"Pair of Basset end tables.
These two tables came to me in great condition other then some scuffs and old spilled paint stains on top. So for this dynamic duo I sanded down the tops and gave them a fresh coat of General Finishes Antique Walnut Gel Stain. And for the body I painted then in GF China Blue. After they were all dried I gave them a good coat of dark wax to help protect them and keep away fingerprints. The tops were sealed in gf’s high performance top coat. Hardware was left original...
"These end tables were straight out of the 90’s until I got my hands on them! I absolutely love their clean lines and solid oak construction. They have been transformed with General Finishes Lamp Black giving them the perfect modern finish. I also replaced the dated beveled glass, with flat clear-cut glass. They are truly so gorgeous and would work in any home or office!"

"This Dixie beauty came to me legs practically falling off and wobbly, chipped, cracked, and needing love all the way down to the badly spray painted hardware. I knew there was still magic in her bones.
Painted in General Finishes Alabaster, the top, drawers, and legs were stripped and stained using Varathane Premium wood stain in the shade Golden Oak. I really love the look of the Re Design With Prima Folk II transfer over the wood drawers."

"These ornate buffets are my favorite furniture pieces to paint and it’s been a while since I’ve painted one of these so it was a fun project to refinish! We wanted to keep the design pretty neutral so I chose to paint it General Finishes Lamp Black and stripped the wood on the top and legs to give them a beautiful natural look then sealed it all up in satin top coat!" - NB.Restorations
I have been waiting for just the right piece to do a deep emerald green on and once I got this sideboard home, I knew this was the piece!!
When I found this mahogany beauty, the top was in horrible shape and there was no key to unlock the door. The owner said it had been years since they had the key but I knew we could remove the back and figure it out from there and I hoped for a treasure inside. Once we removed the back and got everything opened, all that was in there was a penny and a...
Talk about a transformation! This beautiful oak chest has been a sentimental piece to my clients family for the past several decades. Last refinished in the 70’s it was time for it to be given a new life and I think we nailed it!
The top and top three drawers were stained using a custom blend of antique walnut and Java gel stain while the body was painted in...

"Corner curio refinished in General Finishes Lamp Black for the win. The door has been stripped and waxed for a natural tone." - Sage Furnishings
We don't just refinish furniture, we transform it.
Being able to combine natural recycled rattan with true mid century craftsmanship is always a yes in our world. If you think this set looks familiar to you, you're right! The cane hutch we did a few months back is the mate to this set. I never thought I'd find another piece as classy as that hutch, and then I found this stunning (and MATCHING) set! The legs alone are classic mid century modern with a relaxed boho vibe.

"I love a good before and after! This was pretty gross beforehand, but it’s a solid wood, sturdy piece.
Stripped and sanded off the original cracked paint. Refinished in General Finishes Lamp Black. Interior done is a dark olive green. Added wood to the door front for an extra pop and stained in special walnut. New hardware throughout. The large handle on the door was salvaged from a barn in Wisconsin. (I’ve had it for 3 years but never found a good piece for it until now!)" - Elm Street...
"This set is one for the books! A beautiful handmade maple bedroom set slathered in a multitude of blue latex paint! My client has had this set in her family for many years and asked if I could restore it for her little girl. After spending some time talking with her and learning more about her Daughter, I eagerly suggested PINK! But not just any pink, General Finishes Ballet Pink! The softest, most subtle shade I have ever seen and been dying to use! It is a shade of pink that will grow...

•Klean Strip stripper for the raw wood accents

"I couldn’t resist naming this piece Valentina. There have been many requests for the color red lately. Must be people are looking to brighten their indoor spaces since we are lacking color outside! I’m a huge advocate for “coloring your home”! Valentina was painted in General Finishes Milk Paint in Tuscan Red. I used dark and black wax to give her a more worn in, shabby finish. These Hobby Lobby knobs and Buffalo plaid paper pop in the bottom cabinet are just right for this piece." - The...
