We LOVE a good cabinet transformation and this one is beautiful! These dark stained cabinets were primed with BIN to stop bleed through of the red cherry stain. The stunning island was lightened up with a custom mix of GF's Snow White and Linen milk paints. After sand distressing they were moderately glazed in GF's Van Dyke brown. The main cabinets just rock in GF Driftwood milk paint. These too were sand distressed and glazed in GF Van Dyke brown. Everything was sealed in GF HPTC in Satin. Chunky ORB hardware just complimented the style of this kitchen. 

Love the look of galvanized metal? Me too! Hate the old one color built in vanity sinks? Me too!  Love stepping outside of the box? Me too! So I did on my bathroom vanity! I wanted the look of a galvanized tub and an update to my vanity countertop. So I pulled out all the stops and chose an array of GF products for this project - Countertops: lamp black, linen, driftwood and Seagull milk paints, van dyke brown glaze, black glaze, HPTC in Satin. 

Can we paint countertops? Why yes we can! This outdated laminate countertop started out an off white with a bit of a lavender hue. After priming with BIN, many GF products transformed this countertop into an updated version of faux granite! A time consuming technique using water along with GF milk paints in Linen, Millstone, and Lamp Black along with black and Van Dyke Brown glaze made this countertop go from boring to stunning. It was all sealed with HPTC in Gloss. What a gorgeous look for a fraction of the cost!

We are crushing on the new look of this updated gorgeous kitchen!  Besides new wall color, lighting and countertops, the finishing touch was updating the honey oak cabinets with GF products! The main cabinets were painted in GF milk paint in Linen. These were lightly distressed and then glazed in Van Dyke Brown. Driftwood milk paint on the island drew out the gray in the countertops and pulled the kitchen together. A finish of HPTC in Flat helped complete this gorgeous remodel. What a stunning transformation for this sweet family's kitchen!

With the help of General Finishes products we helped our customer take her newly acquired lake home from dark and drab to completely light and fab!  A custom mix of Snow White and Antique White milk paints on the top cabinets helped to brighten the way for the bottom cabinets to stand out in a custom mix of Coastal Blue and Persian Milk paints. The customer requested a clean "factory finish" look, which was completed with High Performance Top Coat in Satin.

This ornate entry table just begged for a special touch to bring out all the details!  A custom mix of GF persimmon and coral crush Milk paints on the body were complimented by a mix of dark chocolate milk paint, and bronze and copper pearl effects on the top. After this stunning mix was painted on the top and dried, then copper pearl effects were dry brushed along the top and edges. After a heavy glaze of Van Dyke brown in the ornate details, then copper pearl effects were added along the highlights of the details. We think this stunning piece says, "welcome to our home".

Who doesn't love a good nautical theme? This wonderful French Provincial chest of drawers needed an overhaul for a grandson's nautical themed bedroom, so we started by removing the "girlie" features of this style. General Finishes Holiday Red milk paint was the perfect color for a statement piece in this room.  The holes from the original pulls were filled to accommodate the custom hand-painted knobs the customer wanted. Finished off with General Finishes high performance top coat in satin, it's ready to set sail!

This sweet old rocker just lacked that invitation to "sit a spell". A good clean up, a little sanding, and the magic of Saltwash combined with General Finishes Klein Blue milk paint gave this tired little rocker that country chic feel it was craving! We think everyone should enjoy some front porch time in a rocker like this!

This sweet sideboard was coated in nicotine and grime, which was hiding the  potential of her charm. After a thorough cleaning a custom mix of Driftwood Gray, Millstone and Seagull Gray completed the main body. The drawers were painted in Millstone and highlighted with a feathering of Van Dyke Brown glaze around the edges. The top, middle drawers and side accents were stained with gel stain in the color of Java. HP topcoat in satin sealed her beauty.
