A MAKE-UP artist's claimed to be traumatised after a DIY kitchen makeover went horribly wrong.
The soaring food prices and energy bills have had a global impact, with people all around the world trying to find ways to spend less, whether that means showering at the gym or changing their grocery shopping habits.
But for some, like Christina Marie (@miss_christinaxo), from Los Angeles, the US, it means switching on their creative side and transforming the home, without the help of a professional.
However, although the make-up artist who regularly shares videos about all things beauty on TikTok, felt pretty confident, she very soon realised it was a major mistake.
Going with pink, which seems to be a running theme in her home, Christina decided to turn her kitchen from drab to fab with a cherry print wallpaper.
Optimistic, she began cutting the wallpaper in smaller sections and sticking each on one of the walls in the room.
But just over halfway through, the blonde came to discover she hadn't ordered enough of the cheerful wallpaper, leaving some parts of the wall white.
This didn't stop her though, as she quickly thought of a solution - grabbing bits of a fuchsia ribbon and gluing them across the first layer.
However, as Christina revealed in the now-viral video, this was a total fail, and not only was the end result wonky and uneven but the design was far from what she had expected.
''Omg i still have a headache from this s%#!'' the make-up pro wrote in the caption, desperately seeking help from viewers.
Although many suggested she continued with the cherry aesthetic, Christina said she needed some time to ''regroup''.
''I’m not sure I’m mentally ready to order more cherry wallpaper. I‘m traumatized from the first experience of trying to hang it.''

Amongst the 1.4million people who watched the clip were also those who didn't think the end result was that bad - however, the DIY ''pro'' explained she liked things to be perfect.
''i’m just a perfectionist, it’s the Virgo in me.''
Sharing their recommendations, one person suggested: ''honestly just do a bunch of different walls different squares, cherry square here, pink here.''
Someone else commented: ''you could get cork board in the solid red places it’d be super cute!''
Another thought: ''make it checkered.''
