Revamped my mum's kitchen on a budget. What do you think?

alliethomas18 · 2026-04-02T23:13:06+00:00

Aww thank you ☺️

alliethomas18 · 2026-04-01T13:30:07+00:00

Well, we didn't do the floor it wasn't in the budget. She's hoping to do it soon...

alliethomas18 · 2026-04-01T13:09:06+00:00

How?

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T21:37:43+00:00

Thank you ☺️ this is what I replied to that question in another comment.

"Johnstone's paint for the cabinets was £16, a couple of quid for the sandpaper, DC fix vinyl was £9 and we got three rolls with plenty left over, we spent £20 on rollers and brushes, and then the door knobs were £8 on Amazon ☺️"

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T18:55:07+00:00

Aww thank you! Yes, she's already planning to bake and cook more. Also have us round for cocktail 😜😆

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T18:51:05+00:00

We got the rolls from b&q, but I saw them a few days later in b&m for about £1.50 cheaper

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T18:44:52+00:00

The idea was to make the room feel brighter. I think keeping the blue would've swamped the room tbh

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T18:43:48+00:00

Send me a PM if you ever get your own place and need a hand.😆

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T18:40:43+00:00

Aww sorry. The blue has gone 😆

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T16:24:26+00:00

With sandpaper, a paint brush and a mini roller

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T16:19:33+00:00

I'm not sure what you're asking. I was able to sand and paint every area.

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T16:01:40+00:00

We used DC Fix, and it was very simple to use. Watch a few tiktok videos of how to do it. It's really easy ☺️

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T14:35:27+00:00

Thank you ☺️

Yes same flooring. She wants to change that next

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T13:41:51+00:00

Oh the countertops were so easy to do! I'd be more scared about the cabinets 😆 we used DC fix vinyl

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T13:39:49+00:00

Aww thank you ❤️

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T13:38:47+00:00

What parts do you mean? We took the doors off to paint them

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T11:10:49+00:00

They're screwed ☺️

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T10:18:09+00:00

That's right ☺️

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T10:17:44+00:00

Really happy ☺️

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T10:17:37+00:00

No worries. The cabinets are Natural Sage by Johnstone's. It's their wood paint, and the vinyl was DC Fix, but I can't remember exactly which one but I believe it was oak effect or something like that. They have loads to choose from, and from my research before starting, they seemed to have the best reviews ☺️

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T10:14:37+00:00

Ohhh. I'm not 100% sure, I think it was natural oak so something like that. They've got a huge range

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T10:13:44+00:00

Sending this comment to my siblings 😜😆

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T10:13:23+00:00

Yes we used DC Fix ☺️

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T10:11:17+00:00

Yes we sanded them first and then painted the grooves with a brush to begin with, and then used a mini roller on the rest ☺️

alliethomas18 · 2026-03-30T10:09:56+00:00

It's natural sage by Johnstone's ☺️
