The Old Blue Chair of Leighton, IA was commissioned to create a memorial piece. " We decided on this bench we made from an antique bed -- painted with General Finishes Milk Paint in Coastal Blue and Snow White. Tim from Red Rock Signworks cut a vinyl stencil that we used to paint perfect lettering. It was very lightly distressed and sealed for durability, perfect for their high-traffic showroom where it sits!" What a great way to remember a dear friend.
The color is a custom blend using General Finishes Antique White, Millstone, and a little ASCP in Coco. After painting and distressing I sealed with General Finishes top coat, then added a little dark wax and aging dust around the carvings. The top is stained in a walnut stain. This is a very beautiful statement piece with subtle colors. Thanks for sharing Buttercup's Painted Cottage Looks fantastic!

The body and top was painted in General Finishes Snow White, and the sides were painted in Antoinette (ASCP).

I used a measuring tape to determine the width of the stripes, taped off the stripe lines with Frog Tape, and then painted...

After the first coat of paint, I had a little bit of bleed through in some areas, so I sealed it with the High Performance Top Coat, sanded very lightly, and then did another coat of paint. Basically it seals in the stains so they don't peek through the paint.
I've been having a blast using General Finishes new Pearl Effects! I painted a base coat of Millstone(Milk Paint), distressed it down some, then brushed on Champagne Pearl Effects.

Of course my signature lace trim to finish it off. There are a pair of these and they are stunning!- Restored By Rachel

Mary Beth's Place completed this gorgeous French Chair makeover. I painted it in General Finishes Antique White and added their Satin Top Coat to seal it. Then I added a little bit of detail in the lovely curves by adding General Finishes Pitch Black Glaze. When I add glaze to just the details, I use a small artist's brush and dab the glaze on a paper towel to control how much glaze is on the brush. A little goes a long way - I'll probably have this can of glaze for a very long time!

A true trash to treasure project, I found this great wardrobe dresser at the local Goodwill store and knew it was exactly what my client was looking for for her baby girl's nursery.

The best! - crimson + oak designs of Manhattan Beach, CA.
