Meet the woman who splashed out £10k turning her home into a pink palace - complete with matching dog bedrooms and a pink motorbike for her fiancé. Maria Alison, 29, has spent the last two years decorating her modest Sunderland semi-detached house that she bought in May 2019 almost entirely pink.

The pink-obsessed woman began her colour coordinated journey when her Stepdad, Michael Heslop, 64, gifted her a pink kettle and toaster at her engagement party in May 2019.

Maria has decorated the house with shades of pink and rose gold ever since she was inspired by the matching kettle and toaster gift.

She estimates the transformation has cost at least £10,000 so far, but admits that figure only includes the bigger items - so it could be higher.

Maria said: “When we moved in we went with mainly grey and just a few pink bits but then as time went on I really liked the pink and my partner was well on board.

“I’m trying to get rid of the grey now, I prefer pink and white but obviously it’s hard to do everything at one time."
