Dad turns cupboard under the stairs into amazing Harry Potter snug for his son with Lidl and eBay bargains
A DAD has transformed the cupboard under the stairs into a magical space Harry Potter would actually like to live in.
Creative Louis turned the space into a snug for his Harry-Potter loving son - with exposed brick walls and quotes from the series.
The parents bought bargains from eBay and Lidl, with the entire project costing £184.55.
Emma told Fabulous: "It was my partner who did all the hard work along with our 19 month old son. It was a father and son project.
"Brick walls were painted using a sponge, carpet was specially made from eBay, wallpaper bookcase and all stickers were also eBay and the light was from Lidl.
";It was previously used as a storage cupboard."
