MAY 2017 COMPETITION WINNERS
Thank you to all who entered our Make It Yours competition in May.
As more and more entries come in each month, we are amazed to see all of the tremendous transformations and beautiful upcycles. So many creative projects made it a tough task to choose our favourites, but with much deliberation the ten runners up and our lucky top prizewinner have been chosen.
The top prize this month of £250 went to Sarah Horton who beautifully renovated her 1980’s kitchen cupboard and units. This transformation was completed with the help of Rust-Oleum Satin Finish Furniture Paint in Mocha, along with a lick of paint, new flooring and worktops, this kitchen is unrecognisable!

This makeover was achieved using Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Graphite for the exterior, and Winter Grey for the interior of the unit. For added durability and style, Katie used Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax in Dark for details, then finished the remainder of the unit with Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax in Clear.
