Mum transforms husband’s tool cupboard into a beauty station for her three daughters using eBay finds

A MUM revealed how she turned an old tool cupboard into a beauty station for her three daughters on a budget, after picking up bargains from eBay.

Sharing a house – and a bathroom –with four women is a challenge for anyone, particularly when you’re all trying to get ready to in the morning.

To give her three girls their own personal space to do their hair and make-up, one mum turned her husband’s tool cupboard into a beauty station.

She shared incredible before-and-after snaps to Facebook group , revealing the dingy room had bare walls and a single lightbulb hanging down beforehand.

The mum roped in her husband to help with the DIY, as they stripped the walls, laid new floor, gave it a lick of paint and added new furniture and accessories.

The revamped room now has a grey stool, a mirror, storage for all their hair styling tools and baskets to stash their make-up.

The mum added two floating shelves, and revealed she picked up the hair dryer holder for just £3 on eBay.

She posted online: “My cupboard on the stairs transformed from my husband’s work tools storage to a beauty room for my 3 daughters.

“All done on a budget.”

One person said: “Looks great well done.”

Another wrote: “Wow what a transformation... Lucky girls.”
