SMALL CHANGE
Woman turns small cupboard in her one-bed flat into a sleeping area for her stepdaughter using B&M & The Range bargains
A WOMAN turned a small cupboard in her one-bedroom flat into a sleeping area for her stepdaughter using bargains from The Range and B&M.
She revealed that her partner’s daughter would come over to stay, but she didn’t have her own room as space was tight.
So she decided to repurpose a cupboard so the little girl could have her own space, adding she loved her new ‘den’.
Her partner did ‘the hard work’ for the cosy nook while she did all the shopping, hitting up B&M, The Range and eBay for bargains.
She shared her handiwork to Facebook group , saying: “A bit of imagination and creativity.
“Small cupboard turned into a sleeping area in my 1 bedroom flat for my partner's daughter when she stays.

“She loves her little ‘den’.”
And explaining how much it all cost, she told Fabulous: “The paint, duvet/duvet set and lamp shade were from The Range.
"The shelves and bits were from B&M, bed was from a UK site on eBay
“The wallpaper I already had, we bought the bed, duvet/duvet set, the pink paint, a lamp shade and a coloured bulb which she changes to blue so the room looks purple, and then the bits for the shelves.
“Would say it cost around £125 altogether.
