A DIY fan has revealed how she transformed her garden shed using a pot of Wilko paint.
The woman, called Jenny, shared how she had given the tired structure an impressive glow-up with a £12 buy.
In the post, the social media user explained: "I first painted my shed a black ash by Cuprinol.
"But I realised I wanted a bit of a contrast, which is why I then added the beige after.
"This is 'coastal cliff' by Wilko and took two coats to cover the black."
The paint is currently available in the same shade on the store's website at £12 for a 2.5 litre pot.

Many suggested that Jenny should also paint the rest of the fencing to "enhance" then overall look.
However, she replied: "Moving house now so not up to us anymore."
Before painting your shed, or any other wood in the garden, homeowners should take B&Q's advice into consideration.
B&Q's "top tip" is to make sure the wood is "completely dry, so the best time to apply any paint, stain or treatment is after a dry spell and when no rain is expected for a few days".
