The pair spent weeks transforming the oversized cupboard under the stairs, unveiling their handiwork as a present on Christmas Day.

The pair gave the walls a lick of paint, added some chic brick-effect wallpaper and even a desk space.

The mum revealed she picked up the pink wallpaper from Homebase, while they sourced the leaf curtain from eBay.

They also equipped the den with some pink accessories, including a matching chair, rug and stool, as well as shelves for all her toys and games.

Finally they added in a TV for her to watch films on, strung up some cosy lights and added a mirror to maximise the space.

The proud mum shared before-and-after snaps to Facebook group, which have racked up more than 12,000 likes.

The mum wrote: “Surprise our little girl on Christmas day.
