A DIY fan has shared a wonderful bathroom transformation using bargain buys from Wickes and Aldi.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The DIY fan said she has just 11 days and \u00a315 to complete her renovation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
In a TikTok video online Natasha said: \u201cTurning my council house into a home so this is day seven of 11 of what I can get done before I go back to work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Natasha said she limited herself to \u00a315 spending money for her bathroom renovation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I still have \u00a315 left of my budget and that's for my bathroom. I thought I'd get some vinyl and do the floor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before tackling the floors Natasha went over her ceiling paint with crown walls & ceilings matt emulsion from Wickes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI also picked this up from Wickes. It was \u00a32 and I just used it to go any bits that I\u2019ve gone over. I literally used the tiniest concealer brush to neaten up the edges."<\/p>\n
Natasha revealed she hated her bathrooms old look<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThis job has been long coming for a while because I absolutely hate my bathroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even though she hated her old bathroom vinyl Natasha said it seemed like it didn't want to go\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSo I ripped up the old like vinyl stuff off the floor and it just had paint on it and everything it just needed to go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI was just so glad to see a goal but because of the adhesive the glue was just ridiculous so I just had to clean it all up and sweep it all up ready to put the vinyl down.\u201d<\/p>\n FABULOUS FIVER: SPEND \u00a35 AND GET A \u00a325 WELCOME BONUS<\/strong><\/p>\n "So this is a colour I went for I thought it looks so nice with the green and they obviously the marble as well."<\/p>\n Natasha admitted she did wish she had planned her renovation a bit better.\u00a0<\/p>\n She said: \u201cI will see this was a lot harder than the benches. In hindsight I would have done it crossways over not like a long strip but it took quite a while to get around the sink and just to kind of make sure that I've got everything kind of where I needed\u00a0 it to be.\u201d<\/p>\n Natasha said she had picked up some tricks along the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIf you've got like diagonal lines along the side it just makes it easy to cut around the Edge and I did speed up the process but it did still take quite a while.\u201d<\/p>\n Natasha said she would be going over the edges of her flooring with sealant.<\/p>\n \u201cI just trimmed down the little pieces on the edge and I am going to use like a bathroom sealant but I'm gonna use that just to do the floor just so it doesn't get wet or anything.\u201d<\/p>\n But she added she is hoping the fact that her bathroom only has a toilet and sink.<\/p>\n Unfortunately Natasha material came just a little short of the size of her bathroom so she is hoping to find someone who can lend her some spare vinyl.\u00a0<\/p>\n She said: \u201cBut then I came across the problem and didn't have enough to finish. If by any chance anyone has any off cuts of this particular material and colour please let us know because I begrudge paying \u00a310 for just a tiny piece.\u201d<\/p>\n Lastly Natasha decorated her bathroom with some items she already has as well as some bargain Aldi buys.\u00a0<\/p>\n She said: \u201cSo I put me daily put me clock up and then I just found some little gold accessories that I just had around the house. I got this burner for 99 pence like this is from Aldi like how goods that?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/picture>\n
