A savvy mum has transformed a drab space in her garden into a tranquil paradise by spending just £15 on Amazon.

The mum-of-two posted images of the end result in a bargains Facebook group and has been showered with praise.

"After seeing a post yesterday about the shower curtains well we ordered it and came today," she said. "Absolutely love it we’ve ordered another one so cosy."
Her photos show how the 'Sunny Seaside Garden' curtain, fixed to her fence, has created an idyllic backdrop to her garden furniture.
Limited to what she's allowed to do to her rented property, Kelly told the Manchester Evening News, it seemed like a good option to make the best of the space.
"We just had brown fences there," she said. "I'm so pleased with the result. At first I thought it would look tacky, but when it arrived the quality was really good."
The childminder, who lives with her two children and husband in Warwickshire, used a staple gun to attach it to the fence and said she'd recommend ironing on a low heat before putting one up.
Among the replies to her post were comments from people saying they've done the same thing, including one who used a stone wall and window scene to cover her shed.
There are all kinds of designs to choose from, with everything from forest scenes and floral backdrops, to beaches and waterfalls.
