I completely transformed my council house kitchen for just £48 and here’s how you can too

A SAVVY DIYer completely revamped her tired and dowdy looking council house kitchen into a stunning and fresh haven and all on a budget of £48.56.

YouTuber MsTen Jos shared the stunning transformation in a video she uploaded to the site.

Initial her kitchen was dark and dingy with worn out cabinet doors.

Speaking about the old kitchen, she said: "It's very out-dated, I hate the colour now. I've had it for about seven years.

"It's something I had when I moved in and I've decided I just want an all white kitchen."

She started by painting the cabinet doors all white with Wilkinson's furniture and cupboard paint.

The paint cost her just £20 and she used a foam roller to apply two coats to the doors after an initial clean with sugar soap.

MsTen wanted to get subway backsplash tiles to cover her existing white tiles but decided against it as they were too costly for the project.

Instead she coloured in the grout in between her white splash back tiles a dark grey in order to give them a modern look.

She bagged the pen for just £3.99 from Amazon.

Next up the handy DIYer covered her dark work tops with marble contact paper to give the space a further lift.

She bought this for £6 for a roll from B&Q.

The "queen of bargains" then replaced all her small silver appliances like the toaster and kettle for white versions in line with the rest of the space.

Finally she found a deal on 22 kitchen cupboard handles for £12.49 on eBay so changed all of hers over.

Fellow DIY fans were blown away by the transformation with such limited funds.

"I love the tiles well I love it all you done amazing."

While a third agreed: "Wow that dark grout is genius, I have the same exact tile and will definitely purchase this grout pen, thanks."
