She said: "When we bought the house, the kitchen was outdated and falling apart. I can only imagine how old the floor tiles were, but I thought they were ready for the bin,."
Unhappy with the dark tiles, Charlie-Anne had her heart set on a new vintage-inspired floor - but was gutted when she found out it would cost a small fortune.
"I was quoted over £1,000 to replace the old tiles, as the floor would have needed re-leveling," she said.
