OCTOBER 2019 COMPETITION WINNERS

Thank you to all who entered our Make it Yours competition in October. 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 the 10 runners up and our lucky top prize winner.

The top prize this month of £250 went to Jane who transformed an antique display unit into a botanical paradise with Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Bramwell and a protective coat of Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax, Clear. Jane also added a metallic twist by painting the glass lead with Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch in Gold. For the final touch a leaf print was added, and the unit was complete.
