Milk Paint

Complete bathroom overhaul, including a vanity transformation with GF Driftwood Milk Paint

Designs by Willows Farms gave this Drexel side table a fresh look with General Finishes Coastal Blue Milk Paint. Sealed with High Performance Topcoat Satin.

This stunning piece was completed by Katie & Co. Furniture Restorations - "dipped" in General Finishes Snow White Milk Paint.

"We had the privilege of refinishing this beautiful family-owned French Provincial desk for a client of ours. I love the richness of the General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint and the pop of gold on the pulls to bring it all together. Can't wait to see the fabric they chose for the chair! What a beauty!" - Painted Paradise, by Duke Interiors and Restoration

Check out this fabulous vintage, French provincial nightstand and dresser set by Redhead Refinishings! They comment, "The drawer fronts were hand sanded and stained in General Finishes Antique Walnut Gel Stain. The body was painted in GF Milk Paint 'Driftwood' and coated in their High Performance Satin Topcoat for durability."

"When I found the slightly bigger Henderon nightstand I knew it would make a perfect 'His & Hers' set of nightstands with the red campaign nightstand that I had recently redesigned. They have both been painted in General Finishes Holiday Red Milk Paint and lightly glazed in their amazing Pitch Black Glaze Effects to add depth and dimension. Sealed with multiple coats of semi gloss poly for protection..." - Lilly's Home Designs
