I transformed a grotty kids’ playhouse I bought for £40 off Facebook Marketplace into a cool den for my son, he loves it
A SAVVY mum has shared how she transformed a grotty playhouse into a play den for her son on a budget.
Vanna turned the Barbie pink playhouse into an adorable grey and green cottage for her tot.
Sharing the transformation on social media, she revealed she bagged the playhouse for a bargain at £40 from Facebook Marketplace.
But the grotty house was in serious need of a makeover as it clearly hadn’t been looked after.
She first started by taking apart the playhouse and place it on wood to be spray painted with Rustoleum.
The DIY whizz started by turning the door and windows a lush sage green colour.
She painted the rest of the playhouse grey and used a textured spray paint for the brick details.
Once the spray paint had dried she reassembled the house and added the finishing touches.
She added a plastic chair in the same green colour, a plant in the windowsill and added a matt in front of the front door.
“Redoing our sons playhouse!! I forgot to film putting it back together and stuff but it turned out so cute and he loves it,” she captioned the post.
The simple DIY was a hit on TikTok where she shared the video on her account @vannabanana105.
People were quick to praise the mum in the comments.
One person wrote: “Love this! What paint did you use?”
Another commented: “It looks so good!!”
“Omg my son would love this,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “How creative!! I love the colour scheme you guys ended with.”
Someone else added: “Love it.”
