Mum transforms her staircase using glossy paint and heart-shaped light – and DIY fans are loving it
A MUM has wowed DIY fans by totally transforming her staircase for just £65.
The woman, called Sharon, has revealed how she was able to get the amazing results using just a few items, including glossy paint, disused carpet swatches, quirky wallpaper and a heart-shaped charity shop lamp.
She shared pictures of her impressive handiwork on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on .
They show how her previously bleak staircase has been changed into a colourful homely space with the addition of pretty lanterns and old bottles containing fairy lights.
Captioning the post, Sharon wrote: “My hallway make over on my stairs and landing.
“Painted the stairs with water based gloss 28.99 done all upstairs floorboards too with the same tin.
“The carpet treads were from a carpet shop book bought for 1.00.
“Bought a tin of carpet adhesive for 8.99 in B&Q, they are all slightly different shades but can’t tell.
“Been down a year now and still looking good.
“Edit paint on walls teal topaz B&M and wallpaper was B&Q.”
With the paint costing £28.99, the pieces of carpet £1 and the carpet adhesive £8.99, she was initially set back just £39.
We estimate that she then spent around £12 on wallpaper from B&Q and £11 on paint from B&M, and she also later revealed the heart-shaped light on the wall was £3 from a charity shop – bringing her total to a relatively affordable £65.
Fellow Facebook users rushed to compliment her on the gorgeous finish – and the post has already received more than 600 likes.
One person wrote: “This is lovely.”
Another commented: “Looks stunning.”
A third shared: “Looks beautiful, love that wallpaper.”
And a fourth added: ” I’m planning something similar. Really nice.”
