Posting on social media, the content creator gave her followers a close-up look at her recent transformation, leaving many open-mouthed.
What was once a plain glass window, has since been given a glow up thanks to a purse-friendly buy from Amazon.
And not only does it add style, but it also provides privacy too.
But if you thought that was it, think again, as this simple trick only takes a matter of minutes.
Sharing a short clip online, the savvy woman posted a before and after look at a small window at the top of her bathroom.
Using a Stained Glass Window Privacy Film, which Grace bought from Amazon for £15 at the time, she was able to turn the once dull window from drab to fab.
With this bargain buy, all you need to do is measure, cut, wet and apply.
It's said to be 'hassle-free', with 'no residue.'
According to the listing, this privacy film, which works best on glass windows, is 'made to endure with premium, resilient materials that resist wear.'
As well as being super vibrant with eye-catching patterns, it's sure to beautify your windows and leave your guests open-mouthed.
I was fed up of my council bathroom looking like a s--thole so transformed it with stick on tiles & an £80 shower screen
Alongside the clip, Grace penned: 'Did someone say dream window for under £15?'
Showing off the finished result, the influencer beamed: "Dreamiest transformation and literally took five minutes to do.'
Clearly overjoyed with the budget but effective privacy film, which requires no glue and is removable, Grace then added: 'Obsessed obsessed obsessed!'
Thanks to this budget product, which you can buy from Amazon in a variety of different styles, you'll not only add a unique touch to your space, but it can also be used to block the sun and for anti-glare purposes too.
As well as being used on indoor surfaces, it can also be added to outside spaces too.
DIY fans beam
Not only do we think that Grace's window transformation looks impressive, but it's clear that many others do too, as her TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ maisonbyem, has quickly racked up 182,500 views.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 11,800 likes, 46 comments and 1,889 saves.
DIY fans were stunned by the huge difference the adhesive-free film made and users eagerly flocked to the comments to express this.
One person said: 'Makes such a difference!'
Another added: 'You've outdone yourself with this one.'
A third commented: 'This is class! Looks so good.'
Meanwhile, someone else asked: 'Is it sideways?'
To this, Grace responded and wrote: 'Yes I suppose so! I think it could go either way tbh.'
But not everyone was as complimentary, as one user snapped: ' Tacky.'
However, clearly unbothered by the rude remark, the content creator wrote back and alongside a laughing face emoji, joked: 'Thanks babes.'

Coronation Street favourite will make a sensational return to the show as new Rovers Return landlord... as ITV strike back after EastEnders reinstated Kat Slater and Alfie Moon at the Queen Vic
Coronation Street bosses have taken action to ensure the show's infamous pub isn't outshone by EastEnders' reinstatement of Kat and Alfie Moon at the Vic. In a bid to ensure that soap fans' eyes are also on the Rovers Return, they have brought back Catherine Tyldesley, 41, (AKA Eva Price) as the pub's new sexy landlady. She will not be alone in catering to the drinking needs of Weatherfield and will be joined by Aaron McCusker, 46, who will play her new husband. An insider told The Sun: 'Corrie bosses were never going to take EastEnders ' shrewd decision to reinstate Kat and Alfie at the Vic lying down. 'So they took their time looking for the perfect actor to play her husband to Eva as she makes her return to Corrie as the new boss of the Rovers. 'When Aaron walked in, and once paired with Catherine, bosses knew they had the perfect partnership to run the soap's iconic pub.' Describing the pair's chemistry as 'electric', the insider noted that Aaron will bring his Irish charm to the pub as the pair put on a 'happy and loved-up' display. However, despite having all the friendliness associated with the Irish, the insider stressed that Aaron is not a character to be messed with. They added: 'It's the start of an exciting new chapter in the pub's history.' In case your memory needs refreshing, Cath left the show back in 2018 to pursue other acting opportunities and bosses have reportedly been trying to convince her to return for years. While Aaron is a newbie to the cobbles, fans might recognise him from the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, where he played Freddie Mercury's partner, Jim Hutton. The actor also made a name for himself in Shameless as Jamie Maguire. News of the latest change on the cobblestones comes after it was announced that the show had been pulling in record viewers after making one recent change. The change took place in October 2024, when the long-running show became available to view on ITVX from 7am on the day of broadcast. Describing the pair's chemistry as 'electric', the insider noted that Aaron will bring his Irish charm to the pub as the pair put on a 'happy and loved-up' display This meant that soap fans could either chose to tune in early or watch their favourite soaps at a time that better suits them. The decision to make the change came after BBC soap East Enders made a similar switch to iPlayer a few years ago. Following the change, both Corrie and Emmerdale, which also made the switch, have enjoyed a record 124 million streams in 2025's first quarter. This meant that there have been an impressive one billion streams on ITVX so far this year. To put the change into context, compared to this time last year, soap viewing has increased by 35 percent. ITV's Managing Director of Media and Entertainment Kevin Lygo said: 'We have totally transformed our streaming offer with ITVX over the past couple of years. 'All our teams internally, alongside the best producers in the business, have helped deliver these brilliant numbers, by producing, promoting and delivering this fantastic content to audiences to stream.'

