Woman Transforms Kitchen With 7,500 Coins During Lockdown

Ms. Welsby shared photographs of the decorated kitchen on social media, and how it looked before she ramped it up with the coins

It appears not everyone struggled to kill time during lockdown. There were people who used it to let their imagination fly and creativity take shape. In northwest England, a woman used the ample free time in her hands to completely transform her dull kitchen. Billie Jo Welsby used thousands of 1p coins to decorate parts of the walls of her kitchen, which now twinkle and glitter even if a hint of light enters the area. Ms. Welsby shared a number of photographs on Facebook of the decorated kitchen as well as how it looked before she ramped it up. In one of the photographs, shared after the stunning decoration was completed, a message board behind the stove reads, “This is our happy place.” And the photograph that showed the kitchen before the decoration looks dull in comparison. She also added in the post, “Total renovation on my kitchen, all work done by myself. 7,500 pennies individually placed.”
