Posting on social media, the content creator gave her followers a close-up look at her recent transformation, leaving many open-mouthed.
What was once a plain glass window, has since been given a glow up thanks to a purse-friendly buy from Amazon.
And not only does it add style, but it also provides privacy too.
But if you thought that was it, think again, as this simple trick only takes a matter of minutes.
Sharing a short clip online, the savvy woman posted a before and after look at a small window at the top of her bathroom.
Using a Stained Glass Window Privacy Film, which Grace bought from Amazon for £15 at the time, she was able to turn the once dull window from drab to fab.
With this bargain buy, all you need to do is measure, cut, wet and apply.
It's said to be 'hassle-free', with 'no residue.'
According to the listing, this privacy film, which works best on glass windows, is 'made to endure with premium, resilient materials that resist wear.'
As well as being super vibrant with eye-catching patterns, it's sure to beautify your windows and leave your guests open-mouthed.
I was fed up of my council bathroom looking like a s--thole so transformed it with stick on tiles & an £80 shower screen
Alongside the clip, Grace penned: 'Did someone say dream window for under £15?'
Showing off the finished result, the influencer beamed: "Dreamiest transformation and literally took five minutes to do.'
Clearly overjoyed with the budget but effective privacy film, which requires no glue and is removable, Grace then added: 'Obsessed obsessed obsessed!'
Thanks to this budget product, which you can buy from Amazon in a variety of different styles, you'll not only add a unique touch to your space, but it can also be used to block the sun and for anti-glare purposes too.
As well as being used on indoor surfaces, it can also be added to outside spaces too.
DIY fans beam
Not only do we think that Grace's window transformation looks impressive, but it's clear that many others do too, as her TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ maisonbyem, has quickly racked up 182,500 views.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 11,800 likes, 46 comments and 1,889 saves.
DIY fans were stunned by the huge difference the adhesive-free film made and users eagerly flocked to the comments to express this.
One person said: 'Makes such a difference!'
Another added: 'You've outdone yourself with this one.'
A third commented: 'This is class! Looks so good.'
Meanwhile, someone else asked: 'Is it sideways?'
To this, Grace responded and wrote: 'Yes I suppose so! I think it could go either way tbh.'
But not everyone was as complimentary, as one user snapped: ' Tacky.'
However, clearly unbothered by the rude remark, the content creator wrote back and alongside a laughing face emoji, joked: 'Thanks babes.'

New EastEnders star is a nepo baby as famous family members who have also starred in BBC soap are revealed
Max Murray has landed a role in EastEnders alongside legendary stars but it has now been revealed he comes from a long-line of actors and singers in his family. The youngster has been portraying character Joel Marshall since February this year but it turns out he is actually following in his famous mum's footsteps. Max is the son of actress Gina Murray, who has starred in a number of well known programmes including The Bill, Doctors and The Hunt for Raoul Moat and appeared in the BBC soap back in 2014 playing Helen. Gina's character Helen arrived in Albert Square as a hair specialist to help Carol Jackson, who was struggling with losing her hair as she fought off cancer. It was Helen's role to help Carol find a wig. Max is also the nephew of Mazz Murray, who is a successful TV and theatre actress, starring in Sunset Boulevard, Mamma Mia and Chicago to name but a few. In 2004, Mazz also starred on EastEnders as a waitress called Miranda who had a brawl with Heather Trott and Shirley Carter. The youngster has been portraying character Joel Marshall since February this year but turns out he is actually following in his famous mum's footsteps In 2017, Mazz returned to Walford but this time was playing a character called Julie, who was a divorced woman who hired Keanu Taylor as a male escort for a night of fun and frolics. Max's character Joel is the step-son of Vicky Fowler, who returned to the square for the funeral of her uncle Martin Fowler. Her new boyfriend Ross is played by Alex Walkinshaw. At the time when Max's role was announced, he told the Mirror: 'It's an absolute privilege and honour to be joining such a wonderful production full of a lovely cast and crew. 'I'm really looking forward to introducing Joel to EastEnders viewers and telling his story.' It comes as EastEnders favourite Nicholas Bailey will make a shock return as Dr. Anthony Trueman to the soap, more than a decade since he was last seen in Walford. The character – son of Patrick Trueman (played by Rudolph Walker) – will be back on screens in scenes to air in the summer. Anthony first arrived on the Square in 2000 and quickly made waves, thanks in part to a steamy romance with Kat Slater (played by Jessie Wallace). Now, 11 years on from his last stint, the GP is set for a dramatic reunion with his dad this summer as Patrick and Yolande prepare to tie the knot. Anthony last appeared in EastEnders in 2014 when he rushed to his father's side when Patrick suffered a stroke. Since then, he has led a life away from Walford but in upcoming scenes viewers will see he is invited to his father's impending nuptials and decides to return for the occasion. In a post on the official Eastenders Instagram account, the long running soap teased the visit to Walford comes at a significant moment for Patrick, which means Anthony stays longer than he originally intended. In a statement, executive producer Ben Wadey said: 'It's great to welcome Nicholas back to the EastEnders family to reunite Patrick with his son. 'But Anthony's plan for a brief return to surprise his father ends up with him staying longer than he expected when he uncovers what has been going on in the Trueman household.' Nicholas who will reprise the iconic role added: 'It is an unexpected treat to return to EastEnders and I'm full of gratitude to get the opportunity to revisit the character of Anthony. 'It's wonderful to work with Rudolph Walker again - he's such a big part of my journey as an actor and I loved filming my first scenes with him after so long.

Letter: Lord Lipsey obituary
Among his multiple accomplishments and achievements, the commitment of David Lipsey to classical music education stood out. Unlike too many politicians, who merely talk the talk about the arts, David walked the walk. He was chair of governors at Trinity Laban Conservatoire, 2012-17, leading its transformation into Britain's first university level college of both music and dance, and establishing Trinity Laban as the inclusive and innovative creative institution it is today. He often spoke up for the arts, and for music education in particular, in the House of Lords, where he chaired the all-party classical music group. He also put his money where his mouth was, supporting young pianists and other artists with generous endowments.
