Mum spends £6 transforming cupboard into walk-in wardrobe

Sarah Ward, from Runcorn, used materials destined for the bin, a charity shop bargain and recycled furniture in order to complete her impressive DIY project.

While renovating 20-month-old daughter Cyenna's box room, she created the adorable space using a free carpet sample, a ladder from her seven-year-old son Jamie-John's old bunk bed and a £4 rail bought at a charity shop before finishing the walk-in wardrobe off with a £2 unicorn sticker from Amazon.

The 28-year-old full-time mum said: "I went down to a carpet store and the man said he was going to sling it in the bin.

"Then I got the rail from a charity shop for £4 and the sticker from Amazon for £2.

"I didn’t have to do anything with the rail, it was the perfect fit.

"Then I remembered I had my son’s old bunk bed in the attic which had a ladder on it – I got a saw and chopped it down, so there’s a little entrance for her."

And Cyenna is delighted with her new room.

Sarah added: "She just absolutely loves it.

"As soon as I showed her she got really excited, it made my heart burst.

"She plays with her toys in there, and I read to her in there before bed.

"My son has autism and he loves going in there to play with her too.

"It’s just brought so much joy for such a small price.

"I did it all myself and on a small budget – I just want to show other mums that it can be easily done.

"If someone looks at what I’ve done and is inspired to do something in their home then that’s great."
