It’s no secret that I love General Finishes milk paints. But oh my goodness, these side tables have fulfilled a wish of mine that I’ve had for months of wanting to go bold and bright with a color on a piece, so I could not turn down the opportunity when I had these small matching side tables in my possession to do a beautiful island blue turquoise using General Finishes Patina Green (though really more a blue in my humble opinion)!

Here’s what they looked like before I got to work on them:
These tables have been a handful to clean up, but they were worth it! Now look at these daring darlings:
General Finishes is once again the winner behind this phenomenal color of milk paint called Patina Green. It has a Jade quality to it, and reminds me of the beautiful and clear turquoise ocean waters you find in tropical areas.
The bold patina color especially works with these two pieces in a room because they are small and therefore not overpowering, but will still make a statement.
I kept the original fixtures and used good ol’ Rub N Buff in gold leaf (click here for a tutorial) to shine them up and add even more glam.
Just like those pure island waters that beckon your gaze to linger, you can’t peel your eyes away from them!
Very much in love with how these babes turned out!
