RENOVATING any room in your home can break the bank, but kitchens can be especially pricey.
But this couple hit the jackpot when they came across their dream kitchen on Marketplace.
The entire thing only set the DIY fans back £50 – but they had to put in the hard work to make it fit their trendy vision.
Sharing the entire process on on the account @thestylepad_uk, the couple explained how the renovation began.
After finding the entire kitchen listed on Facebook Marketplace, they knew they had their work cut out, since they’d have to remove the entire kitchen from the previous owner’s home before moving it to their house 40 minutes away.
Everything had to be unscrewed and removed bit by bit, including heavy appliances.
Three trips with a trailer later and the entire kitchen had been moved into their extension, ready to be re-assembled.
“This was the part I started to regret my life choices,”; the DIY whizz explained in the viral video.
Of course, everything had to be totally reconfigured to fit the new space too, which took a lot of time and effort.
The couple got lucky again when they discovered their were throwing away a posh butler sink, which they nabbed for free.
The next step was to paint every single piece of cabinetry in a primer then in a trendy sage green colour.
They also added laminate countertops and splashbacks with a posh marble design, and even made a floating shelf and their own oven hood.
But the couple also wanted an island for their new kitchen, so found an rustic wooden table on Facebook Marketplace and gave it a much needed makeover.
The first problem was the table was far too short to be used as an island, so they added new legs to make it the right height.
The new kitchen island also got a new wood stain, a brass handle to hold tea towels and a matching marble top.
After everything was finished you’d never be able to tell the kitchen wasn’t professionally installed – and the DIY extras looked so posh too.
But the main win for the couple was the fact they saved so much cash by doing it all themselves.
After showing off the finished kitchen on TikTok people couldn’t believe how perfectly it all came together.
One said: “Good lord! I mean, that’s just incredible, you should go into business doing this.”;
A second agreed: “Amazing and fantastic to see a perfectly solid kitchen given a new lease of life.”;
“Stunning, looks incredible, like a £35k bespoke kitchen,”; another chimed in.
