She eventually found one in a bin which she transformed into the dining table of her dreams, comlete with chairs.
Now, she has a whole TikTok and Instagram page dedicated to her designer-inspired pieces which she transforms for almost nothing, with people begging to buy them off her.
“Almost all the furniture I find is on the side of the road and in the trash. So it’s saving the environment and making me almost 100% profit,” she said in one of her clips.
“Occasionally I’ll fall in love with a piece and won’t even sell it, I’ll just keep it so I can furnish my house on a budget.”

Whether bright and bold is your style, or lush neutral shades, Maggie proves she can tackle an task with a handful of tools and a stroke of paint.
