This past Spring General Finishes announced that they would be discontinuing their chalk paint line. I was genuinely pissed ya’ll. I LOVE their chalk paint, like seriously . At that point it made up wwwaaayyy over half of my paint cabinet. As soon as my local retailer confirmed that this was infact true I places a massive order of all of the colors that I love, as much as I could afford.
Those dudes at the wood working store thought I was nuts.
Who am I kidding? They have never thought I was normal……but they are really nice to me :))
I do not have a before photo on this one but take a look at the corner of this drawer.
This chest of drawers was all to hell ya’ll. This was probably the best of it’s problems.
General Finishes Slate is a color near and dear to my heart. It is a moody color, gray but sometimes blue, sometimes green. So far aside know there is no other color like it in the world of furniture paints
This chest was in need of a gob of hardware, and in 3 different sizes. I took me a few weeks to round up enough knobs and pulls for the entire chest.
These antique brass knobs were on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $1.49 each
The bails were $.99 at DLawless Hardware.
Lastly the two little odd 2 inch bails were $4 Ebay finds.
Good thing this chest was $30, huh?
The top is Minwax Dark Walnut with Minwax water based poly, 3 coats. I really love the antique brass with the moody blueish green!
The top is light in comparison to the dark slate body. In my opinion any darker of a top would not have shown off this beautiful wood.
Incase you are wondering which drawer was the broken one?
Bottom, left side,
Big Daddy is the bomb ya’ll!
Have a great weekend !
I love your work…your color choices..the simplicity but beauty of each piece. I appreciate that you share your color and brand of paint for each of your pieces. I even recovered 2 pieces of mine in that gorgeous red you used a month or so ago. I was so glad to find a new chalk paint line close to my home. I look forward to each new post you share with your readers. God Bless you.

Awww Carol you’ve made my day girl:)) thank you so much for those so kind words ❤️❤️❤️
Love that color! I wonder why Gnl Finishes discontinued the chalk paint? Love the hardware, too! Beautiful piece, Paige!
My understand is that it didn’t sell well. I always thought it was the BEST chalk style paint on the market! I do have a hoard of it put away though 😉 Thank for stopping by Julie❤️
