A SINGLE mother has revealed that she gave her kitchen a mega makeover whilst staying on a budget.
So if you want to add style to your pad, then you’ve come to the right place and will need to listen up.
Jessica Willcock, a mum-of-one from the UK, used bargain buys from Amazon and The Range to give her space a new lease of life, and it’s left people open-mouthed.
Thrilled with her home’s ultimate transformation, Jessica took to social media to share a before and after look at her kitchen.
But whilst Jessica loves her unique decor, she claimed that her colourful kitchen is not to everyone’s taste.
What was once a bright aqua blue space has since been given a pretty, pink overhaul, without breaking the bank.
Posting on DIY On A Budget, a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, alongside snaps of her home, Jessica wrote: “Transformed my tired and beaten up old kitchen.
“We’re finally making a happy space for the two of us.”
Jessica claimed that her kitchen is “not to everyone’s taste..”, but acknowledged that she is a “single mama with a young man who loves to help change our house decor.”
The savvy mum then acknowledged that she used Rust-Oleum paint in the shade Dusky Pink to inject personality into her kitchen.
She described the paint, which retails from £18.99, as “an absolute dream to put on”.
As well as this, the bargain hunter shared that to transform her worktops, she used D-C-Fix self-adhesive film, in a zebra print pattern, which she bought from Amazon.
