An impressive DIY makeover has saved one woman more than $4000 while updating her kitchen and living space.
The woman took to popular Facebook group, Kmart Home Decor & Hacks Australia, to reveal how she transformed her home.
The woman revealed she was given a $4500 quote for a custom sideboard but, unhappy with the cost, decided to make her own.
She picked up three of Kmart’s Slatted Storage Cabinets, which retail for $99 each, as well as half moon handles which she swapped out.

The woman spray-painted the handles and legs, before painting the cabinets Licorice Green, a colour she picked up from Bunnings.
She added anyone looking to mimic her look should use a shellac undercoat and paint the doors before assembling it.
“It will save you a world of pain,” she joked, adding the whole job cost her $450.
Social media users were stunned at the flawless renovation.
“Wow, looks amazing! I think you have broken the internet,” one person commented on the post.
Another added: “Looks amazing, well done you, and that colour is a showstopper!”
A third said: “I’ve just recently had a conversation with my daughter about having a go at making my own custom made buffet to avoid the cost of buying an expensive one.
“I love what you have done.
“It confirms to me what can be done with a bit of inspiration.”
The original poster also helped answer one burning question for a commenter.
“This looks fantastic! I was just wondering if the shelves are high enough to hold alcohol bottles? I’m looking for a bar and this looks amazing,” one user asked.
The woman popped a couple of tall spirit bottles inside, confirming it did.
