Is it easier for you to watch a demonstration video rather than read a 'how-to' article? I agree! That is why I decided to share a video on transforming a dark, traditional side table into a beautiful piece for a coastal-vibed family room. Once I knew this family room would take on a beach theme, General Finishes Persian Blue Milk Paint was the first color that I thought to use. This soft blue is reminiscient of an ocean view with the sun shining down and reflecting off the beautiful and endless blue waters.

Furniture Painter & Designer at Isabella's Inspirations in Woodbridge, VA.
Hello! I wanted to share a bit about myself. My name is Emilie. Isabella is my middle name, hence the name Isabella's Inspirations. I am 17 and just finished my senior year of high school. I had been homeschooled since second grade. My business started just over a year ago, and I love every minute that I am able to spend designing, painting, and creating! I design rooms, shop for furniture and accessories for the rooms, and paint and stain furniture. My furniture pieces are custom work or pieces that I find and refresh. My creativity extends to makeup as well, and I love creating new looks and trying new products. I have a huge passion for swimming and have been on our local Lake Ridge Lancers swim team for 13 years. Thanks for reading about me, and I hope we can work together in the future to create something unique!

Rustic Elegance with Country Charm -- Tale of a Tasteful Table

The "Country Chic" style is increasingly popular! By using General Finishes products, it is easy to achieve this amazing look. I found a solid wood table with a matching bench at a local thrift store. The table top was scratched and stained with markers and paints. The bench and legs were painted with a now-faded forest green, a flashback to the 90's style in decor. I had a vision for this table and bench, and knew General Finishes products could help me transform these pieces from a thrift store tuck-away to a tasteful treasure.
