I was quoted over £1k for a breakfast bar but DIY’d it for £16 with scrap wood – everyone says it looks so professional 

YOU don’t need to spend a fortune on new pieces of furniture to transform a space. 

One woman took to Facebook to share her DIY kitchen breakfast that she made after being quoted over £1000 for just materials.

Kerred Anne took to the DIY On a Budget Offical group with several photos of the finished result. 

The caption read: “I wanted a breakfast bar but I was quoted over a £1000 just for the wood.  

“I went to an auction and bought some dried kiln (can’t remember which wood) bought 2 industrial legs and stools. 

“Sanded the wood, stained and waxed it and got it fixed to the wall and added the legs.  

“Surprised at how lovely it turned and it was so cheap to do.

“But this is the finished result with help from my mum!” 

In the comments section, Kerred was asked: “How much did u end up paying for the wood I want work tops like this too it’s looks so natural I love it great job.” 

She replied: “I bought in an auction for £16. All together it cost me around £90. 

“I had the stain and wax which my mum gave me.Thank you very much.”

Everyone else loved Kerred’s handiwork. 

One commented: “That is absolutely stunning well done you.” 

“Looks like you have paid the moneys for a professional to do it,” another said. 

A third wrote: “That’s gorgeous, I love it.”

Someone else said: “Looks great, always better when we do it ourselves. Some people are a rip off. Well done.” 

As for how Kerred made her new kitchen breakfast bar, after choosing the right piece of wood and treating it, she screwed in a couple of legs and then attached it to the wall. 

These style of rustic breakfast bars are being sold on Etsy for several hundreds of pounds.
