MAY 2018 COMPETITION WINNERS
Thank you to all who entered our Make It Yours competition in May. It was a tough month for judging with a multitude of inspirational upcycles and transformation projects to choose from. However, with much deliberation we have chosen 10 runners up and our lucky top prizewinner.
The top prize this month of £250 went to Jasper Komen bought a 70’s drinks cabinet for only £20 and with the help of Rust-Oleum, gave it a geometric makeover. Using Rust-Oleum Satin Finish Furniture Paint in Cotton and Rust-Oleum Gloss Finish Furniture Paint in Dove and Lemon Sorbet, Jasper added a modern design and a bright pop of colour to this chic sideboard. We love it!