Pamela Anderson breaks silence on Meghan Markle's 'rip off' show
Pamela Anderson has finally spoken out on viral claims Meghan Markle 'ripped off' her cooking show with Netflix series , With Love, Meghan. Fans of the Baywatch bombshell, 58, were left incensed when the former working Royal, 44, debuted her latest TV venture - which bore eerie similarities to Pamela's Cooking With Love, which premiered earlier this year on Prime Video. The Baywatch star Anderson opened up on Sunday's Watch What Happens Live! - with host Andy Cohen asking her: 'On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking with Love?' Anderson, who was appearing alongside new love and co-star Liam Neeson responded: 'One. I didn't - I didn't really look, but I mean, I didn't invent cooking shows' adding that Markle 'is just doing her thing.' The drama erupted when Prince Harry 's wife gave People magazine some of her top domestic tips ahead of the release of With Love, Meghan, in March. These included how to 'elevate' a normal dinner – such as after ordering a takeaway, for example. Citing Chinese as a favorite delivery option, Markle told the US magazine: 'I like being able to do a hybrid, but even when I get a takeout I will try to plate it beautifully.' And discussing her new trademark As Ever – after she failed to secure copyright branding for her original name, American Riviera Orchard – she insisted: 'It's a learning curve. 'I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out and also be forgiving with myself through that.' The two former TV stars live more than a thousand miles apart, yet both were smiling and giggling in brightly lit country kitchens, filming aspirational cooking with photogenic friends and famous celebrities. Both are seen carrying wicker baskets of fruit and vegetables picked from their gardens, dancing with joy, and gleefully high-fiving their celebrity guests. Both series are even the same length: eight episodes. When Meghan's first episode was shown, it prompted withering complaints that she had copied Pamela's winning formula. 'So similar it's freaky,' said one reviewer, while others branded Meghan's series 'inauthentic' and 'copycat'. More charitable observers might put this down to coincidence, as neither show seems to deviate from the wholesome template of many an aspirational cookery program. However, while Markle filmed her series last summer, with the first trailer making its debut in January, Anderson's was commissioned back in February 2023 by Canadian broadcaster Flavour Network. And its trailer has been available for all to see since last October. Last month it was claimed Markle and Prince Harry's hopes of a new Netflix deal are 'dead' after their two most recent shows flopped. Meghan's lifestyle show failed to break into Netflix 's top 300 programs for the first half of 2025 and was even thrashed by multiple seasons of Suits. A second season of With Love, Meghan, was announced by the Duchess herself as the first season came out in March this year as part of the couple's $100million deal with the streaming giant, which expires this year.

Nicki Minaj offers controversial NFL star $10m to fight her husband amid ugly online feud
Verbal sparring on social media has led to threats of fighting between a rap icon and a former NFL star over one of the biggest contract disputes in the sport. The Dallas Cowboys are in something of a standoff with star pass rusher Micah Parsons as negotiations on an extension continue to drag on. Parsons has even gone so far as to demand a trade away from Dallas for the lack of advancement on this front. In turn, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has blamed Parsons' representation - Roc Nation Sports - for the request. Roc Nation Sports was founded by Jay-Z and is under his 'Roc Nation' entertainment brand and record label. Jones pointed to a previous negotiation with the agent of Roc Nation client Dez Bryant to show an example of why he doesn't like dealing with representatives. This sparked Dez and Roc Nation to publicly deny the allegations. But it also attracted the attention of rap star Nicki Minaj - who has been in something of a beef with Roc Nation for years. Nicki Minaj's hatred for Roc Nation sparked a beef between her and Roc client Dez Bryant At one point, after Bryant brought up the prior conviction of Minaj's husband - Kenneth Petty -for attempted first-degree rape, the 'Superbass' rapper offered him $10million to fight her man Bryant accepted the offer saying he'd 'stomp out' Petty in front of her. Minaj hasn't replied. Minaj, who says she is owed money by Roc Nation, decided to insert herself into this football feud by replying to one of Bryant's posts. The pair traded GIFs from the 'Saw' horror movie franchise before Minaj suggested she has plenty of stories about the company, Jay-Z, and the company's executives. Bryant then responded with a video asking her to 'leave me out of' her beef with the company, saying 'I don't want no problems. I'm a huge fan. I hope you're having a great day.' Minaj didn't return the favor. In two separate tweets, she continued to bring up past indiscretions - including a time when Bryant allegedly assaulted his own mother. The former Cowboys pass catcher retorted, saying he never went to jail and didn't hit his mother, before bringing Minaj's husband - Kenneth Petty - into the conversation. Petty was previously sentenced to one-year of house arrest for failing to register as a sex offender stemming from a first-degree attempted rape in April 1995. In response, the 'Superbass' songstress escalated things further: 'I'm so happy you brought this up. I'll give you 10 million in cash if you'd come & fight him since you BEAT UR OWN MOM.' Bryant accepted the offer: 'I've been lied on my whole career so I'm not trying to hear all of that s**t..I thought we was speaking facts.. I don't play all of that funny s**t... go get that 10 million in cash.. I'll stomp that n**** out right in front of you.. and it's ROC for life b***h'. Minaj has not responded to Bryant's acceptance of her offer, but has continued to tweet about him and re-tweet her fans' shade thrown at the former wide receiver.
