General Finishes

This Plain Jane three-drawer chest on rollers was given new life and is no longer a wallflower!  The top was sanded down and stained with Minwax Dark Walnut.  The chest was painted with Behr Cottage White turned chalk paint and lightly distressed.  The original knobs were sprayed with Rustoleum spray paint in Oil Rubbed Bronze and added to the drawers were metal book plates also sprayed with Oil Rubbed Bronze.  The drawers were lined with trendy farmhouse fabric from Hobby Lobby.  

This jeweler's bench was a custom job.  The top and back trim was sanded down, given a coat of wood conditioner and stained with Minwax Dark Walnut.  The remainder of the piece was painted with Rustoleum flat black paint and heavily distressed, followed by General Finishes High Performance Top Coat Flat for long-lasting protection.

This Lane cedar chest was in great shape, but just needed a facelift to modernize it.  New feet were added as well as a new child safety lock.  Painted in Rustoleum Flat Black and distressed, it was protected with General Finishes High Performance Top Coat Flat.   

This vintage dresser was painted with Behr Cracked Pepper made into chalk paint and distressed.  I followed that up with a rubbed on/rubbed off layer of Minwax Dark Walnut Stain to give it an aged look.  The original hardware was simply cleaned and the drawers were lined with a trendy arrow fabric from Hobby Lobby.  It was finished off with three coats of General Finishes High Performance Top Coat Flat.

This massive, outdated dresser was going to a baby nursery to serve as a changing table.  It was painted with Behr paint turned into chalk paint in a happy color called Sugar Poppy.  A few of the original knobs were replaced with new crystal knobs, but most were cleaned and I applied Rub 'N Buff in Gold Leaf to make them pop and add some class.  The entire dresser was top coated with three coats of General Finishes High Performance Top Coat Flat.  

This MCM dresser went from being an outcast to the star of the show!  The dresser was sanded and stained with both Minwax Special Walnut and Rustoleum Dark Walnut.  The drawers were painted with Behr Ultra Pure White made into chalk paint.  The entire piece was given three coats of General Finishes High Performance Top Coat Satin with an additional three coats added to the top for extra durability.  The boring, round hardware was replaced with sleek, chrome hardware, enhancing the same sleekness of the piece itself.  It really went from boring to glorious!
