Girl, 16, transforms her bland wooden chest of drawers to gold and navy using £16 B&Q roll

A TEENAGER revamped a bland set of drawers using fablon from B&Q - and the whole project cost her just £16. 

Mum Lisa Clark revealed her daughter was fed up of her wooden drawers, and fancied a change without forking out for some new furniture.

She added that her daughter “loves it”, as she explained exactly how she achieved the look. 

Lisa added: “We were going to paint it but decided not to.

“The gold was £6 a roll and the navy has a wood look to it also which we love and was £10!
