APRIL 2019 COMPETITION WINNERS
Thank you to all who entered our Make it Yours competition in April. 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 Sheryl who made a dining room table from scratch! Sheryl used Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Chalk White and Anthracite and sanded it down to created a washed wood effect. To protect the finish, Sheryl used Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax, Clear. The table fits perfectly in the window bay too. Well done!

After repairing the drawers she used Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Graphite and added a protective coat of Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax, Dark to give an industrial vibe. To enhance this look Fiona sanded down the drawer fronts and applied Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax, Clear to two of the drawer fronts, and added a Dark wax to the third.
