The bedroom was kitted out using palettes for beds, DIY woodwork signs and even a KFC bucket for the bin.

Posting on Facebook's group, Sapphire Fenwick said: "This this the extremely budget friendly room I created for my 2 boys.

"Everything here has been created and or upcycled by us from roadside treasure finds.

"Apart from the mattresses.. This room cost me $0 to create. It's amazing what you can do with 'rubbish'.

"My son even made his own rubbish bin out a KFC bucket."

To make the bed, Sapphire used three full sized palettes for the base and two half-sized palettes for the headboard.

The mum said it was "super simple" and she added multicoloured fairy lights underneath to give the bed a special touch.

The boys also have a rustic mirror, attached to the wall with a rope chain, and jungle bedding.

We recently reported on a houseproud mum who gave her husband's Playstation a makeover using sticky back plastic so it matches her living room decor.

While this woman gave her boring kitchen a chic update using wood from B&Q and a cheap Argos nail gun.

And this mum launched a £3.5 million cleaning firm with her last £20 – she couldn’t even afford a vacuum when she started at 17.
