Meet 14-year-old Julie from Great Britain, a creative force who embarked on a mission to give her room a much-needed makeover.
Recognizing the need for change, Julie wasted no time and promptly removed all the outdated wallpapers, setting the stage for her personalized touch.
Equipped with a few cans of paint, a spatula, and masking tape, Julie dove into the transformation. Over the course of two days, she skillfully transformed the once blank canvas, documenting every step for her followers.
The focal point of Julie’s vision was to introduce geometric shapes of varying sizes and colors onto the walls, employing the precision of masking tape to ensure clean and sharp edges.
Eager to share her progress, Julie showcased her original design in the DIY On a Budget Official group, where she received resounding praise from the community.
Notably, her mother was both surprised and delighted by the final result, witnessing the remarkable transformation of the room.
Julie’s ingenuity drew admiration from subscribers, with some expressing a willingness to enlist the young designer’s services for their own homes. Meanwhile, others couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy toward Julie, whose parents exhibited a remarkably calm response to the entire process.
In this tale of creative endeavor, Julie not only revamped her living space but also inspired a community with her DIY prowess.
The story of a teenager turning a mundane room into a personalized haven serves as a testament to the transformative power of creativity and resourcefulness.

Our reader Nadine sent us an emotional letter. The fact is that her in-laws invited the whole family over for dinner, leaving her children out. To make matters worse, her husband knew this and approved of this behavior.
This is Nadine’s letter.
We decided to find out what readers think about this situation. All of them found the behavior of the husband and in-laws offensive.
- I have a very short answer that I use on occasion, and that is. When people show you who they are, believe them. Whatever is said now and whatever apologies made, you know who they all are. © Linda Fawcett / Facebook
- If my kids weren’t welcome at whatever function, I wouldn’t go either. © Sandy Freed / Facebook
- I would have left straight away and if my husband didn’t follow, I would have finished my marriage, when it comes to my kids no one wins over them. © Liz Russell Flaherty / Facebook
- I’d ask my hit if he cared about me and the kids. And then I’d leave the restaurant with or without him. © Faye Birkbeck / Facebook
- This happened to us for a wedding. Other kids were there. We drove 3 hours to get there, so we were stuck. That was 40 years ago. I never forgot. © Regina Mason / Facebook
- My children come first, they are not baggage’s … it does not matter if you’re blood or not, kindness should be organic. © M Otto Rittah Rxs / Facebook
- I would seriously consider whether you stay with your husband, as he clearly hasn’t accepted your children. To say that they shouldn’t be at a family gathering because they’re not blood relatives, means he agrees with your in-laws. I can only imagine how your kids feel with their ‘so called’ dad, disowning them in this manner. © James Wood / Facebook
