A THRIFTY mum has revealed how she used DIY to transform her damp, messy council house into a dream home for her and her children.
Rebekah Foster, 31, was unable to view her council house before moving in, and had only seen a few photos of it.
The mum of four was so excited to move into the property but when she first walked through the door noticed a strange smell.
“We put it down to the house being empty for a while, but when we walked into the living room, the carpet had a damp smell”, she told Paving Superstore.
The house was also covered in broken glass, which as a complete hazard for her children, and the garden was an absolute state, with a falling down fence and overgrown bushes.
“It’s safe to say we were devastated, but more because our children were going to have to live and be in a property we did not feel was safe for them”, she said.
“During this time, my husband had just been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and I was recovering from a C-section, so that was also a struggle as neither one of us was in a state where we could do a lot about it at the time.”
As the couple, who are from the North East were unable to do much themselves when they first moved in to the property. they hired a local tradesperson to help out.
However, this ended in disaster.
“Unfortunately was a total cowboy tradesperson and did not do any of the work properly.
“He destroyed our new carpets and didn’t prep walls so when he lined them you could see every issue through the paper.”
Thankfully, the mum, who is a baker and content creator was able to undo the builders mess after her recovery, and using DIY has created her dream home on a budget.
Rebekah used YouTube and Tiktok videos to learn a variety of new skills, and has even come up with some hacks of her own during the renovation.
“I found makeup wipes are great for using when smoothing out caulk,”, she said.
“I also used cake scrapers and old kitchen tools for smoothing out and plastering in areas and filling holes.”
The busy mum has decorated her home with charity shop bargains, and upcycled the second hand drawers in her bedroom to fit the theme of the room.
Rebekah still has a long way to go on her renovation journey, but is so happy with how things have turned out so far.
She said: “My children’s room is exactly what I wanted for them; it’s a lovely, bright and colourful space for them to play in.
“It really makes me so happy seeing their room and knowing I created that space for them.
“Even though my room is not quite done yet, it’s coming together as planned in my dream colour scheme– black and taupe. The colours work so nicely together and it’s exactly what I had envisioned.
“I also transformed my boring hollow door by adding wooden appliques which I both glued and painted which has given it more character.
“I love that all my hard work is paying off and everything is slowly coming together.”
Sharing advice to anyone looking to transform their home on a budget, she added: “Don’t rush the work or plan things too close together.
“Every job I have done as a newbie to DIY and renovating has taken a lot longer than planned.
“By rushing through the work you just make silly mistakes which just cost more in the long run to correct.
“Thorough preparation is key to a good job and a nice finish so take your time, and shop around for good products at the best prices.”

BRITAIN’S “newest town” costing £400million has been unveiled and will ultimately include 20,000 homes, schools and a shopping parade.
The Barking Riverside project in East London, has already seen 2,700 homes built and will occupy a 443-acre brownfield site that once was the location of Barking power station.
It is hoped that it will eventually house a 50,000 strong community on the north bank of the River Thames.
So far, more than £400million has been pumped into the project so far, with 2,700 homes created and permission has been granted to build up to 10,800.
Under new plans, that figure would almost double, gaining benefit from improved transport links, including a new overground station and a pier.
Matthew Carpen, managing director of Barking Riverside Ltd said: “We have much more we wish to deliver, with the investment to date setting the foundation for the significant growth that is now proposed.
“We look forward to delivering our new masterplan for 20,000 homes, together with the amenities and services needed to support and attract a vibrant and growing population.”
Under the scheme, more than a third of the 13,046 new homes would be earmarked as affordable housing, offered at a minimum of 20 per cent below market value.
The extended plans include two new parks – Ripple Park, covering roughly 50 acres, and River Park, a 19-acre site – along with two primary schools and improved cycling and walking routes.
Mr Carpen added: “As well as meeting the need for housing, with much of this being affordable, the new masterplan aims to maximise public benefit – both for the growing community here and the whole of east London.”
There are already five schools and several nurseries and various play areas and shops.
Fiona Fletcher-Smith the CEO of housing association L&Q said: “The UK is in the grips of a housing and affordability crisis, which is getting worse.
“That has to change, and projects like Barking Riverside are part of the solution.
“We believe Barking Riverside could be a blueprint for brownfield development across the country.
“None of this would be possible without partnerships, from L&Q and the mayor of London to the many others contributing to the success of this place.
“Delivering the proposed new homes and infrastructure will be a wonderful next step at this exciting new neighbourhood.”
The extended plans also have the backing of London mayor Sadiq Khan.
He said: “Barking Riverside is a prime example of a new town in London, a pioneering partnership delivering thousands of new homes for Londoners.
“It’s an inspiring model of how to fix our housing crisis, with new public transport connections, schools, green spaces and a town centre making this a blueprint for how the next generation of English new towns could work.
“I’m determined to do everything in my power to continue boosting homebuilding across London, as part of my plan to build a fairer, more prosperous city for all Londoners.”
Barking and Dagenham council will decide on the plan early next year.
