She managed to transform it for less than £100[/caption]
She said: “I said at the moment to keep the cost down, I’m just going to do a quick DIY fix for the time being so the items I’m using are from B&Q.”
Before she got stuck into the job, her kitchen looked dark and outdated with dark brown cupboards and black countertops.
But she was able to breathe some new life into it for just £100.
She first bought some marble stick on vinyl which costs just £8 a roll and she used three in total.
Becky also bought some black spray paint for her cupboard handles for £12.50 to give them a more modern feel.
On top of that, she bought a tin of white paint for £34 which she used to paint her cupboard doors.
Becky said it obviously would cost a lot more to get her kitchen redone, so settled on a quick fix instead.
She first began by sanding down the cupboard doors and removing the handles before painting them white.
The DIY whizz then sprayed the silver handles black for an elevated look.
“I love the matte black handles on the white, I think it just finishes it off perfectly,” she added.
After she applied the marble-effect vinyl to her countertops and the kitchen was complete.
Becky was thrilled with what she accomplished on such a tight budget, adding “It just looks overall so much nicer.”
The video shared to her YouTube account was a hit with over 15k views.
People were quick to congratulate her on the transformation and said it made such a difference.
