Perfect Gray by General Finishes… bright and modern
"The original plan for this dresser was to strip it down and leave it natural. But after it was stripped my client didn’t love the bare wood. We then decided to go black, and it’s always a classic, safe color. This is Lamp Black by General Finishes and it’s a true black color." - Flipping Unbelievable

"I’ve been working on this antique dresser with my subscribers over the last couple of weeks. They watched as I stripped a drawer to see how it might look with a natural finish, looked through a book of French designs for inspo and helped me decide on a finish. I scrubbed the entire thing down, fixed all three drawers so that they slide well again, reattached the top where the boards had warped up and finally painted with the wipe back treatment. This is a solid and heavy piece and was...

The before and after simply speaks for itself There were a MILLION little nail holes and exposed sunken screw heads in its construction...which all had to have 2 rounds of filling and sanding.

The botanical paper backing, addition of petite beaded trim and...

"We took this kitchen islands from dated brown to something brighter and more modern using General Finishes Perfect Gray Milk Paint!"
"Antique Oak Harlequin table. My initial plan for this OLD piece was to strip down and do a natural paint wash. Unfortunately years of being used as a plant stand took its toll. If you don't know... water causes black staining to oak. Because of the grain it's impossible to reverse. So... Plan B. It had to be unique and a little piece of art. Now finished in General Finishes Linen and Lamp Black Milk Paint. I've given a time worn Harlequin pattern to the top and an antique wash to give a...

Nothing is ever simple...
I've spent a week working on the 100+ year old white Italian marble.
Although still a faint shadow...a million times improvement.
These pieces have had a life, a journey and sometimes there's a "hiccup" along the way.
The mark was left from the original wood top piece that sat on the marble for years. (It was NOT an attractive top piece and the mirror was too far gone to save BUT those items are safely stored to be reincarnated at a future time)
