JUNE 2018 COMPETITION WINNERS
Thank you to all who entered our Make It Yours competition in June. 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 Jade Finnan who created a modern chevron masterpiece by upcycling an old chest of drawers. This look was created with Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Ink Blue and Winter Grey. Jade distressed the paint and added a protective coating of Rust-Oleum Furniture Lacquer, Matt. The final finishing touch is the pin legs to tie in the new look. Great job Jade!
