Lisa gave her baby's nursery a makeover
A savvy mum repaired the crumbling walls in her baby's nursery using budget supplies from B&Q and Homebase.
"I realised I needed to keep peeling to see what else was hidden underneath. For the bits of lining paper that were really stuck, I used Bartoline wallpaper stripper. You mix it with water and dab it on, and it melts away after about 15 minutes. This was great stuff for £2.99 from B&M. "I also picked up another tin of lighter pink paint in B&M, which was £10. By this point, I’d decided the whole process was now more than a quick paint job so I thought I’d spend more time with the actual painting too. In B&M I also grabbed a roller set with paint brushes and a few other bits and spent approximately £15.
"I then decided that I would skim over the whole wall with the Gyproc. That idea was literally because the wall really couldn’t be any worse. It didn’t go on smoothly as my skills are not that of a plasterer, but Mum reassured me that it stands down beautifully. "I didn’t feel confident taking the whole back box out, and as I’d already plastered the wall, it would’ve meant redoing all that area. This little clip literally clipped into the side of the back box and allowed me to screw it back on straight. I just flattened down the old lug using my hammer. I also replaced both facias for the sockets by following the instructions on a YouTube video.
