Mayo woman announced as winner of Home Revival Challenge at Ideal Home Show
Lisa McGraynor from Westport was announced the winner of the Prestige by Fleetwood Home Revival Challenge at the PTSB Ideal Home Show.
Over 27,000 homeowners, movers and improvers descended onto the RDS Simmonscourt over the weekend for the PTSB Ideal Home Show to visit over 230 exhibitors, bringing the best of Ireland’s home improvement professionals and suppliers under one roof to showcase the latest innovations in home renovations.
One of the weekend’s standout features was the return of the Prestige by Fleetwood Home Revival Challenge. Now in its third year, the competition invited DIY and upcycling enthusiasts from across the country to give new life to pre-loved pieces of furniture using Prestige by Fleetwood Paints. This year, the competition opened up to allow entrants to flaunt their skills by submitting a whole room makeover to be in with the chance to win.
On Friday, Prestige by Fleetwood ambassador and founder of Shabby.ie Aileen Hogan, and TV and radio presenter and sustainable living influencer Fionnuala Moran announced Westport’s Lisa McGraynor as the winner, where she took home a €500 Prestige by Fleetwood voucher and a city break of a two-night getaway at any of the five Leonardo Hotel locations across Dublin, Galway, Cork and Belfast.
Lisa set out to transform her nursery into a warm and stylish space ahead of the arrival of her baby girl, Mia, choosing Prestige by Fleetwood Lerici in Multi Surface Matt to bring her vision to life. After sampling the shade from her local Albany store in Westport, she discovered the perfect dusty pink, rich in character and charm. The colour lifted the room instantly, popping beautifully against the walnut cot and creating a soft yet striking finish that perfectly captured the look and feel she had imagined.
Speaking about the winning entry, Fleetwood Ambassador Aileen Hogan said: “Year three of the Prestige by Fleetwood Home Revival Challenge felt like a real step up for the challenge, especially bringing full room makeovers into the mix, and Lisa absolutely nailed it. The nursery is beautifully done, it’s warm, stylish and every element just works.”
Sustainable living influencer Fionnuala Moran added: “Opening up the competition this year made it so exciting, the level was so impressive, but Lisa’s project just had that spark. It’s such a lovely, well thought out space and you can tell a lot of care went into it.”
