I added a little glaze in Van Dyke Brown by General Finishes to add some dimension and you know I had to distress a curve here and an edge there! I just love the glamour with a twist of rustic." - Newbac Designs

Fantastic transformation by ReLoved by Maja Komasa! This hutch was painted in a custom mix of Coastal Blue, Persian Blue and Driftwood Milk Paint.

 

This Oak dresser was given this shabby chic cottage look using Seagull Gray on the base of the piece and driftwood on the drawers.  After sealing the whole thing with Enduro clear poly we got the sander out and let it do the rest.  I loved the way it turned out.  We finished it off with one more coat of Flat out Flat and added the rope pulls to really give it the shabby farmhouse look we were going for!

"Empire furniture has ALWAYS been a favorite of mine so I was so happy when my client asked me to give this piece a facelift! We started by stripping off layers of paint taking her down to the bare wood so that her new finish would be silky smooth. We stained her top in General Finishes Antique Walnut Gel Stain and topped her with layers of HPTC for that glossy shine. Her body was painted in creamy Antique White Poly for a smooth satin finish." - Twig & Thyme Design
