Milk Paint

Brushes to Beauty astound us with this gorgeous dresser they refinished! They used Seagull Gray Milk Paint to create this stellar and classic look!

They elaborate their experience when creating the project, "What a wonderful example of small business/local love... This was purchased second-hand by a local business owner at Savvy Consignment, who gave them my card for refinishing, where I then purchased my wonderful General Finishes paint products, and will now be in the Cache Valley...

Katie & Co. Furniture Restorations share this bright and bold piece in Milk Paint and Chalk Style Paint!

Let's start the day with some color! 2nd Door On the Right went bold with this dresser by using multiple colors to create this coastal design!

The owner explains, "My bohemian-inspired dresser. I used three General Finishes colors on this solid wood French provincial piece: Klein Blue, Coral Crush and Patina Green Milk Paint. The body is layered in all three with areas of all colors coming through. The drawers are much bolder and the three center knobs really make this piece pop!"

Katie & Co. Furniture stun us once more with this lovely chest of drawers! They used Seagull Gray Milk Paint for the shell and added matching white knobs. For that extra "pop," they painted the insides of the drawers with Patina Green!
