HOME RENO I transformed my kitchen for £82 – people ask 'HOW' but a cheap B&M buy made all the difference A DIY-savvy woman has revealed how she completely transformed her tired-looking kitchen on a shoestring budget.

In her video, Charlotte explains that the kitchen 'definitely needed a little bit of love', so she rolled up her sleeves and got stuck in, determined to give it a new lease of life without breaking the bank. Kicking things off with a thorough clean, she scrubbed down every cupboard door and surface, making sure to get into all the gaps before sanding everything. She then grabbed a pot of cover paint from B&Q and started coating the cupboards. Read more on DIYs WE A-DOOR! DIY whizz shows how to make gorgeous headboard using an old GARAGE DOOR for £60 In a relatable DIY slip-up, Charlotte forgot to remove the handles before painting, which meant having to start again. As the transformation got underway, she confessed it didn't look great at first, calling it a real 'trust the process' project. But after a few more coats of paint- four in total - the space started to come together beautifully. The finishing touch was a game-changing stick-on laminate from B&M that only set her back £21. She said: "It's the stick on DC fix! It's like a laminate worktop in a roll, super cheap from B&M". She used it to cover the old worktops, instantly giving the kitchen a sleek, modern feel. The final result is seriously impressive. The once-drab kitchen now looks stylish and fresh and all for less than the cost of a weekly shop. Tradesmen quoted me £2.5K to wrap my kitchen cupboards so I did it myself for £62 instead and it looks so good Charlotte says she got all her other supplies from B&Q and spent just £82 all in, proving that budget retailers can be a goldmine for cheap and cheerful upgrades. Viewers couldn't believe the transformation, flooding the comments with praise. 'Wait the cupboards are painted?! Wow they look stunning,' one person wrote. Another added: 'Okay you've convinced me.' Others simply called it 'stunning' and said it looked 'so much nicer'. Charlotte's makeover is proof that you don't need a massive budget to create a big impact, just a bit of time, patience and a good nose for a bargain.
