NOVEMBER 2018 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 10 runners up and our lucky top prize winner.
The top prize this month of £250 went to Marleen De Veij, who made paper mache lamps for her dining room using Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Flint for the exterior and Rust-Oleum Metallic Finish Furniture Paint in Gold. To finish the look Marleen added a splash of Rust-Oleum Glitter paint for some sparkle. Well done!
