I’m a single mum & given my bathroom a makeover on a budget with Amazon, Shein & Temu buys – people beg me to do theirs
A WOMAN has revealed that she has given her bathroom a total transformation, whilst on a budget.
DIY enthusiast and single mother Laura Hilton, who lives in Glasgow, explained that to keep costs low, she used bargain buys from Amazon, Shein and Temu, to give her space a fresh new feel.
Thrilled with her bathroom’s overhaul, Laura took to social media to show off her transformation, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on DIY On A Budget Official, a private Facebook group with a whopping 2.2 million members, Laura shared a picture of her bathroom after she got to work.
She explained: “Finally got my bathroom done after two years of being in this house.
“[I’m a] single mum so [it’s] been hard to decorate on a low budget but finally [I’ve] done it.”
She then added: “Still got a few bits and bobs to get – mirrors, black toilet seat, etc.
“Decorated in under three weeks – feels so cosy now.”
Originally, Laura’s plain bathroom was in serious need of some TLC.
As a result, the mother stripped the boring white wallpaper as it was not to her taste.
She also gave the space some personality – with new wallpaper and flooring, as well as some trendy accessories.
Laura later explained that she bought her zig zag self-adhesive wallpaper and her bathroom blind from Amazon and her new herringbone style flooring from Flooring Direct.
She also shared that she got her faux garland from Shein, and wrapped a packet of fairy lights, also from Shein, around it herself.
Not only this, but the single mother purchased candle holders and her bath mat from Temu.
