This gorgeous Eastlake style dresser quickly became one of my all-time favorite projects with a custom blend of General Finishes Milk and Chalk Style Paints with 2 parts Queenstown Gray Milk Paint, 4 parts Seagull Gray Milk Paint, and 3 parts Charleton Blue Chalk Style Paint. The resulting paint was smooth, creamy, and effortlessly beautiful! My favorite part of custom blends is that they tend to be chameleons - they can appear to take on different hues based on their lighting and other...
This boring sofa table was transformed into a stunning piece of art! Using GF Seagul Gray on the entire base, followed with the product SALTWASH for texture. I then added a custom Turquoise mix on the drawer fronts, followed with GF Coastal Blue. To pull it all together I created drips with metallic silver, Turquoise and GF Coastal Blue. Truly an amazing piece of functional art for the home. One can't help but to dream of the ocean when looking at this piece.

This chest has been in my family for three generations and was built to stand the test of time. I refinished the exterior in lamp black milk paint and a deep blue with a black glaze that has brought new life and a refreshed style. I have left some of the decorative molded pieces in natural wood, adding a nice contrast to the black paint. The cedar interior remains unfinished and has that unmistakable fresh cedar fragrance.

"I sanded a cable spool table then painted it in Queenstown Gray and white wash wood stain both products of General Finishes. with a damp rag blending in colors. I then dry brushed to highlight areas. I applied a French transfer to the top and then sealed it in high performance top coat. I cut the foot out for storage in center of the table. I added another transfer to the door as well. I then used Flat out Flat and then High performance to seal it with. I added rollers to the bottom for...
"We took an old broken down Antique Armoire and transformed it into our favorite reNEWed piece thus far. The bones were there, along with the original coat hooks, drawer and drop down cabine, it just needed a little vision and work to make it into something special. The exterior was painted with General Finishes Millstone. Glazing & distressing was added to give a worn patina look. To add a little more character to the Nook we added reclaimed barnwood to the back. A new hanging wire...
"First of all I had sanded it and filled the gouges and scratches with putty. When dry I've applied two coats of Milk Paint in Seagull Gray. Sealed it with Flat out Flat.
I decided the piece needed some more color to go along with plain gray and picked this cute wrapping paper with triangles. I laid the wrapping paper over each panel inside to get an idea of what size to cut it down to.
Once I cut it out, I put a coat of decoupage glue on the wood panel, laid the paper on...

"When I was asked to transform these Mid Century nightstands I was excited and a tad bit nervous because if you follow my work, you'll know this is a first for me! I was given the freedom to come up with an original design with the only guideline being that there were pops of navy and yellow to match the decor in the room. It was definitely a little tricky but so much FUN! I think this will be a first of many unique MCM pieces to come. The nightstands were painted in my favorite dark navy,...
