Thrilled with her toilet’s transformation, Lolly took to social media to share a before and after look at the space, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on DIY On A Budget, a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, Lolly shared snaps of her downstairs loo, as she penned: “Quick little makeover for the downstairs toilet.”
What was once a drab, plain white space, has since been given a fresh new look and is now incredibly chic and trendy.
Thanks to some bargain accessories, a lick of paint and a dado rail, Lolly has given her space a fresh feel with barely any faff involved.
Not only have her Shein pictures added style to her little loo, but the dado rail wall design has transformed the space without breaking the bank.
Lolly then revealed all on her DIY project to Fabulous as she said: “All accessories – towel/loo roll holder, plants, pictures and candles – are from Shein.”
Lolly also confirmed that she nabbed her marble peel and stick waterproof vinyl tiles from Temu, where prices range from just £3.
Not only did the self-adhesive tiles give the space a glow up, but she also shared: “The rope themed light [was from] Amazon.
“The shelf was £2 from Aldi and I used B&Q Good Home paint.”
When it came to her DIY panelled wall feature, she acknowledged: “The dado rail I brought from B&Q.
“[i] just measured up the wall, cut using a mitre block and stuck on with No More Nails glue, chalked and painted.”
