SHE hated her "ugly" front door.
But instead of splashing the cash on an entirely new one, a homeowner has shown how she managed to give hers a glow up, for less than £30.
She took to TikTok to share a video of the transformation, over the top of which she wrote: "How to transform your front door for less than £30".
"If you have an ugly front door like me, don't worry, you don't need to fork out hundreds on brand new door - you just need to buy a tub of paint specific for your door," she began.
She chose green, and got to work cleaning the door with sugar soap and giving it a light sanding before she started painting it.
"After the first coat you might think, 'What the hell am I doing? I've ruined it!' but the second coat gives much better coverage," she said.

She concluded the video by showing off the final look once the paint had dried, noting that it was done apart from a new handle and new door numbers.
"But what a glow up!" she said.

"looks fab, small things make such a great impact," a third commented.
"You should of bought a undercoat that goes with the colour, then you wouldn't of had to put so many coats on your door," someone else said.
To which the woman replied that she'd learned her lesson.
"Beautiful!" another praised.
"Door wreath would look nice on it too!"
"Don’t worry, wreath and hanging baskets pending!" she laughed in response.
"You convinced my husband when I couldn’t so thank you," someone else commented.
