General Finishes

I have used General Finishes Queensland Gray Milk Paint on may projects but this one is special, for may reasons.  I love this deep, rich gray.  It really seems to elevate anything it touches.  I chose it for this  old antique oak dresser I picked up that looked as though it had been through The War.  To me it was a decidedly masculin piece and the oak took this color beautifully.  I pained the dresser in two coats of the Milk Paint and then lighty sanded the body to reveal the heavy grain than only oak has.

This particular morning as I was sitting out on our porch at 6:30 enjoying the early morning light and my coffee I thought I might as well just go through my paint cabinet and see exactly what I had in that little rat hole:) I had recently accuried a small dresser that I really wanted a special color for.  I started by picking these three General Finishes paints, two Chalk Paints and one Milk Paint and then I went and found a sheet of white paper. This is how I do it every single time.  I just dip a fingertip in to one color and paint a small circle in that color on to the white paper.
