THE cost of living crisis is making us all a bit strapped for cash.
Which means revamping your home may be the last thing on your list due to affordability.
But that doesn’t mean to say it’s not achievable as one DIY fan proves.
The woman, who goes by the name of renovationhq on TikTok, managed to completely transform her staircase for less than £50.
She shared a video of the renovation to her 19.2k followers and captioned it: “We were too cash strapped when doing our renovation to afford a new staircase.
“So it’s the DIY treatment costing a mere £40.”
