Michaela, who posts under @mishkashoe, shared how she turned an old pergola into a dining space fit for the likes of the Duke and the Bridgerton family.
She shared: "Rainproofing our pergola... and going full BRIDGERTON with a vintage candelabra chandelier."
The first thing she did was all some plastic sheeting over the top, so the area could be enjoyed in all weather conditions.
After putting a dining set underneath, she added an elegant finishing touch which looked like it could be straight from the ton.
Michaela shared: 'To top it all off, we added a vintage candelabra chandelier and wrapped the whole pergola in fairy lights.'
She added some fake candles and some faux ivy to the chandelier, and it was ready for hosting her own fancy soiree.
Many people were hugely impressed with her simple, yet effective DIY.
Her video has racked up over 8,000 likes, and people were quick to comment on the clip.
One person wrote: 'This is what I want to do to mine.'
Another added: 'Walking to my husband so i can show him this…'
Tradesmen quoted me £2.5K to wrap my kitchen cupboards so I did it myself for £62 instead and it looks so good
And a third commented: 'That's a great job, looks fabulous.'
It's not the first time a homeowner has tried to recreate the Bridgerton look in their garden on a budget.
CURTAIN LOOK
One woman shared how she picked up two £10 shower curtains which she bought from Temu to give the illusion of an idyllic woodland glade.
She says: 'I turned an ugly wooden fence into a spectacular Bridgerton-style paradise using two plastic curtains and a staple gun.
"It transformed my garden. People even think the arches and fake gates are real.
'I got the idea when my next-door neighbour did it. Theirs has pink flowers cascading over a faux wall scene.
"When I saw it, I was amazed and because I rent my house, I can take it with me if I leave because it folds up.
'I am a fan of Bridgerton. The scene reminded me of the gardens in the show.'

I won a lottery prize & quit my job – people say I'm stupid & it's less than some people's wage but I have a good reason
Plus, how she has received cruel trolling following her win CASHING IN I won a lottery prize & quit my job – people say I'm stupid & it's less than some people's wage but I have a good reason Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LOTTO winner has revealed she's quit her job, despite raking in £120,000 in total. Olivia Love, who was previously on Universal Credit, scooped £10,000-a-month for a year alongside hubby Kevin last month.

