Mum completely transforms kitchen into dream room for just £60

A young mum has revealed how she transformed her entire kitchen into a dream family room, using just £60.

Hannah Williams, 25, from Grays, Essex, decided to bite the bullet and decorate her kitchen after being fed up of looking at her dull, brown cupboard doors.

Hannah, a junior project manager, said: "My partner Jordan, 28, and I moved into our flat in February 2018 and from day one I really wanted to redecorate the kitchen.

"I kept nagging Jordan about it but he kept pushing it back so, when he was away in Ireland one weekend, I decided to just do it myself as I was tired of it looking so dull.

"I'd seen articles online about people doing up their kitchens on a budget, so thought I'd give it a go.

"I did the majority of it by myself over the May bank holiday weekend - my dad helped a little bit here and there too."

Hannah, who was pregnant at the time, made the kitchen look completely different in just four days and kept the renovation cheap by getting items from places like Amazon, B&Q, and Wilko's.

The now mum of one added: "I didn't realise you could just paint over the cupboard doors, I thought you had to get new ones completely.

"Once I realised, I went to B&Q and bought some of their GoodHome multi surface paint for cupboard doors for just £20 - a hell of a lot cheaper than getting them refitted!"
