Absolutely stunning buffet by Julie McDowell - Design Artist!
"To say this was a labour of love would be an understatement. I have hand embossed every surface of this beast. I used different stencils and used Durhams Wood Putty to create a very flat raised stencil. It was then sanded down to make it very smooth but still raised. General Finishes Holiday Red as my base coat, GF Pearl Effects in Burnished and GF Van Dyke Glaze applied without a top coat on the pearl. Three coats of GF...

We refinished it using 2 coats of General Finishes Holiday red and 1 coat of Lamp Black. The whole piece was slightly distressed to show the red coming through the black paint. It was finished in a beautiful smooth matte poly for the best protection! It will surly be a statement piece in its new space!! ❤️." - Painted Paradise, by Duke...

"Here she is! So much better! You’d never know all that veneer was missing! Here’s the answer to a lot of your questions...I custom mixed General Finishes Persian Blue, Emerald, and Antique White.

Absolutely lovely dresser in GF Antique White Milk Paint by Kenzie Lynn Designs.
What Sweet Pea lacks in stature, she makes up in character and details. Our goal was to finish this beauty while also honoring her age and beauty.
This rare antique chest of drawers was finished by lightly sanding the burl wood drawer fronts and turned legs and painting the body in Antique White. Slight distressing was added & polyurethane applied over the entire piece.

"I’d been saving my Holiday Red for awhile. It’s a very intimidating color. But I’m glad I waited for the right piece. Accented with Burnished Pearl Effects, and shaded/aged with Pitch Black Glaze. It brought my vision (a luxurious piece tucked away in the attic of a castle) to life.
I LOVE these products. I have many other brands at my disposal, and most within a quick drive, but GF is worth the time and gas. Thank you for making such awesome products!" - Vantique Junktion
