General Finishes

This sweet little dresser was in dire need of rehabbing. I removed two layers of warped veneer from the top. The whole piece was thoroughly cleaned and I applied Vaseline to create the chippy distressed effect. The piece was painted in General Finishes Empire Gray Chalk Paint and GF Antique White Milk Paint. The dresser was then distressed and glazed with General Finishes Van Dyke Brown Glaze. I love the natural look of the distressing. The whole piece (including the raw wood top) was sealed with GF High Performance Poly in a Flat finish. In rural Indiana country chic is very popular.

   General Finishes Milk Paint just isn't for furniture anymore! I tested the waters in revamping our little retro camper. The camper was first sanded, primed, and thoroughly cleaned. The whole camper has been painted with General Finishes Milk Paint inside and out. The color I am focusing on here is the teal color. This color was achieved by mixing two parts GF Persian Blue Milk Paint to one part Patina Green Milk Paint. The white was done in GF Snow White Milk Paint and the red stripe was a 50:50 ratio of GF Holiday Red and Brick Red Milk Paints.
