There are plenty of ways to enjoy DIY this August bank holiday from removing wallpaper, you can read our expert tips here, to deep cleaning your mattress-you can read our top tips here. Or you can take inspiration from this woman who updated her tired garden furniture with paint for less than £50.
Lorraine is an active member of the Facebook group The Frenchic Fan Forum, where upcyclers, novice painters, and have-a-go DIYers share their marvellous makeover stories using Frenchic paint to the 580,000 members.
The inspiration and confidence she gained from seeing other people's projects decided it - her garden furniture was going to go bright pink. All it needed was a few sunny days, a quick clean of the plastic rattan furniture set with sugar soap, and then allowing it to dry, and Lorraine was set for the transformation.
