Kitchen before and after: ‘I changed the worktops and splash back to quartz instead of wood, changed the sink from silver to white, got a gold tap instead of silver and painted the silver details gold’ Olamide explained
With a £20,000 budget, Olamide also made-over her kitchen, en-suite bathroom, bedroom, and an open wardrobe and office.
The aspiring interior designer made sure her home was dripping in gold, white, and marble.
‘I stayed at my family’s home until everything was completed in July,’ Olamide explained.
‘Most of the work was done in one month and a second month was just for finishing touches.’
After posting the pictures online, fans described the room as ‘beautiful’ and ‘amazing’.

Finishing touches: Olamide explained she focused on finishing touches such as flowers
‘This is probably the least exciting but the most practical room and something I’ve always wanted’ Olamide explained. ‘I converted the secondnd bedroom into an open wardrobe and office. I call it my “cloffice”. Using one room for multiple purposes is always a constructive choice’
