General Finishes

This gorgeous Eastlake style dresser quickly became one of my all-time favorite projects with a custom blend of General Finishes Milk and Chalk Style Paints with 2 parts Queenstown Gray Milk Paint, 4 parts Seagull Gray Milk Paint, and 3 parts Charleton Blue Chalk Style Paint. The resulting paint was smooth, creamy, and effortlessly beautiful! My favorite part of custom blends is that they tend to be chameleons - they can appear to take on different hues based on their lighting and other colors in their setting.

There's a reason gray is on trend! Stylish, chic, and sophisticated, this absolutely stunning Queen Anne style desk has a fresh new look and transitions perfectly from vintage to modern! General Finishes Antique Oak water based stain adds warmth and dimension with a natural look to the top grain, and Driftwood milk paint perfectly complements the graceful claw and ball foot details and serpentine drawers. Gentle distressing and gilded hardware revive the traditional piece and transition it to a versatile desk for a current home.

This gorgeous piece marries a traditional shape with a unique "melted copper" modern rustic look, perfect for adding visual interest to any space! Two coats of General Finishes Coastal Blue were applied for a classic allover navy, and the Copper Pearl Effects were brushed with an upward stroke to varied heights for maximum visual impact with tons of dimension. Coastal Blue milk paint is the perfect deep navy, and pairs beautifully with Copper Pearl.

With General Finishes Queenstown Gray Milk Paint and Modern Masters Matte Metallics in Gold Rush, this piece really came alive! Two allover coats of Queenstown Gray milk paint gave the desk a classic, timeless update with a gorgeous smooth finish. We then used a map silhouette and traced the outline of the continents with graphite, then began to outline with gold. I worked with a small detail brush, walking around the desk so that I could approach the lines with the paint, pushing it right up to the edges away from me for maximum visibility and control.

This absolutely stunning cedar chest has the most beautiful carved details, that we knew *had* to be highlighted! The recesses were allowed to stand out with gently dry brushed layers of Linen milk paint. Gentle distressing for a naturally antiqued effect lends a classic touch to this charming piece. The top has been refinished with Walnut water based stain to accent the cedar grain for a perfectly cottage chic contrast, making this a beautiful farmhouse inspired treasure!

This vintage dresser is an absolute stunner! Its French Provincial curves are timeless and gorgeous, and the color was updated for a modern farmhouse style of chic that is an instant classic! The top has been refinished in a "driftwood" style with layers and blends of General Finishes Walnut and Weathered Gray water based stains, and the body painted with Antique White milk paint and thoughtfully distressed. The hardware was updated with a silver leafing wax for a gorgeous antiqued look. This style is versatile, timeless, and oh-so-fresh and gorgeous!

This chest is an absolute beauty from the early 1900's. The drawers have a stunning tiger oak grain that made them the perfect candidate for dye stain, which penetrates the grain deeply and accents its unique patterns with an incredible depth of color. This exceptional wood grain was brought out with General Finishes dye stain in Medium Brown. The body was painted with a combination of Linen milk paint and Chapin Gray chalk style paint and distressed for a chippy, weathered look that contrasts gorgeously with the rich brown stain.
