Woman gives her dull kitchen a complete transformation using cheap paint and tile stickers

IF YOU don't have the funds for a brand new kitchen, you can still give the space where you cook an affordable update.

One woman has revealed how she transformed hers using cheap paint and tile stickers.

Posting in group Extreme Budget DIY & Life Hacks, the savvy DIY fan called Helen shared before and after pictures of the kitchen.

The woman replaced black and cream tiles with paisley printed ones, painted the oak wood cupboards an elegant shade of blue and added shelves from Etsy to the wall.

Explaining the costs behind the makeover, she wrote: "I couldn’t afford a new kitchen so here is my makeover kitchen on a budget!

" I used Annie Sloane paint and wax for the cupboards and tile stickers. I only used 2 cans of paint which had 2 coats and then 3 coats of clear wax. Total cost £80.

"Tile stickers cost £115 but that did include £27 postage as I needed nearly 300.

"Shelves were from Etsy & are reclaimed scaffold boards. Cost £70

"I feel like I have a new kitchen and couldn’t be happier with the results!"

Helen's post was popular with fellow members who left more than 450 'likes'.

One person wrote: "Wow this is beautiful, you’ve made an amazing job!

Another commented: "Loving the tiles."

A third shared: "Oh I love it, especially the floating shelves!!"

And a fourth added: "Wow what a transformation, you should be so proud of yourself."
