This cute Drexel end table was sanded and painted Antique White and the two tabletop surfaces were dry brushed with various shades of gray, white, and sienna brown.

I finished up with several layers of GF HP Topcoat...

Cassie says, "I then applied 3 coats of General Finishes Emerald Milk Paint. I want to note that I did not prime this piece.

Oh, how I am loving this piece!! This takes me right back to Grandma and Grandpa's house!! Midcentury Modern Awesomeness!! It was pretty much a no-brainer deciding how to handle this one. I wanted it clean, and I wanted it simple. I had to preserve the look of the wood grain on the front, so I went with my go-to stain which is General Finishes Java Gel Stain. I used that on the cabinet doors and fronts of the drawers. The body of the dresser and the handles of the cabinet doors and drawers...

Check out this crazy little table!! This sturdy, unique table was built by hand by someone long ago. It's definitely not "fine" furniture... no, whoever built this was not bothered by the details, I think it was meant merely to "function", and I LOVE IT!! I left the top and the trim on the drawers alone. The color of the stain is perfectly rustic, and the finish is in great shape, I merely added a little color. Since the piece seemed masculine in nature, I went with the best Navy Blue out there...
My plan all along was to make this table top look like an old business sign. It turned out better than I could have ever expected.

Jen's Furniture Rehab says, "This curvaceous little beauty was pretty rough to start, but is there anything General Finishes Java Gel and Milk Paint can't fix? I've yet to find a lost cause! I sanded the top to bare and gave it two coats of Gel Stain, and the base is freshened up with a couple coats of Linen Milk Paint. I opted for the clean look, and applied multiple coats of HP Flat Top Coat. I had the hardware lying around, and since this piece was missing a few pulls, I figured these...

I love the way it turned out!"

Saw Nail and Paint did a great job refinishing this night stand! Saw, Nail and Paint first went with a latex based paint but was unhappy with the results.

I sanded the night stands to a smooth finish and painted them with my favorite paint – General Finishes. The color is called Persian Blue and I think it suits these night stands...
