The shell of this dresser was wiped with Java gel to shoe the wood grain and intentionally unevenly stained. The drawers were decoupaged with a poster that was cut to fit. Entire piece was top coated with General Finishes High Performance flat.New drawer pulls were put on to finish the look.

This bedroom set was finished using General Finishes milk paint in Lamp Black. I used wax as a resist in areas I wanted a worn look. Complete set was top coated with General Finishes High Performance in flat.

The 2 end tables were first painted with a DIY dark gray chalk paint. The 2 chairs were painted with DIY medium gray. Then they all were dry brushed with metallic silver and glazed with General Finishes lamp black mixed with glazing medium. . All were then finished with General Finishes High Performance in Satin. The cushions were upholstered in a gray/ white design fabric.

Soooo many techniques were used on this. I used many colors of DIY chalk paints and texture medium along with crackle medium. I also used General Finishes milk paint in lamp black in a few areas to add a "dirty" aged appearance. After I was happy with the overall look I used a homemade glaze in burnt umber. The top of the dresser is done in golden pine General Finishes gel stain. From top to bottom it's sealed with General Finishes High Performance in flat.
