Milk Paint

"This antique beauty has a rustic, warm feel. The drawer fronts were stripped of their veneer to reveal the beautiful solid wood underneath and stained with General Finishes Antique Walnut Gel Stain. The top was sanded and stained to show the walnut grain. General Finishes Milk Paint in Lamp Black enhances the sides and front casing. 5 dovetailed, solid wood drawers, for all your storage needs. The original hardware was enhanced with Spanish copper gilding wax. This is a very unique and...

Used Snow White on the inside and then did a blending on the outside with Snow White, Seagull Gray, and a mix of Seagull and black. Once the blending was complete I went over all of the lines and details with antique glaze from Valspar and the hardware was updated in silver Rub N Buff. The milk paint was really easy and smooth to use and the finish came out perfect." - Red Tulip Design

"When I found this octagonal table it had a factory finish dark stain and an odd amount of knobs along the apron/skirt. I had a vision of it in a light gray color, so I picked "Seagull Gray" by General Finishes. 

"Every store I go into lately is filled with bright and colorful boho chic decor! I was inspired to search my inventory and find a piece I could transform using these beautiful colors I was seeing. This detailed solid wood end table stood out to me right away as the perfect candidate. I first painted this table in General Finishes Patina Green and followed with a color wash in Coral Crush, a beautiful combination with the original hardware painted gold.

"This beautiful girl is 100% GF products! Linen Milk Paint and a custom blend of gel stains... Black, Nutmeg and Antique Walnut. And of course HPTC in Satin to protect her new finish. Why not just use Java for a deep rich color? Because these older veneers love to pull red and that’s not the look I designed for my client.
