"Another custom piece in the books!! When my client found this piece it was covered in thick, drippy, brushstrokes and you could scratch the paint off with your nail. We opted to strip this baby down to the bare wood and start from a clean slate. We were asked to mix up a blue to match a rug that’s going in my clients beach house and we nailed it with this custom General Finishes color we’ve named Cornflower Blue!"

3rd Place Winner - MCM Makeover - 2017 GF Design Challenge
For this lovely Oak writing bureau I decided to use Coastal Blue over the whole piece and seal with High Performance Top Coat to give it an overall deep blue sheen. The interior was restained with a light oak stain to contrast with the exteriors deep blue. This piece was heavily carved on the exterior so it would have been easy to get carried away with the gilding, but I decided to focus only on the central carving running across the centre, and also gild the edging of the pull down.

I really wanted this china cabinet to have a wow factor, and to make it more modern. The coastal blue milk paint is one of my favorite colors, and paired with the paper backing, it really upped it's game!
Staging Winner of 2017 GF Design Challenge
This was a piece I'd previously painted but it just wasn't selling and I'm a firm believer that if at first you don't succeed, try again! Pieces can be reinvented time and time again, no finish is forever.
I started with a base of GF Coastal Blue. Then used my custom mix(Patina Green, Coastal Blue, Antique White and Halcyon Blue) together with Seagull Grey to create a faux finish. I'd already added the mouldings for the previous finish so just had to put some gold leaf on...
This boring sofa table was transformed into a stunning piece of art! Using GF Seagul Gray on the entire base, followed with the product SALTWASH for texture. I then added a custom Turquoise mix on the drawer fronts, followed with GF Coastal Blue. To pull it all together I created drips with metallic silver, Turquoise and GF Coastal Blue. Truly an amazing piece of functional art for the home. One can't help but to dream of the ocean when looking at this piece.

Absolutely stunning dresser in GF Coastal Blue Milk Paint and flat High Performance Topcoat by Hailey Duncan Home.
"When I was asked to transform these Mid Century nightstands I was excited and a tad bit nervous because if you follow my work, you'll know this is a first for me! I was given the freedom to come up with an original design with the only guideline being that there were pops of navy and yellow to match the decor in the room. It was definitely a little tricky but so much FUN! I think this will be a first of many unique MCM pieces to come. The nightstands were painted in my favorite dark navy,...
Belle Maison completed this dashing dresser with GF Coastal Blue Milk Paint.
