I hated my kitchen so came up with a cheap way to change it…I thought it would be temporary but it held up 4 years later | The Sun

A WOMAN has revealed that she hated the way her kitchen looked, so she decided to come up with a budget way to change it.

While she thought it would be temporary, four years later, Sophie’s kitchen looks as good as ever.



Posting on social media, DIY fan Sophie shared a clip showing off her kitchen before, during and after its transformation. 

She posted her video with the caption ‘When I did this, I thought it was going to be temporary for a year or two. Four years on, it's still going strong. Do I regret doing it?…… Definitely not.’

Sophie then shared a clip of her dated kitchen, prior to its much-needed overhaul, as she asked: “Do you hate your kitchen but can’t afford a new one just yet?”

Shortly after, she noted: “This is how I changed mine on a budget.”

She then explained: “I painted everything, including my tiles, cupboards and worktops using a good primer and durable paint.

“It lasted so well and still looked like this 15 months later.”

Sophie then shared a close-up look at her finished kitchen – which was now extremely modern and chic.

The brown cupboards had been given a white, fresh new look and the colourful backsplash was nowhere to be seen.

However, she noted that she had then made further changes, as she added: “But the good thing about it being painted was when I got bored I could change it again.

“So this time I repainted the worktop and cupboards, changed the handles, had a go at changing the tiled backsplash, changed my tap and added some LED strip lighting.”

Showing off her now upgraded space – the white worktops were now black, the handles had been upgraded and she had a stunning backsplash too. 

Sophie then penned: “So if you hate your kitchen, why not give it a little makeover.

“You may just end up loving it.” 

Sophie’s TikTok clip, which was shared under the username @sophies.home.life, has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly amassed a staggering 439,200 views.

Social media users were left stunned at the budget DIY overhaul and many took to the comments to express this. 

One person said: “Wow, you did an incredible job!”

Another added: “It looks amazing, well done!”

A third commented: “It turned out really beautiful, you inspire me to do mine… hopefully it turns out that good.”
