A MUM has shared how she turned a cupboard in her one-bedroom flat into a bedroom for her baby daughter.
Chelsea showed how the tiny room had been used as a dumping ground for coats and board games.
On her @itsjusttt_chelsea account, she wrote: “POV living in a one bedroom flat with an eight month old and wanted her to have her own precious space.
“We emptied the largest cupboard.
“I put a fresh coat of white paint on the walls.”
She shared how the room looked “refreshed” after the lick of paint.
Chelsea then picked up some adorable cloud-themed book shelves from Studio, which she painted pink for a pop of colour.
They then added a pink design around the top of the walls and put some bear-themed stickers on the wall.
Finally it was time to move the cot in and it slotted in the space.
The mum showed how they added a camera onto the side so they could monitor their daughter when she is sleeping.
As the door is “always open” for ventilation, they painted this the same colour and added a coat hook for extra storage.
Chelsea was delighted with the end result.

“After all the hard work and everyone that helped, my princess finally had a perfect bedroom.”
Explaining why their home only has one bedroom, despite it being a council home, Chelsea claimed: “The council have said she doesn’t qualify as a person till she’s 1 and even then she’s only classed as half a person!”
People were quick to chime in with their views on the bedroom transformation.
One said: “U have done such a good job it looks lovely.”
Another added: “It looks lovely.”
A third stated: “I’d take the door off.”
Chelsea explained that the door is open 24/7 and the room had been looked over by a health professional.
Typically bedrooms in the UK must have a window to offer natural light, ventilation and a means of escape in case of fire.
