A THRIFTY woman managed to update her drab kitchen on a budget by using paint from Wilko’s and fablon costing a fiver.
Beth Rose Whatley decided to use her time in quarantine to finally update her tired kitchen, which had wooden cupboards and bland countertops.
Beth shared incredible transformation snaps online, as she explained how she achieved her dream kitchen on a budget.
She picked up a tub of cupboard paint from Wilkos for £25, and bought new handles for £4 each which she spray-painted copper.
Next she grabbed some trendy fablon, which costs £5 a roll, to cover her countertops, and she ordered a pack of 24 stick-on tiles for her walls from Amazon.
Finally she finished off the look by re-tiling the splashback, which cost £20.
Sharing snaps online, she said: "£170 later. Chuffed. Still want to change the flooring but will do for now!” reported.
For anyone wanting to copy her makeover, she handily shared where she sourced all her accessories, managing to do her DIY transformation for £170.

"Counters - Black DC Fix - B&Q - £5 per roll.
"Splashback - Cream Metro Tiles B&Q - £20.
"Tile Stickers - Amazon £7 for 24."
