"I’m a happy go lucky kind of person and kind of make it up as I go along."
The single mum-of-three continued: "All I did was put painter's tape all over the walls then decided on the colour to go with the rest of the colours in the house.
"I used thick black painter's tape from eBay and I went to Wilko to get the Dulux paint that was half price at the time in the sales.
"The accessories are mainly gaming merchandise as he is a huge Fortnite fan and a massive gamer like his mummy.
“The painting only cost me £18 to do with the simplest and easiest of hacks!
"The wall accessories from various charity shops, Primark and Poundland cost £54.
“I made the big hexagon shelf for £24, the rug from Dunelm was £43 in the sale and I got the curtains from eBay for £15.
