It’s my second one and I’m kicking myself for not keeping it. This big baby was painted in General Finishes sultry Lamp Black, definitely one of my faves."

"One of my favorite things is when a client gives me an inspiration picture for the furniture she wants me to makeover. It was fun to layer all the colors to get just the right depth and texture for this entry table. I used General Finishes paint in Perfect Gray, Queenstown Gray, Snow White, Seagull Gray, mixed a few combinations in between, and did a subtle white wash over it all. I love how it turned out!

"This beauty is ready to go home! Isn’t it gorgeous?! This piece was refinished using a custom mix of Coastal Blue and Snow White Milk Paints from General Finishes. Absolutely love the way it turned out!"
"Most of you know my tastes tend to lean more modern with straight lines. However, I have so much respect for curvy furniture because I know how hard it is to make. These curvy gals are stunning Drexel pieces from the 1960s. They are in phenomenal shape, so well made and with their modern update I hope they will be loved for a long time. Hope you're having a great day. ❤️" - Boxwood & Brass

"Need to brighten your day? Literally? Well here ya go!
This amazing Stanley faux bamboo tall cabinet/dresser got a super fun makeover and is headed to its new home this afternoon! The body was painted in General Finishes Blue Moon Milk Paint and the inside shelving was painted in the color Patina Green. Hardware was left untouched and totally original for some vintage character."
"I think this one goes down in the books for epic before/after. I ended up popping off the drawer fronts and was left with THE most fabulous old wood. I bought site unseen and almost dragged it to the curb when I brought it home :/ GF Gel Stain rub down :) ✔ THAT off the list!"
This look was achieved with General Finishes Candlelite and Java Gel Stains and Pitch Black Glaze Effects to give a deeper black tone to top and sides.
We unearthed Jemma from a basement as an old workbench- and found that she was quite possibly the end cap to an old general store counter.
After stripping the top, we figured she would make a KILLER mobile kitchen work station....
So a little Strip, a little sand, a little prime, a little paint and Shiplap, and finishes, and wheels and pulls, and OMG!!! ... this turned into WAY more work and supplies than I thought.
But VOILA~!!!!
We have an absolutely AMAZING...

This beautiful mid century modern dresser was manufactured by West Michigan Furniture Co. right here in Holland! I found this in the attic of a home that was being torn down, I am so glad I was able to rescue it.
The top and drawer fronts were stained in General Finishs Antique walnut gel stain and the remainder of the body painted in lamp black, one of my favorite colors combinations. New more current hardware was added to complete this transformation.
"I’ve had this Bassett chest in my inventory for a long time.
I knew I was going to paint it while stuck at home during quarantine but ironically a client messaged me and asked me to paint it for her. Funny how things work out.
This one was painted in General Finishes Patina Green - a vibrant teal. The hardware is vintage gold. The client loves some color and I appreciate the bold, fun choice!"

"This custom piece turned out so pretty!
Do you like to mix colors to make something new or do you keep it simple and use colors as-is?
I'm a lover of mixing and making something new!
This is two parts General Finishes Coastal Blue and 1 part Argentine Pearl Effects. It creates the perfect shimmer."
"Just completely revived this antique piece! Who thought that these dusty heirlooms of the past could be such treasures of the present?! The original plan for this dresser was to paint the body and to stain the drawers, but we saw so much more potential. By simply painting it in dark GF Lamp Black Milk Paint, adding a subtle stencil trim, and finishing with a complimentary stain, it made this floral technique sing."
"This stunning mid century desk got a head-turning makeover using a custom blend of 2 parts Coral Crush and 1 part Persimmon. I topped it all with HPTC in gloss!"

His body is a custom light gray color mixed with General Finishes Empire Gray and Snow White and slight distressing. The drawers have been rebuilt, painted in GF Queenstown and now function perfectly with updated matte black hardware. The top is in stained in a layer of Minwax weathered oak followed...

"Who remembers this Antique dresser & nightstand? We had posted this set a few months ago and a client, a designer reached out to have us customize them for her daughters room.

And this folks is a perfect example why I L❤️VE and why I’m obsessed with white. Forever timeless, Forever classic. Can’t wait to see them in the room once it’s finished! General Finishes...
