Ombré sky

By Ashley Olson at Eden Elyse Design Co. in Stillwater, MN.

Winning Category

This buffet has been painted in a color range of dark navy to pale blue, resembling a beautiful cloudless sky.

I started with Antique White milk paint at the bottom and Coastal Blue milk paint at the top. Then, with a damp brush and working quickly, I just blended the 2 colors together until I saw the "cloudless sky". I waited 2 days for the paint to completely dry since it was watered down, then applied High Performance Top Coat. The hardware was updated to a brushed nickel to complete the look.

This dated oak hutch top was begging for a dramatic transformation. The beautiful floral wallpaper was the design inspiration for this piece.

Some light distressing completed the body along with attaching some new Queen Anne style legs to support the large piece.

The Atlantic

By Paige Davis, Blogger at Southern Curated

Winning Category

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.

Rockin' Retro Teal

By Claudia Whitcraft at Vintage Soul Barn in Lebanon, IN.

Winning Category

   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.

Smokey Ballet Slipper

By Heavenly Chic

Winning Category

Love is only a word, until you finally see it~ I refinished this adorable 1920s chest of drawers with the attention of representing a French theme with a Smokey grunge feel with a side of ballet softness. I call her my "Smokey Ballet Slipper"! The multi color of grey paired with shades of greige, white silver and pearl all rolled into one. Makes this girl one of a kind♡ I then couldn't just finish there, so I gave her plush pink and grey decoupaged drawers and added crystal hardware to compliment the painted original hardware.

Fabulous Farmhouse Coffee Table set

By Julie Donovan, Artist at VintagelessJules in Wheaton, IL.

Winning Category

This coffee table set oozes Farmhouse charm.  Painted in a custom mix of General Finishes Driftwood and Millstone milkpaint.  This color is a fantastic neutral and is quite a chameleon of sorts.  In darker lighting, it lends itself as more of a cooler grey.  On a sunny day or an area with more natural light, it will have more of a warmer beige tone to it.  It truly is the perfect "greige" in my book!

Santa Fe Turqoise Sideboard

By Melanie Martin, Owner at 3-11 Upcycled Treasures in Saskatoon, SK, CA

Winning Category

After sanding and cleaning the old finish and dirt from this sideboard, the colour of the wood screamed "southwest " to me. I tried blending a variety of different colours and different paint brands. The only one that reminded me of Santa Fe was 3 parts Klein and 1 part Persian blue. I lightly applied several coats of the mix only to find it was a beautiful blue but wasn't quite right. I heavily sanded the sideboard and accented it with Patina green to give it the depth of Santa Fe turquoise.

Fabulous Farmhouse Cabinet

By Julie Donovan, Artist at VintagelessJules in Wheaton, IL.

Winning Category

This adorable cabinet was given a Farmhouse facelift!  Painted in a custom mix of General Finishes Driftwood and Millstone milkpaints.  This custom color is was one of my more popular color combinations this year.  In a brighter room with more natural light, the color takes on a warm, beige tone.  In darker spaces, it lends itself to more of a cooler grey.  In my book, it is the perfect "greige".  The original pulls were replaced with new cast iron ones that have an incredible Farmhouse feel.

Into the Forrest Green

By UpcyclingbyAmy at Upcycling by Amy in Stoddard, WI.

Winning Category

This poor dresser had been passed up by everyone because it was missing two of its drawers.  I decided to cut out the support piece on the bottom to make it one whole open cubby and I lined the inside in reclaimed barnwood.  I really wanted to make this a stately piece so I mixed 1 part General Finishes Milk Paint in Emerald Green and 1 part General Finishes Milk Paint in Costal Blue.  The final product is this amazingly deep, rich green color that really stands out in a room.  We finished off the look with hammered brass drawer pulls and who doesn't love a globe or two?!?

Found on the side of the road, this Garrison hutch had seen better days.  From someone's treasured addition to their dining room in the 1960's, to a disguarded and forgotten piece of rubbish, this hutch had seen, and been, it all.  But behind all the scratches, the chipped veneer, and the bleak-looking finish, it was still a strong, sturdy and quality piece of furniture.  I knew I couldn't leave it behind.

Winning Category

Who paints a entire piece in 9 tablespoons of paint ??? I did-- I created this custom mix of Patina Green and White Wash Stain. Patina green is a awesome color but I wanted to tone it down a bit. I used 3 tablespoons of the Patina Green and 6 tablespoons of the White Wash Stain. Blended together in a ceramic bowl until mixed thoroughly. I then applied by dipping my brush in and then wiping some back off. I applied it like a dry brush effect first. Then added more where I didn't want as much of the natural undertone coming through.
