"You can never go wrong with a black piece of furniture. It is such a rich, classic color choice. I painted this vintage cherry wood dresser in Lamp Black by General Finishes. The top was sanded to bare wood and again, Lamp Black was used as a color wash. The natural tones from the cherry wood mixed with the black created the beautiful wood toned top.
An all natural furniture salve called Board & Boot by Melange Artisan Mineral Paintswas used to seal the paint as we as condition the...

This 1954 Davis Cabinet Co corner cabinet was the perfect candidate for a French Country design with its twist pillars and soft curves in the base. To create this looks we used

"Trust me when I say this old Victorian era rocker had seen better days. The wicker was unraveling in areas, it looked as if a dog chewed the rockers. The fabric on the spring loaded cushion was hideous. The old white paint was dingy and dirty and chipping off. It was a hot mess. Do I have a before photo? No. No I do not. You have to take my word, it was a hot mess!
I patched the dog chews, glued the unraveling. Reupholstered the seat and painted it in Lamp Black by General Finishes and...

"I took this plain, wood filing cabinet and spiffed it up a bit. I wanted it to have an industrial look. I used General Finishes Lamp Black to paint the trim and hardware and dry brush the body. The front is a transfer by Re·design with Prima called Industrial Mechanics (blueprint). Everything was sealed with a flat top coat. The final addition was adding new legs." - REmade
"This piece came to me as quite a mess... the wallpaper inside the hutch would have been a big hurdle on its own but include that with the 5 layers of paint underneath it, the random can lid that was permanently adhered inside the lower cabinet and the tacks on almost every shelf under all the paint.
I didn't really know what I was getting into but I got into it pretty darn quick. It took over two weeks of sanding, peeling wallpaper, scraping chemicals off on repeat to get it to a point that...
"After some good old fashioned demo I repaired the nail holes and missing veneer and sanded them all down. I also filled in the old handle holes for the lower drawers. I painted them in General Finishes Lamp Black and sealed them in the High Performance Topcoat. Finally, added the new brushed gold handles and they are ready to shine in their new home!" - Upcycling by Amy
"Bassett 9 drawer dresser/media console. The top was laminate which I’m not ever a fan of so I planked it with lathe wood, did a flood coat of ebony filler, then sanded & stained in dark walnut. I cut the base off and added black metal feet. Refinished in General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint." - Elm Street Designs
"What a special piece for me! This was a sweet little find and I was super excited to transform this beauty!! This cabinet was completely stripped and sanded. The original wood details were top coated with polyurethane for added protection and the remaining wood was refinished in General Finishes Lamp Black, distressed and black waxed. The interior was also completely sanded and sealed in polyurethane." - Estrella Design

Have I told you how much I love chartreuse??
This old girl needed a refresh! She was solid structurally but looked tired. Once I got the old finish off the top, I knew that I wanted to keep it wood. And I loved the wood details on the top drawer so that just had to be wood as well. I tried taping off the details fifty ways to Sunday to protect them from the paint but I just ended up with a lot of wasted tape. I remembered when I first started this business, people were using Vaseline as a...
"When classic black meets deep woodgrain it’s always a perfect match. This small chest is handmade from solid oak by a local furniture maker. I love the simplicity of this piece and the clean lines throughout. After painting the body, I decided it needed one element of exposed wood. I sanded back the toe kick and gave it a very subtle whitewash. I love how it made the grain just pop!
For this piece I used General Finishes Lamp Black and Alabaster for the wash. The entire piece is sealed with...

"I’m slowly coming around to black. Someone once told me that interior designers say that every room should have some black in it. Which is interesting to me because I always think every room should have some pink in it. Soooo, clearly I’m no interior designer. But I digress… This Empire style beauty was painted in General Finishes Lamp Black with delicate distressing. Then, two coats of GF High Performance Topcoat in Gloss toned with GF’s water based Ebony stain for more depth. And a final...
"Make a statement of excellence without saying a word! That’s exactly what this finished piece represents to me! I played around with a few staging options, but in the end I knew she could handle it on her own!
This gorgeous Sherrill Furniture tallboy was in fairly great shape when I bought it, with the exception of a broken foot. My client chose Lamp Black by General Finishes and it could not be more perfect on this piece! The updated glass knobs are just the icing on the cake " - Sincerely...
"Solid mahogany wood buffet. All I can say is WOW!! This piece is absolutely stunning. I sanded down all the doors, drawers and the top to reveal the gorgeous wood with a little accent piece around all the edges. Gave it all a fresh new coat of Antique Walnut Gel Stain a few coats of High Performance Topcoat. For the body I chose General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint." - Ray's Refurbishing
"When you’re a furniture refinisher, you have to buy pieces at a low cost in order to be able to put a sale price on it that allows you to earn some money for your work. I saw this buffet listed for sale, but the price was higher than I could do, plus, it was a good driving distance away. So, I scrolled on by. But THEN, I had a potential client contact me asking if I could refinish a buffet for her. That’s right, it was THIS buffet!!! She hadn’t purchased it yet, so we chatted about other...
