A DIY fanatic has revealed how she transformed her parents' dull kitchen using bargains from WILKO – and it cost her just £100.
Home transformations can often be costly – but one savvy shopper, Larna Andrews, managed to give her parents' kitchen a new look spending a mere £100.
Larna, who surprised her mum and dad with the glow-up whilst they had gone on a holiday, shared the makeover on TikTok.
With just over a week left until they returned, the daughter first headed to Wilko where she nabbed loads of bargain bits on the cheap, including handles for under £2.
''First things first, I decided to replace the spray-painted handles with these handles cause I thought how bad would it be if the spray-painted handles chipped?''
For the most part, she said in the video, replacing the old handles was a relatively easy process, apart from one door where the screw seemed to have been stuck.

Once done, Larna, who posts under the username @larnaandrews, moved onto the next step – changing the walls.
Here, she had decided to use self-adhesive tiles in stunning stone grey.
''This took me so long – it took me about six to seven hours just because they were so many annoying nooks and crannies and plug sockets.
''Oh my gosh, it was so annoying,'' Larna told her followers on the platform.
