Our council house didn’t even have carpets – now I’ve given my girl’s room a princess makeover with Facebook & Temu buys

A DIY enthusiast has revealed that her council house didn’t even have carpets when she moved in - but now, she has turned her young daughter’s bedroom from drab to fab.

Whilst on a budget, in a bid to keep the costs low, Morg Campbell used cheap buys from Facebook Marketplace and Temu to bring her youngster’s bedroom to life.

Now, her little one has a bedroom of dreams - and she didn’t break the bank in the process.

So if you're strapped for cash but want to give your home a glamorous makeover, then you'll need to listen up and take notes.

Keen to show off her DIY makeover, Morg, who lives in a council house in the UK and recently showed off her kitchen renovation, took to social media to share her latest project, leaving many open-mouthed. 

Posting on , a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, Morg shared a snap of the bedroom prior to its overhaul - a very plain room with no carpet, white walls and even a hole in the wall.

She also uploaded pictures of the finished room - which is one many young girls would be totally gobsmacked by.

Alongside the snaps, Morg wrote: “So I’ve previously posted a few pictures of my daughter's big girl ‘princess’ room but I’ve finally finished it so wanted to post some updated pictures!

“Most things are second hand including furniture and decor items. 

“If you have any questions pop them below and I’ll get back to you with where bits are specifically from.

“Not 100% perfect but was done completely on a budget and my little girl’s super happy.”

Morg later confirmed that to keep her costs down, she bought her daughter a secondhand bed from Facebook Marketplace.

And rather than splashing the cash on posh wallpaper, she used self-adhesive wallpaper from Temu, where prices start at just £1.79.

She nabbed cushions from Primark and also used Dulux Pressed Petal paint, which you can buy from B&Q, Dunelm, Wickes and Screwfix from £22. 

DIY fans beam

Social media users were left stunned by the DIY overhaul - and many eagerly flocked to the comments to express this and praise the ‘beautiful’ room. 

Absolutely stunning. Well done!
