I transformed my bland council kitchen with Home Bargains haul – everyone's loving the fresh look and it only cost £76 | The Sun

A SAVVY mum has transformed her bland council kitchen into a monochrome dream – and she did it all on a tight budget.

Caela McSorley, from Ayrshire, spent £76 in Home Bargains on her DIY project.



The NHS worker said she hated the "rotten" orange units and beige colour scheme in the room.

To give it a fresh look, she painted the walls and units white and wrapped the worktops in black vinyl.

Caela spent £17 on the paint, £3 on a roller and £12 on vinyl.

She also forked out £44 on black vinyl tiles to create a splashback behind all the main units for a sleek finish.

And she completed the kitchen transformation in just over 48 hours.

Caela told the Scottish Sun Online: "It took me two days to paint the cupboard and two hours to do the tiles. 

"It feels more bright and cleaner.

"It makes a big difference in the morning especially when the sun is shining through."
