General Finishes - Queenstown Gray Milk Paint Pint

Incorporating pieces of the past into this redecorated country home make it a true family treasure. Read how the owner upcycled various items found on the farm to create her version of "farmhouse fabulous."  

Faux finishes are a lot of fun to paint and can be simulated with just a few simple steps. This project features four unique looks, and we’ll show you how to create each one. We used 8" paper-mache letters purchased from Pat Catan’s for this tutorial. The letters H, O, M and E each have a different technique used.

She calls herself “just a country girl with paint in her hair,” but furniture artist Quitta Allen is far from ordinary. Her refurbished china hutch with a stunning blend of gray, silver, gold and linen earned her a 1st place designation in the 2017 General Finishes Design Challenge in the Smashing Shades of Gray category.

For the second year in a row, local “makers” had the opportunity to use their creativity for a good cause – the Mid-Ohio Valley Habitat for Humanity. The ReStore ReDesign Contest encouraged entrants to upcycle furniture pieces for the chance to win more than $700 in prizes and have their project move on to the annual fundraising event, Destination Design.
