A thrifty homeowner has completed a stunning DIY kitchen makeover, saving herself £5,000. The young mother was quoted a high price by professionals for a new kitchen and decided to take on the project herself. She sourced products from a couple of stores in the local area and completed the makeover in just three weeks. Her friends and family are amazed at the transformation. “It’s unbelievable what she’s done – it looks like a completely different kitchen,” said one admirer. “She’s really proved that you don’t need to spend a fortune to get a beautiful result.”
The newcomer to DIY kitchen projects, which included stylish new cabinets and sleek modern handles, is urging homeowners not to be afraid of doing their renovations, as there are many money-saving tips available online. With careful planning and basic skills, anyone can create a beautiful new kitchen on a budget.
After sharing before and after photos in a Facebook group, the homemaker was urged to provide a comprehensive flow of the work process, which transformed her kitchen for a lower price than she was quoted. Some group members asked the homeowner to name and shame the renovation company which quoted her such a high price, but the young mum doesn’t plan on discounting that information.
However, spurred on by the shock of the high price and armed with a shopping list inspired by home renovation projects on YouTube and home décor websites, she set about bringing her dream kitchen to life.
Some cabinets, a new worktop, a more vibrant choice of paint and some finishing touches like handles, shelving and accessories are all you need to create a fabulous kitchen that is as stylish as it is functional.
The mother of two said, “I had some help from my brother in installing the cabinets, but I tackled the rest. I even had my kids helping with the paint work! If you shop around, and you don’t need the latest seasonal trends, you can have a brilliant kitchen at a fraction of the price.”
The after photos of the kitchen have been a hit on social media and have gone viral outside of the initial group they were posted in. With likes in their thousands and requests for the mum to come around and do other people’s kitchens, there is a hope that people will realise DIY projects can look as professional as expensive projects undertaken by building firms.
While the homeowner has plans to renovate other rooms in her house, hopefully at the same price level, for now, she aims to relax and enjoy the fruits of her hard work and money-saving ways.
