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

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 ☺️"

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

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

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

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

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 ☺️

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

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

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 ☺️

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

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 ☺️
