A DIY whizz has taken to social media to show off her epic fireplace makeover that she carried out herself on a budget.
Clare Bryson, who is also known on social media by her username, @blondybuilder, wanted to give her dated fireplace a new look, but without breaking the bank.
The mum-of-two is a mega DIY fan and while she works in A&E, she spends much of her free time getting her hands dirty with DIY projects.
In a clip shared to the video sharing platform, we saw Clare get to work on giving her old fireplace a new lease of life.
She shared her clip with the caption ‘Quick and easy fireplace makeover!’ and filmed herself getting to work.
She said: “Easy fireplace makeover with a lick and a spray of paint, in just a few hours.”

In the video, we saw Clare use a Zinsser 1-2-3 primer over grout paint, to paint the crevices of the fireplace.
Once this was done, she then used a Maston spray paint in sandstone effect to spray the bricks around the fireplace.
To finish it off, she gave the inside of the fireplace a freshen up with a black spray paint and then used a grey paint to go around the edges.
Once complete, Clare showed off the finished look which was extremely impressive.
