I am just so ready for Spring and flowers and birds and color and NOMORESNOW!" See her post here!...
Saw Nail and Paint refurbished this darling dresser with a custom mix of Persimmon and Coral Crush Milk Paints!
Check out this crazy little table!! This sturdy, unique table was built by hand by someone long ago. It's definitely not "fine" furniture... no, whoever built this was not bothered by the details, I think it was meant merely to "function", and I LOVE IT!! I left the top and the trim on the drawers alone. The color of the stain is perfectly rustic, and the finish is in great shape, I merely added a little color. Since the piece seemed masculine in nature, I went with the best Navy Blue out there...
This stunning white and gold set is no illusion!
The Modern Cottage Company used a custom mixed color made by combining GF's Linen and Snow White Milk Paints.

Gorgeous buffet restyle by Amanda at Ferpie and Fray! We think Antique White Milk Paint paired with the pretty Spoonflower paper is absolutely perfect! Amanda says, "I am SO excited to share this one. She's painted in General Finishes Antique White, Anthropologie knobs and detailed with Spoonflower paper. I did a slight gold almost copper gold on the legs for a little extra shine."
We're so impressed by this stunning midcentury makeover by Trillium Park Designs! Details below. :) "It's always fun to rehab dated furniture, but it's especially rewarding when the piece starts out sad and worn and finds it's way to a shiny end. This little Goodwill chest had a nasty cigarette burn on the top and the drawer fronts were adorned with random patches of glitter glue. But other than these minor flaws, it was in good, solid shape. General Finishes Antique White Milk Paint was used...

Modern Vintage refinished this classic dresser in GF's Lamp Black Milk Paint!
Jen's Furniture Rehab says, "This curvaceous little beauty was pretty rough to start, but is there anything General Finishes Java Gel and Milk Paint can't fix? I've yet to find a lost cause! I sanded the top to bare and gave it two coats of Gel Stain, and the base is freshened up with a couple coats of Linen Milk Paint. I opted for the clean look, and applied multiple coats of HP Flat Top Coat. I had the hardware lying around, and since this piece was missing a few pulls, I figured these...

"The original hardware suited the piece, so we reused it but freshened it up with just a bit of antique gold metallic paint."
Saw Nail and Paint did a great job refinishing this night stand! Saw, Nail and Paint first went with a latex based paint but was unhappy with the results. It did not level well, left significant brush strokes, did not sand well between coats and had poor coverage. I decided to count my losses and just start over. I sanded the night stands to a smooth finish and painted them with my favorite paint – General Finishes. The color is called Persian Blue and I think it suits these night stands...
We love this table by TatteredGypsy! Evening Plum is perfect for a bold feminine pop of color. It turned this boring little table into a statement piece!
Angela of Number Fifty-Three gave this end table a bold and bright new look with General Finishes Holiday Red Milk Paint. I think the color completely transformed this table from something everyday to a bold statement piece that you take notice of.

Jen at Jen's Furniture Rehab turned this table into a rustic beauty with layers of Seagull Gray, Persian Blue, and Antique White Milk Paint with High Performance Topcoat! "I think my work this week might be telling me I need to bury my toes in a sandy beach somewhere! This solid oak console table has wonderful grain, so I thought I'd try something different. For the top, I layered Seagull Grey atop Persian Blue and sanded both colors back to expose that wood grain! I then added a good layer of...

Another piece done in beautiful Basil with an undercoat in Brick Red. Antiqued in Van Dyke Brown and top coated with Satin High Performance. The inside of the cabinet was left in the Brick Red alone which adds a wonderful contrast we think! Love these two colors together. - Reblessed, LLC

The Cornish Painted Furniture Company restyled this charming coffee table with Linen Milk Paint! "Sometimes all a piece of furniture needs is a bit of TLC. Loved the shape of this little old coffee table, with it's Dancette legs and beautiful wooden top. But it was very tired. Now, after sanding off the top, painting the legs with General Finishes' Linen Milk Paint, and varnishing all over to a lovely satin sheen, it's looking fabulous. Would look great in any modern home (including mine)!"
