"This is a beautiful Franklin Shockey piece made in the 50s. Someone had painted it a light green and it was roughhh. I sanded the drawer raw then stained it in General Finishes Nutmeg Gel Stain. The body was painted in Lamp Black and sealed."
"These little oak dressers are one of my favorites to renew! The body was painted in General Finishes Lamp Black while the top and drawers were stained in a custom blend of Antique Walnut and Java Gel Stains, the two pair perfectly together! New modern farmhouse iron hardware and ticking stripe drawer liners complete this transformation and have given this beauty a second life!"
"This mid century modern dresser needed a little update from the orange-y stain it had before. After a good sanding, I primed it and painted it in General Finishes Linen on the outside and Snow White on the drawer fronts. I also chose to keep it really mono chromatic with new white ceramic knobs from D. Lawless Hardware!!

"This table tested me in many ways but I am always up for a challenge and the end result was beyond worth it. This table was well loved throughout the years, passed down from mother to daughter. The inlay was severely warped and damaged particle board but overall this piece had really good bones. I removed the particle board and built the stunning poplar herringbone inlay. Painted in General Finishes Driftwood and stained in Varathane Dark Walnut, lightly distressed, and sealed, with beautiful...
"This beautiful buffet has been sitting in my storage unit for years waiting for the right owner to come along and take it home. And I’m so glad that someone else saw the potential in this piece!

I sanded it all down, burned it a bit and then clear coated it with General Finishes Arm-R-Seal. Next the base was painted with General Finishes Perfect Gray then lightly distressed and glazed and sealed. The drawer face was sanded and sealed like the top then I added Waverly Fabric and D. Lawless Hardware Oiled Bronze Cup Pull."
"Completely Refinished Vintage Solid Wood Desk. This piece which included the top and all the drawers was completely sanded down. I did burn the top and drawers to help accentuate that amazing wood grain (still trying to figure out the species of wood...). Several coats of polyurethane were applied to provide a well protected work surface. The remainder of the piece was hand painted with General Finishes Queenstown Gray. This unique color almost reminds me of slate which pulls in both blues and...

A new top was added and left natural and new knobs from Hobby Lobby complete the look."
"Always such an amazing feeling when someone hands me a family heirloom that needs to be updated and restored! So we together created a new look!

The remainder of the piece was painted in General Finishes Antique White and then accented with brown wax to add an aged look." - Steener's Attic Refinished, Repurposed

"I found myself choosing General Finishes Tuscan Red again...such a beautiful color which is rich, deep and amazing. Originally my plan had been to keep the veneer intact on this Vintage Art Deco Nightstand but unfortunately the repair wasn’t working. I was able to save the door's beautiful veneer so I first sanded it then added the stencil above and below to create a division between the two wood grains. The exterior was painted in the Tuscan Red and I added black wax to deepen the color....
"This vintage Jacobean style credenza is gorgeous! Painted in Perfect Gray Milk Paint by General Finishes. I used combination of weathered wood and walnut stains for the cabinet accent panels, drawer fronts and top. Everything was distressed and then I used a Hemp Furniture Oil and finally, Furniture Wax by Annie Sloan on the entire piece. Honestly, the cabinet panels and drawer fronts look like worn leather in person...it is absolutely gorgeous! The entire piece has a time worn, rustic,...