Before this, the mum-of-four was earning just £800-a-month working in a supermarket's customer service kiosk. She was also on benefits to subsidise her eye-watering £1,800-a-month childcare costs and "dreaded" her council tax bill coming through. Olivia shared how numerous people have questioned why she decided to quit her job after winning just over £100,000 and have told her the decision is 'not wise'. More on lottery winners LOTTA LOTTO LOVE UK's youngest lottery winner finds love after split from boyfriend However, she explained that without getting help from Universal Credits towards childcare, it made sense for her to do it herself and save £1,800. She hit back in a clip, saying: 'Listen, buddy, listen. I gave up my job. Yes, because I earned £800 a month without the Universal Credit element of getting the cost of childcare paid for then I'm working for nothing. 'I still have to pay my childcare costs of £1,800 a month. 'I'm sick and tired of having to explain this to people.' She shared how she hopes to start her own wedding content creation business, instead of just blowing through the money. Olivia added: 'That's using my weddings to change my life, to change my career. That's what I plan to do. I'm not gonna blow through the money and if you'd watched any of my videos you would know this. UK's youngest lottery winner splits with boyfriend and finds new love with gas engineer as they share snaps 'So what's not wise is to comment like this when you're not very well informed.' While some would be hesitant to broadcast the news, Olivia and her hubby Kevin have been speaking out about the life-changing prize in more detail on TikTok. Since going public with her win, Olivia has been giving social media users an inside peek at the life of a lottery winner. 5 Now Olivia has opened up about her winnings Credit: TikTok / @mrsolivialove However, she admitted that she's had some trolling about people - mainly men - who resent her win. In a TikTok clip (@mrsolivialove), she said: "When I won the lottery, I knew it would change my life. But I didn't expect how loud the internet would get. "With the win came judgement, assumptions and a lot of hate. Especially from men who can't stand to see a woman win. "Just for being proud of my life. For spreading hope and positivity. For being proud of what this win does for my children. 5 Olivia has quit her job at a local supermarket and hopes to build her dream career in wedding content creation Credit: ALAN PEEBLES PHOTOGRAPHY LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT Set For Life offers a top prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years when the five main numbers and the Life Ball are matched. Players can also win £10,000 a month for a whole year by matching the five main numbers. Olivia revealed she did six lucky dips at £1.50 each on the app, with one of them bagging the second tier prize of the cash for a year. She's never played her own numbers, explaining: 'I've always had the fear that if you did play your own numbers the one time you didn't play it, that would be the time your numbers came in.' She was shocked when she received an email from The National Lottery team at 12.33am on May 16 June that changed everything for this couple. However, she said it has changed her life for the better, saying: 'I feel like I can be more present now. Enjoy more moments. 'The stress I felt before stopped me enjoying the little things.' With the win came judgement, assumptions and a lot of hate. Especially from men who can't stand to see a woman win Olivia Love Recently, she documented her family's "first holiday as lottery winners" to North Wales with their four kids and Kevin's parents. They hired a stunning four-bedroom 17th century farmhouse for the week and spent just £2,202.06 in total including car rental, food, and accommodation. The winning numbers in the draw were: 03, 27, 42, 45, 46, plus Life Ball 06. Before she won, she had been playing sporadically for four to five months and would play when she had the 'notion to do it.' And despite winning, she still hasn't stopped buying lucky dips 'from time to time.' 5 She recently paid for a £2,200 holiday in Wales for her family Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk DOWNSIDE While buying items like her hubby's car has brought her 'so much joy', there are some downsides to the winnings. Olivia has had people message her to beg for money, with one saying: 'Can I have like £20,000 to pay my debts off?' As a result, the Lottery winner said: "I've got my dms very closed.' Since going public with her win, Olivia has hilariously joked about wiping away fake tears with £20 notes in response to cruel comments from trolls.

The Shocking Feud Between These Top Celebrity Podcasters
It was one of the most powerful pairings in podcasting. When Call Her Daddy powerhouse Alex Cooper brought TikTok darling Alix Earle into her newly launched production network Unwell, it was clear she was tapping the next generation of huge media stars to follow in her footsteps. But things didn't last when in March the podcast stopped and neither party said very much afterwards. So, what exactly went wrong? Now, six months after her podcast Hot Mess was cancelled, Earle, who has more seven million followers on TikTok, seems to have confirmed rumours of a feud between them. The 24-year-old left some telling comments on her TikTok channel. She posted a video from a car and said, 'My Co–Star told me that I can start s--- today,' referring to the popular astrology app. 'I mean, is this my time that I've been waiting for to go? I have so much information. We could go.' She went on, 'I wake up every day, and I'm like, "What should I do Co-Star?" And today, it's like, "Revenge. Let's go get 'em."' Things got more pointed when a fan left a comment saying, 'Yes, tell us what happened with Alex Cooper thank you.' She responded, 'How much time do you have?' Earle was one of the first people to be signed up to Unwell in 2023, and in March of this year the podcast stopped. Neither Cooper nor Earle gave a clear reason for why it was cancelled. Cooper responded to rumours of the feud on TikTok at the time, saying, 'Alix not being able to podcast has nothing to do with Unwell. [I don't know] why she can't/what's going on.' She also confirmed that Earle had full intellectual property rights over Hot Mess , meaning Unwell wasn't preventing her from resuming. But Cooper indicated that there was actually more to the story in May, two months after the cancellation, when she shared more about the decision to the Wall Street Journal : 'That was, behind the scenes, a little bit of a hot mess.' Earle has previously said she has 'plans to bring things back', but rather than bring the podcast back as was shared she wanted to focus on her YouTube channel. 'We have plans to bring things back, elevate things,' the 24-year-old explained. 'It might look a little different, but I'm excited to see what we do with it.'
