MARCH 2019 COMPETITION WINNERS
Thank you to all who entered our Make it Yours competition in March. It was a tough month for judging with so many inspirational upcycles and transformation projects to choose from. However, with much deliberation, we have chosen 10 runners up and our lucky top prize winner.
The top prize this month of £250 went to Kelly Haworth, who bought a sideboard for only £57 and repurposed it into this beautiful sink unit. Kelly used Rust-Oleum Satin Finish Furniture Paint in Pink Champagne to complete this gorgeous transformation, we especially love the wallpaper too!
