"Would you say I love black and wood tones or what?? Beautiful mid century 6 drawer dresser. This is super sturdy and cool. The body has been painted in General Finishes Lamp Black and sealed to protect. The drawer fronts were stripped and waxed and the top 2 drawers were taped off and painted for a fun pop." - Re-Luv'd Furniture

"Not enough hearts for this amazing set. The pairing of this amazing soft blush with the custom weathered gray plank top is just so pretty. This amazing vintage set, wearing it’s original hardware, was refinished with one of General Finishes new colors, Ballet Pink. And let me tell you, this is an amazing blush my friends." - Decor Restored

Distressed Farmhouse cabinet in Millstone Milk Paint

"So in love with this old map file cabinet! Skinny drawers for days! Painted in General Finishes Lamp Black, I gave it a nice light coat of Fusion Mineral Paint Hemp Oil, with Fusion's Stain and Finishing Oil in Cappuccino on the trim. A new rustic top with new castors add the perfect touch! The top is amazing, & the D. Lawless Hardware isn't too shabby either!" - Flipping Fabulous    

"Mid century cabinet! Hair pin legs were added to this and the body was painted in General Finishes Lamp Black. The doors were taped off with different colored striping. The whole piece is sealed for protection. I envision this being used for record storage or as a mini bar. Super cool piece that would make a great statement in your home." - Re-Luv'd Furniture

"Floral with a beachy vibe. ❤️ Painted in General Finishes Persian Blue and Snow White. The top is a wash of Millstone. A beautiful statement piece, yet not too loud or bold for those with a more neutral decor. " - Gravity Hill Home Furnishings

Absolutely beautiful bow front buffet makeover with General Finishes Reverent Gray Milk Paint by Art is Beauty    

Stripping this thrift-store find down to her bones, I rebuilt her to last another lifetime! Using General Finishes Weathered Grey on the entire piece, I brought out the beautiful wood grain she had hiding beneth the surface of her old garb. After allowing her to dry, I lightly sanded with a 400 grit to accent the wood grain further. To lighten the piece up even more, I used a mix of General FInishes Snow White and water to make my own white wash to place around her outside and edges, leaving...

"This fun little wash stand was painted for my mother In law using Blue Moon by General Finishes. This is one of their gorgeous new colors❤️ She wanted a simple pop of color for her living room and chose that adorable hardware! It will be the perfect addition to her room!" - Distress Reliever: Upcycled Furniture

This piece has been painted in General Finishes linen and then glazed in their van dyke brown glaze. The top has been planked, stained, and sealed to protect. There is one drawer which slides well, and one shelf for additional storage. A hole has been precut out of the backing for wiring. This is a super cute, solid piece that would work great for your TV. 

"What a difference some paint makes! The veneer was removed then finished with both General Finishes Driftwood Milk Paint and Java Gel Stain." - Paper Kite Creations    

"Got this plain Jane buffet (no offense to anyone named Jane!) for free. Completely stripped, sanded, cleaned and primed it (it's mahogany, so very necessary!). Added Efex appliques, painted with GF Blue Moon and glazed with Champagne Pearl Effects. GF Queenstown Gray on the top. Silver rub-n-buff on the appliques. Sprayed and lacquered the hardware. Interior is painted with GF Linen." - Stage Stop Designs

"Very rarely do I ever refinish anything for myself—but today I finally have a new dresser! Woohoo! Ain’t she a beaut? Check out the before pic as well. This mid century piece was sanded down, the legs were left bare and sealed, and the body was painted in my favorite ‘Lamp Black’ by General Finishes. What do you think of it?" - Re-Luv'd Furniture

"Perfect Gray by General Finishes justifies the name once again! In love with this color and the effect it has on this dresser. Sprayed with my Fuji Spray Hvlp gun for a flawless finish, and the brass hardware was polished to a beautiful finish thanks to Barkeeper’s Friend and some elbow grease." - Flipping Unbelievable of Green Bay, WI.

Absolutely gorgeous credenza in General Finishes NEW Perfect Gray Milk Paint.

These are one of my favorite projects to date. They were falling apart and needed a lot of loving. I fixed them up and stained/painted them to be the seating area in my studio. I love how they turned out! 

This coral vanity is ready for a girls room or the perfect addition to a reception. The handles have been replaced with gold knobs and the side drawers are lined with an elegant gold polka dot paper. 

Our return client lives in a modern rustic house on 5 acres. She has a keen eye for art and asked us to be creative. This was a painters dream! We found an inspiration piece and went to work. We hand painted GF Antique White using a crosshatch method. GF Brick Red and Somerset Gold were painted in meandering stripes. A wash of Antique White was used over the red. The hardware was sprayed in Rustoleum Black Spray Paint. 

"Finished up this custom piece this week. Love how it turned out. Painted in General Finishes Milk Paint Perfect Gray and Patina Green."

