Clear Base

"Tell me this isn’t gorgeous!! This solid oak table was sanded down to raw wood and white washed using General Finishes Snow White Milk Paint mixed with Clear Glaze Effects and finished in Enduro Clear Poly! Absolutely stunning!" - Painted Paradise, by Duke Interiors and Restoration    

No question this is a beautiful buffet.  With great carvings and detail work.  And it has it's flaws; although quite minor and cosmetic.

After months of searching for the perfect book cabinet and not finding anything I loved, I finally decided to order a custom unfinished piece. Fenton MacLaren's in Berkeley, CA made this alder bookcase for me and I was beyond excited to finish it!

The whole piece was topped with High Performance Top...

Past Thymes Market refinished this metallic masterpiece using General Finishes Queenstown Gray Milk Paint topped with a custom mix of Dark Chocolate Milk Paint and Burnished Pearl Effects. A custom glaze was created by combining Lamp Black Milk Paint with Clear Glaze Base. The entire project was sealed with High Performance Top coat.

This sweet table was refinished by Nicole of Past Thymes Market using Driftwood Milk Paint as a base topped with Antique White and then Lamp Black Milk Paint glaze. Each glaze was made by mixing 50% Milk Paint to 50% Clear Glaze Base. The entire table was sealed for lasting protection using High Performance Flat.

Her husband used antique barn hardware to install it (the coat closet is behind the door). Ageing done with General Finishes Van Dyke Brown/Burnt Umber/Clear Glaze Effects (my favs)! - Diane of The Paint Factory_

Angela of Number Fifty-Three is giving a shoutout to her Greek heritage with a fun tutorial about worry beads. She also shows how to create a gorgeous glaze using our Corinth Blue Milk Paint! "I chose to glaze mine with an absolutely awesome product by General Finishes. They sell a clear glaze that you can alter to any color you want just by adding in a bit of paint. Opens up a whole knew world I tell you! When you use it on bare wood it creates this gorgeous, time worn stained appearance. I...
