A THRIFTY DIY fan gave her kitchen a cheap and stylish makeover using nothing but vinyl wrap and a touch of paint.
She loved it so much that she even spruced up her toddler’s IKEA play kitchen to match and was all done for under £70.
The kitchen was made up oak timber cabinetry with black bench tops and mosaic-style wall tiles to match .
But after the makeover, the kitchen is now a brighter shade of white with marble-effect detailing on the work tops.
Funnily enough, her daughter’s toy kitchen almost matched the main kitchen perfectly – both before and after the transformation.
The play kitchen even has rose gold finishes, just like mums.
The thrifty mum shared her finished project on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group and revealed that she’d also removed her breakfast and patched up the mess using skirting and beading from B&Q.
She wrote: “My lockdown project. Even did my daughters ikea kitchen. All for under £70.
” I then removed the breakfast bar to have a proper family table and improvised with the mess of the broken tiles that were behind it with some skirting & beading from b&q.
Adding that she sanded down the cupboards and added a lick of paint in the shade satinwood by Dulux, using no primer or sealer.
Other members of the group were blown away by the new look with many inspired to do their own.
“Looks great! Well done! I’m desperate to do ours,” one person wrote.
And another said: “Wow the difference that makes so much brighter love it.
Many others also used words such as “brilliant,”” amazing,” and “awesome” to describe the new look
