With money tight for most homeowners amid the cost of living crisis, DIY is a great way to save money on home renovations. One mum has now revealed how she saved herself around £700 after making her own kitchen island.
Rosie Roberts, 56, took on the DIY project after convincing her husband Mark Roberts, 52, that they should get rid of their kitchen table and chairs and replace this with a stylish kitchen centrepiece.
The savvy mum spent months searching for the perfect unit, which needed to be the same height as the rest of their kitchen surfaces. Rosie eventually struck gold when she came across a second-hand oak cupboard on Facebook Marketplace for just £40.
