Last month, we ran a contest to find the most beautiful pieces painted in our patriotic colors of Artissimo, Flow Blue and Tricycle. We’re so excited to share the winners with you. Maybe you’ll get inspired to take on a project using these colors in your own home!

Artissimo Winners

Serpentine Secretary Desk

Marcia of Freckle Face Finds submitted this piece in our “Artissimo” category. What an incredible secretary desk! Between those claw feet and the serpentine front, our jaws dropped pretty quickly!

To protect her piece, Marcia used Hemp Oil followed by Antiquing Wax for a durable and handsome finish.

Eastlake Chest of Drawers

Jen of Green Spruce Designs also claimed a winning spot in this category with this charming Eastlake style chest of drawers.

Tricycle Winner

Tati of Wood Morning 2 U (what a fun name!) stole our hearts with this chippy dresser in our vibrant Tricycle red.

If you’d like to learn how to create the chippy look on a piece with an existing finish, check out our extensive blog post on the topic here:

Flow Blue Winner

Anna of Sky Lark House submitted this gorgeous sideboard in our Flow Blue. She put some MAJOR work into this piece, and we absolutely loved it!

Most Improved Piece

AJ of Vintique Co’s took this empire style dresser from boring and worn to updated and fabulous!

We love her boho-vintage-antique vibe too!

Most Submissions

We added this category to the contest to give a shout out to Deb Cottle of Cottle & Gunn. She loves our paint so much that she practically blew up our inbox with submissions. (We say that lovingly!)

Here are just a few of the beautiful pieces she sent to us.

We hope that you feel inspired to try these gorgeous colors on your next project! Moreover, we hope you’ll join us for our next contest and submit your beautiful handiwork!
