"I absolutely love this gorgeous Mersman table that I recently refinished. But...I have no idea what to call this table...sofa table (too short?), foyer table (maybe?), Davenport table (I don't know what that is but it sounds fancy. LOL), console table (Winner winner chicken dinner?). Whatever YOU choose to call it will work for me. ;) The old stain was completely removed from the top, which was then stained with General Finishes Antique Walnut stain. The base was freshened up with Brown...

2:1 Halcyon Blue Milk Paint, Queenstown Gray Milk Paint
"Used three different General Finishes Milk Paint colors for this layered/distressed top. I used Halcyon Blue, Driftwood & Lamp Black, painting it on and also dry brushing multiple layers. The Tiger Oak had such amazing texture so I wet distressed it down all over which brought the grain back out. For the body I mixed General Finishes Glaze Effects, Pitch Black & Winter White to get just the right grey to get in all those amazing grooves throughout this piece. And the grey was a...

"I found Serena languishing in a local thrift store. She was built in my local area nearly 100 years ago. Her existing finish was alligator scaly and she was missing veneer in a lot of places. This is the second dresser I chose to tackle and I envisioned I could transform her back to glory with some paint and glaze.
I cleaned her, stripped her, patched her and sanded her, and she began to come back to life.
I chose to stain the top with a custom mix of antique walnut and...

"I'm sharing a custom table makeover I delivered to my client. She recently moved into a new home and while her gorgeous kitchen table fit nicely with her former space's decor, the warm medium oak color wasn't right for the new kitchen with the dark espresso wood floors. She wanted the table darker but still wanted to see the old finish peeking underneath so I refinished her table in two phases with General Finishes products. First by using Java Gel Stain (one coat applied in dry brush fashion...

Love this look by Vintage Amour of Bettendorf, IA! This perfectly imperfect early 20th Century chest of drawers features a custom blended milk paint from General Finishes in a medium gray. The gray is in between Driftwood and Seagull Gray and was achieved by blending Queenstown Gray and Snow White. The chest also features a distressed effect, using GF’s Pitch Black Glaze Effects for an added aged, shabby-chic look. It was then finished with a hand-rubbed wax for an antiqued patina.
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!
