The bargain hunter revealed she totally transformed her bland new build bathroom for just £100.
She said: “Before and after of my colour-drenched downstairs toilet. Cost about £100.
“I’m in a new build, so my house is still very plain, so it’s great having something so daring hidden in this small room. It does shock people who are unaware.”
Maria then went on to list all of the products she used to complete the DIY makeover.
She splashed out on the paint colour using two tins of Farrow & Ball in Haugue Blue.
Once the bathroom was painted she then went on to accessorise it using eBay to snag a mirror, new tap, towel and toilet roll holders for a bargain price.
Once the goods were secured she used a gold spray paint to cover the chrome accessories for a more modern look.
Finally she decorate the walls using ‘pictures’ in the form of free wallpaper samples and photo frames from Ikea she already had in storage.
Maria even painted the door and skirting boards in the same blue colour for a maximalist look.
She continued: “The door and skirting boards did take about five coats. The walls were two.”
The post soon went viral on the Facebook group, DIY On A Budget, with over 200 likes and dozens of comments.
People were quick to praise Maria on her DIY job and couldn’t believe the transformation.
One person wrote: “Gorgeous!”
Another commented: “Lovely.”
