Part 2: The Great Upcycling Challenge
When faced with a bedraggled set of drawers or a bedside table that’s seen better days – stop. Bring your mind back from mentally shopping for a replacement and ask yourself ‘is this an opportunity to make something really great?’ If you were going to chuck it out anyway, you’ve got nothing to lose! Here to show you just how easy and cheap it can be is editor Charlotte, who zones in on a particularly bland chest of drawers, shabby chic afficionado Kate Nicole and creative double act Juliet Bawden and Amanda Russel – their 10-minute table idea is, quite frankly, ingenious. And as ever, you can vote for your favourite by simply tweeting #charlotteschallenge, #charityshopsweep or #highstreethack to @homestylemaguk. We’re pleased to announce that Juliet and Amanda won last issue with their copper pendant lights and hairpin leg bench – congratulations! Maybe it will be Kate or Charlotte’s time to shine this issue... Their fate is in your hands.
