"Had a little paint therapy last week and gave this desk a boho makeover! I used about 6-7 different GF Milk Paint & Chalk Style Paint colors (starting with Persimmon) and finished off with FOF (Flat Out Flat Topcoat). It sold before the last layer of topcoat was dry. I mixed and layered colors and started with Persimmon as the base. Used a little Klein Blue, Corinth Blue, Lime Green, Coastal Blue (Milk Paints), Fjord Blue, Key West Blue & Charleton Blue (Chalk Style Paints) and maybe...
"Paint color is a custom mix of Snow White, Evening Plum & Klein Blue. I was going for more of a pale pink, but added too much blue and couldn't back my way out of it. :) love it though! Wish I had a baby girl for this piece." - Phoenix Restoration

Love mixing custom colors for a piece!! This buffet was refurbished using a mix of General Finishes Emerald, Coastal Blue and Klein Blue. The result was a beautiful peacock color that was on the green side of the fence. Distressing brought out the pretty golden wood tones underneath.

Loving this bright and bold look from Cassie at Primitive & Proper. I removed the hardware, and got to work sanding with my orbital sander and 180 grit paper. For the color, I didn’t have exactly what I wanted so I combined General Finishes Klein Blue and Patina Green and ended up coming up with something super similar to their Corinth Blue, a vibrant turquoise.
