Woman transforms a drab old shelf unit for just a tenner and people can’t believe how expensive it looks
A CRAFTY woman transformed a drab set of wooden drawers for less than a tenner, and people can’t believe the difference.
She decided it was finally time to tackle a DIY project in lockdown, so set about upcycling a set of drawers she had.
She shared a snap of them before the makeover, showing a four-storey tallboy with half the handles missing.
The woman hunted through her house for some paint, and found some undercoat and a satin finish from Dulux.
After sanding down the wood she slapped on the primer and then the white satin shade.
The finishing touch was some chic crystal handles which she picked up for £9.45, meaning the entire project cost her less than a tenner.
She proudly shared her handiwork to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, where it’s racked up more than 1,600 likes.
She said: “This 1 lockdown project I’ve completed.
“Paint and undercoat I already had £0.
“Crystal handles £9.45.
“My Gorgeous new unit total cost ….. £9.45 looks stunning I think.”
Hundreds of people have praised her skills, with one person saying: “Looks ACE well done.”
Another wrote: “Looks fabulous. I’m going tackle all my dated pine bedroom furniture. Thank you. Stunning by the way.”
A third thought: “That’s a wonderful up cycle.”
Someone else commented: “Looks great, so much better.”
