General Finishes Champagne Pearl Effects

 

General Finishes Tawny Pearl Effects

After months of searching for the perfect book cabinet and not finding anything I loved, I finally decided to order a custom unfinished piece. Fenton MacLaren's in Berkeley, CA made this alder bookcase for me and I was beyond excited to finish it! I used a combination of Seagull Gray and Persian Blue to create a beautiful color to match my living room. I then used Champagne Pearl mixed with Clear Base Glaze Effects to add a bit of shimmer. The whole piece was topped with High Performance Top...

My journey for my inspiration began with a newspaper article I read about Louis XVI King of France, but more interestingly his wife Marie Antionette the Queen of exquisite taste.  She amassed artworks of extraordinary opulence and beauty.  Particularly her furniture collection, the extravagant life of Queen Marie is surrounded by elegant French furniture and fabrics, very beautiful designs that are still prevalent today. 

So I dedicate my entry piece to one of the most trend setting...

This ole gal was so sad and missing a mirror. With lots of luck one was found and now "Isn't  she Lovely"❤The entire thing was cleaned and old finish sanded off the top. Vanity and mirror painted in General Finishes Driftwood then white washed in in pure white and wiped off but left in crevices. Then the bling begins!!! Foil adhesive applied randomly on edges, legs and designs so that the silver leaf looks like it is peeling off. Amazing!!!!

Drawers lined in gray velvet  , a surprise...

This vintage French Provincial triple dresser was chosen out of our current inventory and customized for a client using General Finishes Seagull Gray Milk Paint with detail glazing in Argentine Pearl.

Love the way it turned out!!" - Painted Paradise - Antiques, Vintage, and Repurposed Furniture

"Vintage wardrobe painted in a custom mix of General Finishes Patina Green and Snow White Milk Paint. Patina Green and Klein Blue Milk Paints were then mixed with Champagne Pearl Effects and blended.

"The piece is made completely from salvaged dock timbers from a Coast Guard station; it is dense yellow pine. After cleaning decades of salt, oil, and grime off the wood, I left the surface in its natural state to show it's beautifully weathered and rugged profile." - Tobias Olsen of Cascade Pacific Woodworks   The following products to were to refinish this lovely project: Java Gel Stain, High Performance Topcoat, Driftwood Milk Paint, Argentine and Tawny Pearl Effects.

This piece is a real head turner in GF Copper Pearl Effects, Pitch Black Glaze Effects and Lamp Black Milk Paint.   "Wow!!! Even I was amazed to see this piece all done and through my camera, to see all the details that make this piece so special... This is a client owned piece, that belonged to her grandmother, with such a cool story behind its use over the years and how you could tell it's a beloved piece for her.I hold a lot of pride in that fact that they entrusted me to bring it back...

"Persian Blue Milk Paint from General Finishes was a great choice for this classic piece. The hardware is painted with Driftwood Milk Paint and Pearl Effects in Argentine Pearl as a nod to old pewter." - Gravity Hill Furnishings

"This gorgeous piece marries a traditional shape with a unique "melted copper" modern rustic look, perfect for adding visual interest to any space! General Finishes Coastal Blue is the perfect deep navy, and the Copper Pearl Effects are offset by a rubbed gold look on the metal hardware for a totally chic and stunning design." - For Love of the Paint
