"I loved the unique style and shape of this chest of drawers, but I was not a fan of the traditional pecan finish. So I decided to strip and sand it down to the bare wood before staining it in a new ebony dark finish. I used General Finishes water based wood stain in the shade “Tobacco” and finished it off with new antique brass hardware." - Rhett’s Refinishes
This unique vintage dresser was refinished in an olive green, distressed and black waxed. The original hardware was waxed in an antique bronze with black and highlighted with white gold.
The top was lightly sanded, stained with General Finishes Tobacco stain and top coated.

This wood was stained in General Finishes Tobacco Water Based Stain and was accented in Cherry wood around the edges to make it pop. I think that’s my favorite detail that Bill snuck in there, and I also love the subtle name. Nice and organized!" - Sweet VanJoy

"This piece is GREEN with envy! This cabinet was my Granny and Gramps from my dad's side of the family aka my OWN family heirloom. It was in ROUGH shape from years of use. Missing veneer pieces, piece of the ornate feet had fallen off over the years and the top had multiple water rings. Lastly, the cabinet door was cracked and would no longer hold the screws in the hinges. It may have been in a sad state but it was DEFINITELY worth saving.
I gave it a VERY good sanding and cleaning. Then I...

Stunning hand applied three dimensional raised floral finish added to all 6 drawer fronts with an antique wash of General Finishes Lamp Black on the floral followed by slight hand rubbing of GF Black Gel Stain to "age" and deepen some areas to allow the beautiful wood tones to show through."
I mixed a little GF Graystone waterbased stain with Tobacco to lighten it a smidge on this piece. The paint on this piece is GF’s Brushable White Enamel.
