Asha, from the UK, took to social media to reveal her new utility room with its swanky new flooring.

She revealed she had lots of home inspiration saved on Pinterest, and her husband was kind enough to make it a reality in their new home.
One of the home designs she wanted to recreate was a herringbone stone-tiled floor, but it was a little too pricey for Asha.
So she decided to get the same results on a budget with a B&Q buy.
She headed to the store and found the Herringbone Natural stone Mosaic tile sheets for £9 a pack.
Crafted with real tumbled travertine, these Beige Stone-effect Herringbone Mosaic tile sheets provide a natural stone finish.
She said: "We bought them in store and they are advertised as wall and floor tiles."
The DIY whizz measured the tiles to her floor before sticking them down.
After, she and her husband used the MAPEI Flexible wall & floor grout in colour Ivory, which she also bought from B&Q for £9.50.
It was the perfect addition to the flooring, which brought out the different beige shades of the tiles.
"(I) Love them! So happy how they turned out. Would 100% recommend, Asha added.
I used cheap Temu tiles to get a herringbone bathroom while saving for a reno - they're good as new 4 months later
The clip was shared to her TikTok account @ asha.kr.george and went viral with over 224k views and 3,000 likes.
People loved the new floor and said they could hardly tell it wasn't real stone.
One person wrote: "Oh no, what have you done?! I didn't need to see this, they're just so pretty and I need them in my kitchen!"
Another commented: 'Brill! You've done a great job. It looks ace."

Rare sale sees autumn's most popular Ugg boot reduced by 20%
Now is the time to get your Ugg boots before they sell out Every autumn, there's one shoe brand that dominates, and this year it's UGG's boots. In particular, the brand's Classic Ultra Minis are set for sell-out success. The ankle-skimming boot has become one of the brand's most-wanted style, loved by fashion experts and shoppers alike for its low profile that works with literally everything in your wardrobe. And the best part is this boot has just been given a rare 20% off saving, making them £115.99 for a limited time. The cropped height makes them look great with wide-leg jeans and oversized knits as well paired with linen trousers and shorts for the transitional weather, They've been spotted on everyone from Kendall Jenner to Kaia Gerber, and with the 'model-off-duty' aesthetic showing no signs of slowing down for autumn 2025, it's no surprise they're the pair shoppers keep buying again and again. Made from UGG's signature plush suede with a cosy sheepskin lining, the Ultra Mini is practical and stylish. The lightweight sole makes them easy for all-day wear, while the cushioned insole gives that cloud-soft comfort UGG has always been known for. They're treated with a water-repellent finish, too -meaning autumn showers don't have to spell disaster- and the pull tabs at the back make slipping them on and off simple. The hype is real. Last autumn, sizes vanished before October was even over. TikTok styling hacks only fuelled the demand, with videos racking up millions of views showing off new ways to wear them. This year's discount has only made the rush worse, so if you're tempted, we'd reccomend not overthinking it. Now seems to be the best time to score some good deals on new-season shoes. New Look, for example, has dropped the perfect alternative to Prada's Logo Suede Trainers with the Tan Suede Lace Up Trainers. Priced at £39.99, the shoes have a similar look and design to the luxury pair, but are perfect for getting the designer look without breaking the bank. Brown suede trainers are one of the most effortless ways to bring a luxurious feel to even the most casual outfits, and they're great for adding a bit of chicness to a simple jeans and T-shirt. Despite their ultra-affordable price tag, the New Look trainers are actually made from real suede, which makes them soft, durable and gives them a more high end look.

Zoo asks for help naming its red panda cub
Members of the public are being invited to help name a critically important new arrival at Bristol Zoo Project: an endangered red panda cub whose birth marks a significant step in conservation efforts for the species. The female cub, born to first-time parents Neora and Laya on 26 June, has recently undergone her initial veterinary health check, confirming she is healthy and feeding well. Weighing 780g, she has been cared for by her mother, Laya, within nest boxes in the red panda habitat. Now almost two months old, the cub is anticipated to begin exploring her surroundings beyond the boxes. Nigel Simpson, head of zoo animals at Bristol Zoo Project, highlighted the significance of the birth, stating: "We are all thrilled to see Neora and Laya's new cub thriving." He added: "As a first-time mum, Laya has done a fantastic job of caring for her cub and ensuring it is safe, fed and well. This is a huge conservation win for this endangered species. The wild population is thought to be as low as 2,500 individuals, threatened by habitat loss and poaching." The cub's parents arrived at the zoo in 2024 as part of the EAZA's critical breeding programme, making her arrival "very special indeed." To celebrate the new arrival, the zoo is inviting the public to help choose a name for the cub. Keepers have shortlisted three options: Asha, meaning 'hope' in Nepali/Sanskrit; Banita, meaning 'cherished' in Nepali/Sanskrit; and Malika, meaning 'flower bud' in Nepali.

Bereaved Plymouth student celebrates GCSE results
A teenager who lost four family members in 12 months has passed her GCSEs and secured her place in further from Plymouth, said her dad, two grandparents and her cousin had died in the last who was 15 when her dad died in August 2024, said he was a "real character." On Thursday, the now 16-year-old opened her results praising a Barnardo's partnership service for providing a "safe place" that helped make her exam success possible. She said "there was nobody else like" her dad. "It had been really difficult going back to school after dad died."So in December, when I had my second round of GCSE mock exams, I was really trying to focus. "It felt like there was a lot of pressure to succeed."She said she "just couldn't believe it" when her nan died, shortly after her dad's death. Lilli said she tried to see the new year as an opportunity to move forward. However her grandad died in March 2025."After my dad and nan died I'd started to realise how precious time was, so I'd often go up and see him [grandad] after school. "I was supposed to be seeing him that day, but then my teacher pulled me out of my English mock exam, and I went outside to see my mum there crying. "I didn't know what to do - I was just numb. The third death in less than a year. I couldn't believe it."Lilli's family experienced another loss when her cousin died in July 2025. Lilli said after she received her results she had secured her place at sixth form and would study drama, criminology and sociology."I used to think I wanted to be a lawyer when I grew up," she said. "But now I think I'd like to help young people – just like people at the Takeaway Tuesdays service have helped me. Takeaway Tuesdays is supported by Barnardo's and the Co-op and is where young people prepare meals and eat together."I don't know what I would have done without it," added Lilli.
