A CRAFTY mum decided to revamp her entire kitchen – including the fridge and the washing machine – using a lick of paint and some vinyl wrap.
The mum wanted to transform her ‘dated’ kitchen, which had bland wooden cabinets and a dark countertop.
She hit up B&Q for some specialist V33 paint – which is “resistant to cooking stains, household products and repeated cleaning” and starts from £24 – and bought a roll of vinyl from B&M for £5.99.
The mum went for a chic marble design for her countertops, and even upcycled her appliances to match her new kitchen.
She gave the washing machine a lick of black paint, and tried to do the same with the fridge, before giving up and covering it in vinyl after she ‘messed up’.
The end result is a completely different kitchen, and people can’t believe it’s the same house.
She shared her transformation to Facebook group Extreme Budget DIY & Life Hacks, where it’s racked up hundreds of likes.
She said: “Decided on a complete transformation of cabinets washing machine that was looking dated lol and fridge and chair 3v3 paint is the go to so thought I would share as my biggest upcycling yet.
“Paint was v33 cabinet paint from b and q and for the fridge vinyl d c fix sticky back from b&m case anyone interested….
“And it was not badly priced 5.99 a roll and fair bit on the roll as well.
“Decided to go all the way vinyl on tops as well.”
Explaining how she managed to keep the cycle information on her washing machine, which she called a “horrid and cheap”, she revealed: “I took a pic of it and then wrote them down on a card stuck it down and painted over it.”
The finishing touch was some spotlights from Tesco, which cost her £3.50 for a pack of two.
People are in awe of her transformation, with one person saying: “What a transformation you’ve done.”
Someone else wrote: “Looks like a completely different kitchen well done!”
A third commented: “Gorgeous looks all brand new well done.”
While this person thought: “What an amazing job you have done! You must feel so proud!”
And another added: “Amazing! Some job, especially your fridge & freezer!”
And this super-organised mum labels EVERYTHING in her cupboard, including her laundry basket & people are in awe.