Farmhouse Nightstands is one of our highly requested furniture items to have in the shop! We have this pair currently available. They are larger than normal vintage nightstand sets so a great choice for those with the modern sized beds. Pairing General Finishes Empire Gray (on the top) with Alabaster White (on the base) is becoming my favorite farmhouse color combo. 

This vintage waterfall style desk/vanity has been painted in General Finishes Alabaster and heavy distressed. It has new card catalog style hardware.

"This beauty has been done in one of General Finishes new Milk Paint color called Empire Gray and glazed over with white to give a soft look. The top has been stained in General Finishes Java Gel Stain then sanded down to give that rustic wood look. Sealed for protection!" - PNW Beautiful Finishes

Unusual commode, simple, with interesting dimensions. In a narrow range of cold colors where blues and purples permeate each other. Layered applied General Finishes paint in Klein Blue, Royal Purple, Coastal Blue, Lime Green, Snow White. The shimmering metallic effect of Pearl Effect in gold and Brick Red was applied on the spot. Visible cracks and splinters add "years". The center is an energizing plum.

The look of this dresser makes my heart beat faster. Age-old, made of solid wood with elements of oak veneer. One of its kind, aged by multi-layered application of a whole range of mixed colors on the furniture, which gently penetrate each other creating an impression of being damaged by time. The inspiration for it was impressionist paintings trying to capture the fleeting moment and the sensual play of colors.

Incredible, one of a kind, full-color commode. Layers Painted with General Finishes milk paints, applied one by one in the following colors: Coastal Blue, Halcyon Blue, Klein Blue, Persimmon, Sunglow, Coral Crush, Linen. The rust effect is the color of Pearl Effects, Tawny. Handles adapted from the old dresser.

 

"The vibrancy of Blue Moon is so eye-catching and it was absolutely the right color choice for this antique piece." More details in link.

With all this color this free-spirit stops you in your tracks. With a General Finishes Coastal Blue base it is layered with a little help from Modern Masters Apple Green and Copper Penny. Let's lighten the Coastal just a bit with some Klein Blue that will help bring out those details. Wait, it's not quite finished yet, lets add some Artistic Painting Studio Copper foil to those pretty legs and hardware! Ahhhh, now let her go and watch her fly.

 

I loved the lines of this petite china cabinet but almost didn’t buy it. It was missing a glass panel and shelves and had a couple other things wrong with it. But my friend made me a good deal and challenged me to “make something cool”. Never one to shy away from a challenge, I loaded it in my car. It lingered in my studio for a long time before I knew what to do with it. Taking my cue from the architecture of the piece I decided an Indian inlay look was the way to go. Playing off the...

Her golden crown sits atop copper highlights in her hair. The Sea is a wash of watery blues and greens. She is Athena, queen of the Sea. 

This beautiful antique dresser was transformed using General Finishes Milk Paint in the color Persian Blue then finished with a Re-Design Transfer, glass knobs and clear wax. 

A 50/50 blend of General Finishes Linen and General Finishes Holiday Red, then I wet blended with Linen applying both the mix and the linen with the same brush.  The 50/50 blend was then placed in a water bottle with a 60/40 water to paint ratio, and I sprayed starting at the top of the dresser for some cool weathering and a drippy effect. General Finishes Driftwood was used for the top, I then sealed everything with with High Performance Topcoat in satin.  The IOD Transfer was applied, then...

General Finishes Queenstown Gray and Antique White milk paints were used to create this Chalky effect on this pretty chest of drawers.  I wet blended the colors during application and then added a little DIY Paint Kissing booth for a pop of color.  The top was painted in Antique White and glazed with a custom gray glaze.  The body of the dresser was sealed with General Finishes High Performance Topcoat in Satin.  Then the beautiful IOD Transfer was applied.  I sealed again with the HP Satin...

Working with transfers is becoming one of my favorite things to do.  This dresser was painted in Driftwood Gray for the base and Seagull Gray for the drawers. I stained the top in Java Gel.  I added the transfer to the front to take the piece to the next level. It came out perfectly. 

This piece is definitely in my top 3 of favorite pieces I have ever done.  The minute I picked up the dresser I knew I wanted to use a transfer on it.  I found the new colored transfers and fell in love with the design.  I painted the base in a deep gray, Queenstown Gray, painted the drawers in Seagull Gray, light enough to make the transfer pop.  The transfer was the crowning glory.  It looks perfect with the chosen colors.  After sanding the top I felt a stain was needed to show off the...

"This buffet painted with General Finishes Milk Paint color Blue Moon. We took it a few steps further to create a distressed look to match the current living room furniture. The top was left natural and it is stunning!!" - The Texasgypsy

"Another stunning custom piece. This one a Drexel from our inventory. The client had a vision of modern meets classic and I think this is it. We used General Finishes Driftwood and a custom mix of Seagull Gray and Snow White to create this master piece. Most of what we do is custom painting. We love working with our clients to turn furniture into works of art. If you are looking for that one of a kind statement piece, message us for details on how we can help." - The Charming Home
