NOVEMBER 2019 COMPETITION WINNERS
Thank you to all who entered our Make it Yours competition in November. 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 gave an inherited granddaughter clock a new lease of life with Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch in Candy Pink. This transformation is fabulous!
Runners up
Clare painted two mid-century bedside tables in a block geometric design with Rust-Oleum Gloss Finish Furniture Paint in Mineral Grey and Rust-Oleum Satin Finish Furniture Paint in Slate. For the handles, Clare used a Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch small pot in Silver and left the legs in their original varnish.
David updated a vintage chest of drawers with Rust-Oleum Satin Finish Furniture Paint in Mineral Grey. After some TLC on the exposed woodwork, David used Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch in Winter Grey for the handles.
Graham transformed a dark pine bookcase with Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Ink Blue for the outside and shelves, and Chalk White on the inside, then finally a protective coating of Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax, Clear.
Jane has saved herself a fortune by painting her venetian blinds instead of replacing them. Jane used Rust-Oleum Surface Primer followed by Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Spray Paint in Chalk White.
Julie upcycled a monks storage bench with Rust-Oleum Satin Finish Furniture Paint in Cotton to create a fresh clean look.
Katerina crafted some recycled newspaper Christmas decorations and painted them with Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch in Racing Green. Well done!
Katherine made a colour pop statement console table with Rust-Oleum Satin Finish Furniture Paint in Teal, Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray Paint in Bright Gold and Rust-Oleum Neon in Pink. An amazing transformation!
Kirstine updated a pine dresser with Rust-Oleum Satin Finish Furniture Paint in Slate for a sleek new look.
Peter lovingly made his grandson a wooden model of a Series 1 Land Rover and painted it using Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch in Oxford Green for the bodywork, Ivory Silk for the roof and Black Satin for the bench seat inside the vehicle. Fantastic!
Sally inherited a 1930s cabinet that once belonged to her Grandmother and wanted to give it a new lease of life and save it from storage in the garage. Using Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Clotted Cream and Rust-Oleum Metallic in Gold, Sally was able to completely transform the look and feel of the cabinet. For the final touches, Sally added tropical leaf wallpaper and some twinkly lights.
