Become a dab hand!

WHETHER you’re thinking of big scale renovations or merely pondering a lick of paint for your home, get to the PTSB Ideal Home Show at the RDS Simmonscourt from Friday to Sunday, April 26-28.

There are over 220 exhibitors ready to help up to 30,000 homeowners, movers and improvers across the weekend to implement their perfect home renovation, extension or new build, and discover a world of furnishings, appliances and lifestyle pieces.

This year PTSB Ideal Home Show sponsor Fleetwood Paints, Ireland’s largest indigenous paint company, is inviting all DIY enthusiasts to get creative and give a new lease of life to preloved pieces in their homes with the Fleetwood Paints Challenge.

Fleetwood Paints is encouraging entrants to transform the ordinary into something special. Entries have been asked to recreate an everyday item in their homes using Fleetwood Paints and accessories.

Fleetwood Paints ambassador and founder of Shabby.ie Aileen Hogan, RTÉ 2FM presenter and sustainable living influencer Fionnuala Moran and the Fleetwood Paints team will have the tricky task of choosing a winner.

Speaking about the challenge, Fleetwood Paints ambassador and judge of the Fleetwood Paints Challenge Aileen Hogan said: ‘For the Fleetwood Paints Challenge, we’re not just looking at what has been created, but what potential has been unlocked. We are looking forward to seeing what our entries can create.’

All entrants will be entered into a draw for a luxurious overnight stay at the Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge, including breakfast and dinner – the perfect escape after all their hard work.

THE first prize is a €500 Fleetwood Paints voucher. Entrants can submit before and after photos of their projects at idealhome.ie. For more details and tickets head to IdealHome.ie.
