Woman totally revamps dated kitchen including new floor for just £60 – and people can’t tell it is the same room
A woman has left fellow homeowners gobsmacked after revamping her kitchen for just £60.
Annette Vasey, who is based in the UK, moved into the house last October but felt it needed renovations “from top-to-bottom”, so she decided to make the most of her spare time during lockdown.
In a complete overhaul of her kitchen, Annette used budget items such as £5 car spray paint for her dated worktops, and spent around 40 hours transforming the room.
Posting before and after pictures on the DIY on a Budget UK Facebook group, fellow members were left stunned by how different the kitchen looked.
One person commented: “That’s amazing,” while another added: “That’s a wow effect. Had to double take, it’s amazing.”
A third person said: “So much better, well done. It can’t of been easy,” while a fourth person wrote: “Looks lovely.”
Among Annette’s kitchen bargains was a £5 black car spray paint from Boyes and clear fablon from Wilkinson’s, which cost her just £10.
Annette’s sister also managed to find a £5 sink for sale on Facebook’s Marketplace, which Annette updated with £20 taps from Screwfix.
