A savvy mother has shared her incredible kitchen transformation which cost just £105 – and she achieved the look with a lick of paint and upcycled furniture. 

Cassie Middleton, from Ireland, shared the impressive before and after pictures to Facebook group DIY on a Budget and penned: ‘My kitchen transformation… cost about £105 all together apart from the new toaster, kettle and microwave which was an early Christmas present because I had an epic fail at spray painting it. 

‘I put a lot of hours in, but I’m totally In love with the colours.’   

The mother-of-twins was praised by friends who called the project ‘stunning’ and teased they would be heading to the same shops as her to replicate the renovation. 

‘Wow babe!!! What a fab job. Well done you. I love it so much’, enthused one, while a second penned: ‘Work tops looks lovely. You have done a lovely job. All of your kitchen looks lovely.’

In the original caption, the thrifty homeowner told how she used just £6-a-roll vinyl to modernise the worktops, and paid £8 for cupboard paint from B&M.

Her jars were a bargain at £1, while she upcycled her old clock with leftover vinyl and some sticky foam numbers.

She continued: ‘Utensils, holders, door handles, upcycled using Rustoleom rose gold spray paint £7 the range.’

‘Tiles, 3d stickers from eBay, £8.99 for 10, used 2 packs of photo frames £2 each from the range.’
