Awesome before and after from Team Sutton Designs_! After sanding off all the chipping paint, we a laid down 2 coats of General Finishes Enduro Sanding Sealer. I did this because no matter how much sanding we did, some areas where the veneer was removed was still rough and rugged. We essentially had to build a layer of sanding sealer to make a level surface for the paint. After the sealer had dried, I sprayed on 3 coats of General Finishes Milk Paint in Driftwood." I went over the detail...

This was a beast and I dreaded starting on her but once I did I couldn't stop. The only way to bring her back to life in my mind was to paint by hand.

This bench is a great transformation from the twin size headboard we started with! The bench turned out much differently than my original vision but I am so glad I chose to follow where it was leading me because I love the vintage feel to it! It was fun making the gussets and the arms to further enhance the feel of something your grandma might have had in her garden. I chose not to take the existing paint (very chippy!) off before beginning the work with General Finishes Basil Milk Paint. I...

Simple meets sophistication with this darling chest! Customizing furniture doesn't always have to be so unique and incredibly detailed. As much as I love getting to paint typography and graphics with multiple colors, I also love simplistic designs like this one! Because I knew this chest wouldn't compete with a lot of decor, I chose to really doll it up by adding some of our great farmhouse items. We painted this chest per customer's request in Antique White with a light layer of Van Dyke...
