A Leeds mum-of-one has transformed her "bland, drab" kitchen into something out of a designer catalogue with upcycled materials and budget hacks.
Faye and her partner Anthony spent months hunting for good deals and the perfect furniture for their dream kitchen after moving into the new-build. Many of the items came from returned stores and sales - and one shelf is even a scaffold board that was left behind on the building site.
First-time buyer Faye said because it was a new-build, the house had "no character whatsoever" but it was the kitchen with the exposed brick and metal girder that sold the property to them. Faye said: "It gives the room a focal point and almost frames the doors into the garden.
