Social media users were left totally divided by Jamie's festive kitchen

Not only is the outside of her council house pink, but she’s also got a pink shed and a pink garden fence too.
The mother, who has a pink bathroom and one of her daughters has an impressive Barbie-themed bedroom, recently took to social media to show off her jaw-dropping kitchen overhaul.
With Christmas just 37 days away, Jamie has wasted no time and has given her kitchen an epic festive transformation.
Jamie, who lives in a large three bedroom house in Chelmsford, shared a close-up look at her stunning Christmas decorations online, leaving many open-mouthed.

Posting on , a public Facebook group with 396,800 members, Jamie penned: “Finally finished my gingerbread kitchen.”
Thrilled with her kitchen’s festive theme, Jamie added: “I’m just a little bit in love, my baby loves it.”
She then sent a stern message to trolls as she continued: “Please save your nasty comments for yourself.
“Not to everyone’s taste but it’s not everyone’s house, it’s mine and we are all happy.”

Jamie then confirmed that to transform her kitchen, she nabbed bargains from a range of supermarkets and high-street stores, including Asda, B&M, Home Bargains, The Range, Tk Maxx and Homesense.
The DIY fan, who recently revealed that she has spent thousands of pounds giving her home a pink makeover and is now looking to move house, explained that she bought most of her festive finds, including huge gingerbread cutouts, gonks, bows and hanging Christmas trees, in recent months.

Not only is Jamie’s kitchen full of pink appliances, including a pink fridge, a pink washing machine and a pink tumble dryer, but she’s also kitted out the room with a huge array of festive ornaments - from Christmassy mugs and chopping boards to festive glasses, signs and plush toys.
Are the Christmas bits out earlier this year?
It often feels like Christmas decorations and products start appearing in stores earlier each year.
Retailers typically begin to stock Christmas items well before the holiday season to capitalise on early shoppers and to extend the buying period. Here are a few reasons why it might seem like Christmas bits are out earlier this year:
Extended Shopping Season
Retailers aim to extend the holiday shopping season to maximise sales. By putting out Christmas items earlier, they encourage people to start their holiday shopping sooner.
Consumer Demand
Some consumers prefer to plan and shop for Christmas well in advance, so stores cater to this demand by stocking holiday items earlier.
Marketing Strategy
Early displays of Christmas items can create a festive atmosphere and build anticipation, encouraging people to get into the holiday spirit and start spending.
Competition
Retailers compete to attract customers, and being the first to display holiday items can give them an edge.
Supply Chain Considerations
Given recent disruptions in global supply chains, stores might be putting out Christmas items earlier to ensure they have enough stock and to spread out the demand over a longer period.
The busy mum then confirmed: “Most of it brought this year.
“Lots has been painted pink by me.”
Big divide
Jamie’s Christmas makeover has clearly left many totally stunned, as it has quickly racked up over 930 likes and 430 comments.
But social media users were left divided by Jame’s Christmas makeover - whilst some thought it was ‘stunning’, others weren’t so keen.
