If you're well enough in Covid self-isolation and are at a loose end thinking of things to do, then you could turn your hand to a DIY project you have been putting off.
Zuzana James, 31, did just that and transformed her dull kitchen - saving herself £20,000 in the process. Across five days of her self-isolation period, she managed to create a Pinterest-perfect cream shaker kitchen for just £230.
The flight attendant from Bedford used supplies from B&Q, eBay, and Etsy for the DIY job. Comparing her space to friends’ kitchens that cost a whopping £20k, Zuzana is delighted by the huge savings she has managed to pull off. "The idea was in my head for a while.
I always look for ways to improve our home and follow a lot of home accounts on social media," Zuzana told LatestDeals.co.uk. "I saw other people completely transforming their kitchens with a lick of paint, but I never really had the time to give it a go. "Then I tested positive for Covid just after New Year and had no symptoms, so I took my self-isolation as the perfect opportunity to crack on." Zuzana got everything she needed from B&Q - her favourite shop - other than the door handles.
