Mum transforms her kitchen for less than £70 using simple product

A mum has shared pictures her transformed kitchen which cost her less than £70 to pull off.

Maxine Taylor, 60, from Hereford, used DC Fix sticky back plastic and a hair dryer to change her room.

"My daughter had used DC Fix to cover a table in her bedroom, which gave me the idea to use it to transform my kitchen," reports the Mirror.

"I bought the white gloss DC Fix from B&Q along with the marble effect to cover my worktops.

"I worked my way around the kitchen removing and covering each door, one at a time. The handles were removed, washed and replaced as I worked my way around."

When it came to attaching the new covering, Maxine, a pet portrait artist, had some tips.

“DC Fix sell a small applicator which is used to smooth out the air bubbles and wrinkles as the self-adhesive film is applied. I covered the drawer fronts in the same way.

"Using a hairdryer helps to soften the film so makes getting nice clean corners much easier. The only tools needed to get the look are a tape measure, scissors and a sharp craft knife.”

And despite spending less than £70, Maxine was absolutely delighted with how the kitchen turned out.

"The whole kitchen cost a grand total of £68 to transform and I absolutely love the finished result,” she said. 

"It makes the kitchen look cleaner, brighter, bigger and much more modern. Everyone who has seen it loves the finished result!"
