A MONEY-SMART woman has left people open-mouthed after sharing her epic kitchen makeover on a budget.
With soaring, millions of cash-strapped Brits are on the lookout for ways to spruce up their homes on the cheap.
And now one woman, Nicola Beaumont-Clark, has taken to to prove there's no need to fork out thousands to give your kitchen a brand new look.
The DIY fan was able to transform her kitchen from drab to fab, all thanks to a lick of paint.
Thrilled with her purse-friendly overhaul, Nicola posted it on DIY On A Budget – a group with 2.2million members – to share a before and after look at her jaw-dropping project.
Although the ”was sturdy and functional enough”, Nicole wasn't too keen on the vibe, saying it was ”not attractive”.
Before the epic glow-up, the room had a pretty basic feel to it, featuring white cupboards, light grey walls, as well as dark grey and white tiles in the middle section.
But rather than spending an astronomical sum to do up her kitchen, Nicola took matters into her own hands – and the “after” snaps would make you think it was a professional job.
What's more, not only did the project come at a mere £75, she also used just three tins of paint, which you can find at B&Q on the cheap.
To zhuzh up the dull cupboards, Nicole used V33 All Purpose Paint in Khaki that can snap up for as little as £5.50 for a 50ml taster pot.
Meanwhile, to transform the tiles she used V33 Tile paint in Cotton White, which will set you back £5.50 for a 75ml pot – or £27 for a larger 750ml tin.
The now-updated cupboards looked chic and trendy and went perfect with the lighter walls – that she did up with Dulux Eqyptian Cotton Kitchen Paint.
Thrifty B&Q customers can purchase a huge 2.5l tin of the gorgeous paint for just £28 – and it's already racked up an impressive five-star rating online from dozens of shoppers.
Chuffed with the revamp, Nicola wrote in her post: ”The difference some paint makes!!!
”I can not stress enough how good V33 paint is for doing over tiles or cupboards.
”Cost me £75 to totally transform our kitchen,” she said, before revealing the next step of the transformation.
”Now for the more costly part, blinds and flooring.”
The gorgeous renovation project has clearly impressed many, as the post has racked up close to 100 likes and 37 comments.
‘You’ve done a 180 on that kitchen'
One person keen to give their kitchen a glow-up said: ”Thanks for the tip – we can't afford to retile our horrendous pink tiles in the bathroom, so will give this paint a try instead.”
Someone else wrote: ”Looks like a new kitchen. Great job.”
”You’ve done a 180 on that kitchen. Looks stunning!” another chimed in.
”I have exactly the same kitchen. Well done, it looks great!” a fourth added.
