A couple saved over £20k by purchasing a second-hand kitchen for just £50 on Facebook Marketplace. Louise and Peter Horton renovated the kitchen in their Suffolk home over eight months for around £1,000. They combined second-hand items with modern touches, such as a compound laminate worktop, to create a stunning result. Louise’s DIY passion and clear vision were key to the project’s success, with the couple also receiving freebies like a sink from a neighbour. Balancing the renovation with caring for their three children was a challenge, but the couple’s hard work paid off with a beautiful and cost-effective kitchen transformation.
