Tara of Modern Vintage shared this stunning "stormy" slate restyle! She used a custom mix of Coastal Blue and Driftwood Milk Paints accented with Pitch Black Glaze on this divine dresser. "Call it Stormy Monday... The color that is! This is kind of like a slate, but a little deeper blue/gray mix with some subtle highlights. This dresser has so many interesting details that it was the perfect playground for my new favorite color and technique." Test out some antiquing, distressing & aging...
Shannon from Refurbished by Sweet Threepeats says, "To get this look we used General Finishes Coastal Blue and the top was stained with Minwax Special Walnut. Those old knobs had to go and drawers were lined with a classic pattern. The transformation here was HUGE!"

Dignified is the right word for this darling solid wood desk, restyled by Rehab to Fab! "I decided to use my trusty Java Gel Stain from General Finishes on the top, drawers, & feet.

I wiped on 'Arm-R-Seal' (Top Coat) with several coats to give it durability. I must say, this desk looks and feels dignified." GF Tip: All stains need a top coat,...

"I've been on a search for the perfect navy blue. It seems that all the colors I have tried are either too blue or too purple for my tastes. I like my navy to have more black in it and very little red. Sounds complicated, and maybe it is! Either way, my search is over!" -Rachel
