"Painted in my favorite Lamp Black from General Finishes and Snow White interior. This cabinet is perfect for that modern farmhouse feel!"
"This color is so good... and I’m pretty sure I couldn’t replicate it if I tried! It’s General Finishes Lamp Black, Emerald, Basil, and Coastal Blue... equal parts(ish)! The hardware felt perfect left it’s original gold... and the curved drawers... well they just speak for themselves!"
General Finishes Dark Chocolate for the win!! We have refurbished this little side table for our client and it was a great way to give a special piece new life. ❤️"

"Oh my gosh, I am so excited this piece is finally done!! It needed a lot of work, but it's such a gorgeous and quality piece that it was worth it. Mahogany may be a real pain to work with, but the quality is amazing. The top was sanded down and brought back to life, the base needed lots of patching, sanding and I had to create a piece of missing trim. I patched and drilled new holes for the updated hardware, removed the green felt from the two small drawers and added fun paper instead. All in...
sanded down, the top was left raw and sealed, the body was painted in General Finishes Lamp Black and sealed for protection as well."

The color, size, and design of this antique dresser makes it an ideal piece for any decor. The back is also painted so this piece can go against a wall or stand on its own.
For the body I used General Finishes Queenstown Gray, it’s a very smooth, deep charcoal grey. I absolutely love it!! I then lightly distressed along the edges, and...

"This one is a keeper! My husband got this record cabinet for free from a friend. After removing the old door and speaker sections, I added two new doors from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore and painted everything in General Finishes Queenstown Gray. The top was stripped and sealed to reveal a gorgeous wood grain.
This will hold my dad’s record collection which I recently inherited, so has special meaning to me. Lots of records will be played on this piece, as it was originally...
Beautiful dresser painted in General Finishes Queenstown Gray and lightly coated with black wax for added characteristics."
When I first saw this piece it was painted in a dirty yellow color but I loved the idea of it being yellow so much that I decided to paint it in a fresh coat of Harvest Yellow milk paint it is definitely a new favorite for me!
I also added a beautiful design on the drawers to add a little more character then sealed it in matte top coat for protection!

All sealed in a beautiful flat finish for the perfect soft glow."

"This absolutely stunning buffet is all refreshed and ready for a new home. This lovely lady had great bones but was in desperate need of a face lift. The veneer on top was chipping away so I removed it completely and sanded the wood underneath. Gave it a fresh coat of General Finishes Antique Walnut Gel Stain, I also did the same to the lower section of this piece. The rest was painted in General Finishes Reverent Gray. The stained areas were sealed with GF High Performance Topcoat, and...
"Curved drawers on this Bassett mid century dresser needed something special and unique. General Finishes White Gel Stain gave them a modern whitewash look. Surrounded by an Alabaster Milk painted frame, accented with gold handles and feet creates a simply elegant design."
"You don't always have to create an opaque full coverage look with General Finishes Milk Paint! Take this antique VanSciver hutch for example.
The wood was too beautiful to completely cover up, so I applied a few thin layers of Lamp Black Milk Paint and wiped away the excess. The effect allows the wood to still peek through while providing a new and updated finish."
This commissioned piece was so much fun! She came together really nicely and turned out better than I imagined!
My client wanted something fun that coordinated with a blue desk she currently has in her bedroom so I went with General Finishes milk paint in China Blue. It’s such a rich, gorgeous color!

"The Lauren. A secretary with the IT factor! Softly and sweetly brought back to a beautiful life in General Finishes Antique White, with a warm aging glaze and High Performance Flat Finish. Insides had the old lacquer stripped down to bare wood and sealed in my favorite Arm-R-Seal. She took a good amount of time to rebuild those spindled legs, but I definitely think she was worth the wait!
Salvaged as much original hardware as she came with, and improvised on the rest!"
"It’s amazing what some fresh paint and stain can do for a really tired finish on a piece of furniture! This table was purchased in 1934 at a Stickley furniture store by my clients great grandmother for her daughter and husband, his grandma and grandpa, as a wedding gift.

"Talk about a before-and-after! This rock maple server had good bones and excellent construction. The only problem it has was a dated finish and even more dated hardware. To solve that, I painted it with Coastal Blue Milk Paint by General Finishes and glazed it with Pitch Black Glaze Effects. After adding some oil rubbed bronze cup pulls, it had a new lease on life!"
Use Dark Chocolate Milk Paint by General Finishes to get the look of stain on surfaces that don’t stain well. This baby Jacobean Buffet had a Tulip Poplar top, which does not take stain well. I found a way around that using 2 coats of Dark Chocolate and 2 coats of High Performance Topcoat in Satin.

"This piece was made between 1871 and 1900 because of the beautiful Knapp Joints on the drawers (those cute little scalloped joints in the second pic.) Knapp joints were only used for this short period of time in history. So that would make it between 120-149 years old! How cool is that?!
It is made from all solid Walnut with the exception of the burl veneer on the drawers and door front. I just couldn’t paint this beauty! It was missing it’s top so I made a new wood plank top painted...
