What about those DIY tricks on amateur YouTube videos. There seem to be a lot of them. Some of them are silly, others are misinformation, and a few are remarkable. There's one that made the news in the"Good News This Week" site.
Nikki Coles has stayed busy over the last two years. At the beginning of the pandemic, the 37-year-old mom of two from Essex, England, decided if she was going to be inside, she might as well do a few projects around the house. At the same time she was studying for law school, Coles began watching DIY videos on YouTube, and soon, she was upgrading each room in her house.
With her new skills, Coles recently revamped her kitchen — she retiled the floor, changed out the countertops, and applied fresh paint to the cupboards and walls, doing everything herself. She went to thrift shops and found items for free on Facebook, so it only cost her £200 ($245) to get a stylish new kitchen. "It kind of started with a little bit of tweaking here and there, and then I really got the bug," she told The Independent.
Coles is working on her final project — redecorating a bathroom — and said it "just goes to show what you can do even as a busy mom on a budget — and if I can inspire other mums in any way, shape, or form, then I'm happy."
One of the articles references the British equivalent to our Dollar Store - it is called "Poundland".
Today's picture is Millie. This seems to be her typical pose for the camera - the worried little Cavalier look.
