A savvy woman named Katie Fry has shared how she gave her plain kitchen a stunning pink overhaul, without burning a hole in her purse.
Thrilled with her home’s fresh new feel, Katie took to social media to show others, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on DIY On A Budget Official, a private Facebook group with a staggering 2.2 million members, Katie shared before and after pictures of her kitchen and penned: “Did my council kitchen to make it work for us and make it pretty.”
Katie, who moved into her home eight months ago, then added: “I do have permission from my council due to the kitchen being replaced in three years.”
What was once very plain – with brown cupboards and grey flooring – has now been totally transformed into a unique space – with pink cupboards, a stunning pink splashback and trendy brown flooring.
The savvy mum, from Witley, then explained: “Cabinet colour is Little pink by Rust-oleum wood and cabinet paint.”
To keep the costs low, Katie shared: “Shelves are old scaffolding boards my husband got from our local dump.”
Katie later revealed that she used tile stickers from Amazon to create a splash back and self-adhesive flooring, also from Amazon, to give her floor a fresh new feel.
Not only this, but she also explained that she nabbed her kitchen island from Argos.
Katie later told Fabulous: “It was a lot of work to get it to work for my family but [it was] worth it.”
Social media users were left open-mouthed at Katie’s kitchen overhaul and many took to the comments to express this.
One person said: “Absolutely stunning!”

A third commented: “Great job!!”
At the same time, someone else wrote: “I love your kitchen, it’s perfect.”
Meanwhile, another DIY fan shared: “Love the pink colour, kitchen is beautiful.”
Whilst another user asked: “Are you allowed to paint council units?”
To this, Katie replied: “Only if you get permission, as my kitchen is due to be replaced in three years, they granted it.”
Katie later penned: “Just want to thank everyone for your lovely comments.
“I really appreciate your kind words, thank you.”
