The new, PICA award-winning, Plascon Spaces 9 is hitting shelves on Monday and just in time for Summer too.
Celebrating the great outdoors, Plascon Spaces 9 takes readers outside after a very long and cold winter and gives them the tools, tips and tricks to make summer living not only beautiful, but practical as well.
Learn more about ombre, dip-dyeing and paint-dipping techniques and then get your hands dirty with step-by-step projects that show you how using paint can revitalise old objects and spaces. Plascon Spaces shows you four ways to revamp your patio to suit your needs and takes you into real spaces where colour has been used to enhance the senses and create a brighter energy.
Visit Plascon Spaces website along with their sister Plascon Trends website for ideas and don’t forget to follow their Pinterest boards and Twitter feeds for more colour inspiration.
Pick up your copy of Plascon SPACES 9 at Woolworths, C.N.A., Spar, Exclusive Books, Builders Warehouse and other general retailers and welcome a more revitalising summer – it’ll give you every excuse to stay outdoors.
In conjunction with Plascon Spaces I’m giving away a years subscription (3 issues) to the magazine to one lucky winner!
All you have to do is leave a comment below on what summer painting project you’d like to tackle over the festive season. The winner will be drawn at random on Friday, 21st December 2012. Sadly it’s only open to residents of South Africa.
CONGRATS TO THE WINNER, MELANIE GRAHAM, WISHING YOU AN INSPIRED 2013!

We are repainting my kids room. From purple & green to turquoise & white. And repainting the lounge from dark red to yellow. And repainting the bathroom from mouldy to white! We have been buying the paint every month. Started taping around the windows, hope it comes off! Place looks like a pigsty! Wish it would miraculously paint itself! Waiting for builders shutdown on 14th to go on holiday & paint it all before Xmas!

I want to paint my whole house for the first time ever. I have just completed building after one and half year of being robbed by builders. My house has changed hands to four builders who did untidy jobs and take my money and ran. I have recently placed furnished and set up proper bedrooms. I want to make my daughter happy.

Hi Matt
We’ve been living in our home for nearly 8 years with the idea that we were going to move after 2 years! I painted the kids’ room last year. These holidays I want to paint some furniture (desk, shelves, nest side table Plascon colour card B2-D1 & B2-D2) as well as repaint a wall in the lounge (Plascon River God), paint our front door (toss up between Plascon Spring Serenade & Azure Like It) and the wendy house (also with colourful doors).

Definitely getting prepared to tackle a major revamp and paint of my study.

I bought old dining room chairs at an auction. Want to paint them in Plascon Melanie as main colour and paint the legs in Plascon Hot ‘n Spicy… and stencil each chair’s legs with a different set of words: Yebo, Yummy, Howzit, Jou Ma!
And then the bland spareroom needs a makeover… I bought paintable wallpaper during the year… still need to decide what colour to paint it, but I’m leaning towards one of Plascon’s Teal or Violet colours.

Wow – another really cool competition give-away!! I must say, Plascon really is getting me all fired up to tackle a project i have been putting off for a while. I am looking to strip and repaint my wooden patio set. My dad made it for me and it needs a bit of TLC! Thinking of going with a bright blue and updating the pillows to contrasting patterns and shades of blue, white and a touch of red! #rollonPlasconSummer !!
