Mum transforms her garish red kitchen into a Mrs Hinch style room using a HAIRDRYER to remove the plastic cupboards
A MUM transformed her garish red kitchen into a Mrs Hinch style room using a HAIRDRYER to remove the plastic cupboards.
The resourceful mother-of-three used household goods she already owned combined with B&Q paint to achieve the stunning transformation.
Rachel Hartley from Manchester decided it was time to change her kitchen from a gaudy red to a sleek silver look that even Mrs Hinch would be proud of.
She told The Sun her motivation behind her new kitchen: "I wanted to change my kitchen but couldn't afford to buy a new one.
And she managed to achieve the stunning £300 glow-up with the help of some budget buys and items she already had lying around the house.
She explained: "I removed the red plastic coating from my cupboards and drawers and bought some paint from B&Q called v-33 cupboard and cabinet paint 2 ltrs in loft grey satin finish for £36.
"I painted the cupboards with two coats and still have some left. The paint was really easy to use."
But her most shocking tip was:
"I used a hair dryer on some of my cupboards as I knew that if I heated the coating it would soften the glue and come off easily and it did leaving no residue."
The works by holding a hair dryer on it's highest setting a foot away from the surface and heating the area until the adhesive melts down and frees the coating off.
Explaining further the work that took place behind the transformation, she said she also"ripped the red coating off my cupboards and covered my black worktops and splash backs with fablon."
She also detailed how she "Used sticky back plastic (fablon) on my worktops and splashbacks."
And fellow group members were quick to heap compliments on the stunning transformation.
The before and after shots were flooded with comments saying what a "great job" and praising the new, stylish look as "brilliant" and "amazing."
And Rachel herself is thrilled with the results, telling us: "I am pleased with how my kitchen has turned out and really enjoyed doing it. The whole project took a week to do."
