Mum transforms ‘tiny’ kitchen with £6 wood effect film from B&Q and a lick of paint – making it look instantly bigger
A MUM has transformed her “tiny” kitchen using £6 wood effect film – after prospective buyers told her it was “too small”.
Josie Wakeford’s house is up for sale but she’s been struggling to get a buyer, so decided to to roll up her sleeves and do some DIY.
It would have cost loads to get new cupboards, so the Mrs Hinch fan decided to top the surfaces with a ‘wood effect film’ she bought from B&Q for £6.
She then painted the doors with a ‘cotton satin’ coloured cabinet paint – which costs £36 but was reduced so “a lot cheaper at the time”.
Posting on Mrs Hinch Made Me Do It, she said: “Before and after wrapping and painting my very small kitchen.
“Had the house on the market for ages and the only feedback we ever get is the kitchen is too small.”
People are seriously impressed by the finished job.
Commenting on the post, one woman said: “Although you can’t do anything with the size what you have done has really made a difference.
