With no quick solutions to the credit crunch and the knock-on effect on the housing market, it is time to batten down the financial hatches and make the most of what we've got in our homes.

With Plasti-kote spray paint, you can afford to get a new look in your home and feel good about recycling rather than buying new. Odd bits of MDF can be transformed into a blackboard with Plasti-kote Chalkboard paint. Shabby vases, ornaments and picture frames can be sprayed one of the 60 colours from the Plasti-kote Super range of paints to add an accent to any room for less than the price of a couple of drinks down the pub.

Kitchens and bathrooms can benefit from a complete make-over using Plasti-kote Cupboard Colours and Tile Paint for a fraction of what a new one would cost. This kitchen (attached) was transformed with a bit of patient hard work, a new blind, tablecloth and some cans of Plasti-kote spray paint - the whole project costing under £250 including the fabric from Laura Ashley! Cupboard doors, chairs, the fridge and even the cake tins were sprayed using Plasti-kote's spray paints.

Why stop there? Spray painting is quick and easy - the secret to success is several fine coats. Plasti-kote Super spray paint comes in a wide range of colours and finishes, can be used on most surfaces and is dry to handle in under an hour. It's amazing what could be achieved in an afternoon! Use it to recycle old storage baskets for the kids' bedroom in bright new colours or even change the colour of your bath panel - you are only limited by your imagination.

Plasti-kote Super retails at £5.49 for 400ml, Plasti-kote Cupboard Colours for £6.99 for 400ml, Plasti-kote Chalkboard for £5.99 for 400ml, all are available from good DIY stores. For more information, visit www.plasti-kote.com, text 'colour' to 60066 or call 01223 836400 for stockist details.
