As a result, she used bargain buys from Temu and Amazon to create the ultimate “council country kitchen”. Keen to show off a before and after look at her pad, Morg took to social media to share her impressive overhaul, leaving many open-mouthed. Posting on DIY On A Budget, a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, alongside snaps of her kitchen, which is now incredibly trendy and chic, Morg penned: “I have been decorating my ‘council kitchen’ as when we moved in it really needed some TLC.”.

Morg revealed that the “cupboards didn’t match, cupboard doors had been hot glue gunned on and it just wasn’t very homely.”. She continued: “I’m obsessed with country kitchens so this was my spin on it!”. Not only did Morg give the space an upgrade thanks to a lick of paint and some vinyl wrap, but she also used purse-friendly stick-on tiles too.

She then added: “Definitely not perfect but ok for on a budget! Let me know what you think.”. Morg later confirmed that she used Hessian Rust-Oleum kitchen cupboard paint, which you can buy from B&Q, Dunelm and Robert Dyas, to transform her cupboards.
