Lamp Black

"These end tables were straight out of the 90’s until I got my hands on them! I absolutely love their clean lines and solid oak construction. They have been transformed with General Finishes Lamp Black giving them the perfect modern finish. I also replaced the dated beveled glass, with flat clear-cut glass. They are truly so gorgeous and would work in any home or office!"

"These ornate buffets are my favorite furniture pieces to paint and it’s been a while since I’ve painted one of these so it was a fun project to refinish! We wanted to keep the design pretty neutral so I chose to paint it General Finishes Lamp Black and stripped the wood on the top and legs to give them a beautiful natural look then sealed it all up in satin top coat!" - NB.Restorations    
I have been waiting for just the right piece to do a deep emerald green on and once I got this sideboard home, I knew this was the piece!! When I found this mahogany beauty, the top was in horrible shape and there was no key to unlock the door. The owner said it had been years since they had the key but I knew we could remove the back and figure it out from there and I hoped for a treasure inside. Once we removed the back and got everything opened, all that was in there was a penny and a...
