greige Lush•Paint.

Can't get enough of this makeover from Art is Beauty!
Karin of Art is Beauty says " I chose General Finishes Charleton Blue (Chalk Style Paint) for the base of the table and the chairs. I had picked up this pretty fabric for another project and I just loved it and the color went with it perfectly. I painted the base of the table and the chairs and recovered the seats. I can't believe what a difference painting those old beat up ugly chairs made. They had been sitting in my garage for...

DeDe of Designed Decor is GF's April 2016 Blogger of the Month and she created this amazingly beautiful decoupaged wallpaper dresser!

This was the first time I used the Gel TopCoat sealer and I really like how easy it was to use. I will be using it again. I covered over the stained top and sprayed the dresser using General Finishes Chalk Style Paint in Black Pepper. Once...

Gorgeous transformation from Curb Alert! {blog} with General Finishes French Vanilla Chalk Style Paint! Tami of Curb Alert says, "I painted the chair upholstery and cording with three coats of paint, allowing them to dry 24 hours between each coat. Best tip that helped me out tremendously was to spray my brush with water from a spray bottle before every time I dipped my brush into the paint and then applied thin coats to the fabric. This ensures that the paint soaks into the fabric rather...

Absolutely loving this GF Midnight Blue Chalk Style Paint cabinet from Cupcakes and Crowbars! Dee of Cupcakes and Crowbars says, "I LOVE this cabinet now, and am so glad I didn’t banish it to the yard sale realm. If I had, I wouldn’t have had the chance to try out General Finishes Chalk Style Paint – which, in case you’re wondering, goes on like butter. It isn’t gritty. It isn’t clumpy or weird. It’s really, really good. It took me two coats on the bulk of the cabinet to get perfect coverage...
"For the body of this dresser, I painted it in Slate Gray Chalk Style Paint. I’ve used quite a few brands of “chalk paint” before, and I definitely liked the General Finishes version. It’s a little less thick than others, which I actually prefer, and it went on super smooth. The finish also seems stronger than other chalk paints, so I left it as-is for now. I may decide later to add some furniture wax or flat acrylic, but I’d like to see how it hold ups up without a finish. I think this is...
"Confession: I’ve never used chalk paint before. I’ve used milk paint extensively, both in powdered form and General Finishes Milk paint (not a a “true” milk paint, but fabulous nonetheless!), latex, and oil.
So clearly, I’m not unfamiliar with various paint applications, but chalk paint was uncharted territory. Since I’m nothing if not honest, I didn’t love the Fjord Blue color–it was far more purple than I anticipated; however, one of the great things about General Finishes Chalk Paints and...

Recreated Designs says, "I began by giving the bookcase two coats of the General Finishes Chalk Style Paint in Key West Blue.

The back was painted in GF's Snow White Milk Paint with stripes highlighted with diluted Key West Blue Chalk Style Paint. "I couldn’t be happier with the gorgeous finish I was able to achieve with the...
