Mum transforms her kitchen just £200 and reveals how she did it

A money-saving mum has revealed how she managed to completely transform her kitchen without spending a ton of money.

Charlotte Greedy, 26, from Pontyclun, used ingenuity without splashing out.

"I came up with the idea when I desperately wanted a new kitchen but just couldn’t afford to buy a brand new one," Charlotte told money-saving community   LatestDeals.co.uk .

"I then had the idea of painting it all to mimic a new kitchen. I bought stick on tiles from a company called Tic Tac Tiles on Amazon to cover my existing tiles and bought Good Home North pole paint from B&Q and painted my worktops!"

But she didn't stop there, reports the Mirror.

"I then painted my cupboards using Good Home Durable Delware Satin Multi-Surface paint," she explained.

"I used a mini gloss roller from Poundstretcher to apply both the worktop and cupboard paint, and only used a little brush for the hard to get to parts!

"I changed all my cupboard handles, again purchased from B&Q, and I changed my own plug sockets from white to chrome.

"I bought my flooring off eBay and used a pen knife and spray glue to fit it, and changed my light fitting to a brighter light. It cost around £200 to completely change the kitchen.”

And Charlotte, who posts shots of her home renovations on  Instagram  at  @missgreedyshome  , is made up with her kitchen transformation, saying it even makes cooking for her two boys better.

"I am absolutely in love with the transformation and it's made my kitchen look brand new," she said.

"Once the kitchen was complete I felt like I could be proud of my kitchen, something I never was.

"Whenever I go in there now I absolutely love it instead of loathing to go and make dinner!"
