A MAN has revealed how he was able to transform his entire kitchen from drab to fab for less than £50.
Stuart Renton, from Clydebank, Scotland took to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to share his incredible results.
The Scotsman shared a series of photos revealing the dramatic makeover as well as the underwhelming before shot.
In the first image Stuart’s kitchen is far from a chef’s paradise with cream units and a tired grey work top making it look dated.
But after spending just £48, Stuart’s kitchen is completely unrecognisable thanks to an aged wood effect work top and chic navy cabinets.
Captioning his snaps he wrote: “My personal bargain of the week was transforming my kitchen for just £47.50!! Everything was from B&Q.
“Total of 19 cupboards doors/drawer fronts painted with two coats with spare left over for any touch ups needed over time.”
Stuart revealed that he spent £28 on two litres of paint for the cabinets, and purchased three rolls of self-adhesive Fablon, costing £6.50 each.
And fellow group members were seriously impressed by the transformation with his post receiving over 3,000 likes and hundreds of comments.
One user wrote: “No need to always replace the full kitchen, you’ve done a fab job and looks great. Freshens up a tired old kitchen, very modern.”
“Fab job you’ve totally transformed your kitchen looks amazing” commented another.
Agreeing a third added: “What a difference! It looks amazing! Well done.”
It comes just a day after we told you about a mum who was able to transform her kitchen floor for just £50 after her dog destroyed her old one.
Kim Stoner had paid five times that amount to have her colourful striped lino fitted before it was chewed by her American Bulldog, and saved £200 by replacing it herself.
She purchased ten packs of self-adhesive vinyl planks from B&Q, costing just £4.85 to refit the floor.

Sharing the before and after snaps, she wrote: “So after my dog ate a floor I paid about £250 for I’ve just replaced it with some from b&q (in pic) it’s cost me £49 my kitchen is 4.5 metre x 2 metre total bargain.”
And a mum uses a £3.50 Asda spray to get rid of washing machine mould in minutes.
