I transformed my ugly, tragic council house doors to...

A COUNCIL house mum-of-four has shown the bargain DIY transformation she completed to take her ugly, 's****y' interior doors to 'Instagram-worthy' for under £15. The home renovation vlogger has previously spoken candidly about her experience doing up her council home, which had been in such a bad state when she'd received it in 2023 she'd cried. She'd moved into the property with her disabled husband, who was previously an avionics technician in the army, their two sons and two daughters.

She previously told Fabulous the day the family moved in they found broken glass all over the floor, exposed wires and pregnancy tests and rubbish laying around the property. Forced to accept her dire situation, Rebekah started to post videos of her renovation progress online, and now has a whopping 32,000 TikTok followers. In her latest clip, she'd taken on the challenge of giving her egg box doors a major glow up, sick of how "tragic" and "depressing" they looked.

Initially hoping she could get away with just a lick of paint, Rebekah soon realised this wasn't going to be a quick cover-up job. Using "cheap wood trim from B&Q" to complete her "glorified glueing and sticking project," the savvy mum set to work. Whipping out a measuring tape, Rebekah got to work sizing up the door, making sure she didn't overlap any of her DIY with her door handles. She then used her measurements to cut out two long and two short pieces of wooden trim, ready to be stuck directly onto her door to create a mock panelling effect.

Opting to start from the top of the door and work her way down, Rebekah used a spirit level to keep everything neat and straight. She then used a small amount of caulk to seal the edges of her wooden trim together, creating a neat rectangle shape on the face of her door. Using leftover chalk paint, she covered the door in a beautiful trendy forest green colour. She revealed to followers in the comments that her project had cost her just £13 in total.

"And just like that we've gone from tragic, brown council house doors to somewhat worthy of an Instagram photo," she told viewers triumphantly. Rebekah's fans gushed over her hard work in the comments. "Great idea! it's all coming together beautifully, you are doing an awesome job," one said. "You’re doing so well," another affirmed. "You wanna come do my house when your done? 'Cause I'm pretty sure after this you can call yourself a professional," another said.
