I’m a DIY fan known as the Blondie Builder & I gave my kitchen an overhaul using Dunelm & B&Q bargains…one buy was £6.50 | The Sun

A DIY whizz has taken to social media to show off her epic kitchen makeover that she carried out herself using bargain buys from high-street shops.

Clare Bryson, who is also known on social media by her username, @blondybuilder, wanted to give her plain kitchen a new look, but without breaking the bank. 



The mum-of-two is a mega DIY fan and while she works in A&E, she spends much of her free time getting her hands dirty with DIY projects.

She headed to The Range, Dunelm, B&Q and Wickes to get her supplies and took to TikTok to show off the process. 

In a clip shared to the video sharing platform, we saw Clare get to work on giving her plain kitchen a new lease of life.

She posted her video with the caption ‘Quick and affordable kitchen makeover to keep you going until you can afford a new one!’ and said: “Quick kitchen makeover for £90!”

She started out the renovation by painting the tired brown cupboards black. 

She explained that she used a matt black tile and brick paint, which she picked up for just £17 from Wickes.

After this, she moved onto the countertops.

The brown worktops were looking like they needed a bit of TLC, so Clare picked up a roll of vinyl wrap to give them an epic overhaul.
