A WOMAN has revealed how she transformed her front doorway using a £10 Amazon buy.
Gemma Lee revealed that she had wanted to try out the DIY venture for a long time and is “so happy with how it turned out.
Sharing an image of what her doorway had previously looked like to the DIY On A Budget official Facebook page, Gemma revealed that the front of her house had been painted a plain, dark red.
Determined to jazz up the area, she used Sandtex paint, in Plymouth Grey, to paint the outside walls.
Then, the DIY whizz purchased a patterned stencil from Amazon, which you can pick up for around £10.
She placed the stencil on her doorstep, and using, acrylic black paint, she painted an intricate, floral pattern.
To seal the paint, she then used Ronseal indoor/outdoor sealer.
“If you’re thinking about stencilling, do it”, she said.
To liven up the area even more, Gemma placed a heart shaped wreath on the door, and placed an adorable dog shaped planter on the doorstep.
She also placed two potted trees on either side of the doorway, to give the space an elegant feel.
Gemma’s DIY transformation has likely left many impressed, as her post has amassed over 3000 likes and hundreds of comments.
