"Bench we made from a cute antique twin headboard. The framing was made from the side rails and the seat is tongue and groove cedar. It even has it's original wood casters. I mixed Patina Green, Snow White and a little bit of Coastal Blue for the base color then added straight Coastal Blue while the base coat was wet to blend the colors and get the light and dark contrast. Love how this turned out. You have a great product." - Sweet Blossom Chic
"Holy moly I don't know why I waited so long to do this sweet little piece! I'm in love with the combo of the original wood stain and General Finishes Coastal Blue Milk Paint. I chose to not distress this at all and seal with flat out flat for a very clean look." - Airdire Furniture Revival

I should acknowledge that General Finishes products are made here in the United States." - Vintage Soul Barn

"Classy, elegant and sophisticated are just a few words to describe this table... The table was painted with General Finishes Milk Paint in Coastal Blue which is a deep, rich navy blue. The feet were dipped in gold for an added special touch. The hardware was beautiful and I was happy I could keep them; all they needed was a good cleaning to make them shine.

When you paint (perfect) lines on furniture, it really doubles the time of your work, but the time it takes can be well worth it.
