DIYs amazing under-the-stairs play-house

This is amazing.

A very creative – and kind – grandad just created the coolest under-the-stairs playhouse for his two young grandsons – and managed to do so for just £50 – in other words; less than €60.

Sharing the images on Facebook group DIY On A Budget Official, the man’s daughter showed what the tiny cupboard had looked like before the DIY renovations – and after.

And guys – how cute is this?!

The windows and doors make the ‘den’ look like an actual playhouse, and it was also revealed that the ‘bricks’ are just a wallpaper, but again, adding to the effect of this being an actual little playhouse for the young boys to have fun in.

The woman’s post in the Facebook group reads:

“So my very talented dad turned my under the stairs cupboard into a really cool house/den for my two little boys. ‘It cost around £50 at most as we were able to use lots of the materials and paint that we already had. ‘The cupboard was only used to store shoes and bits and bobs before so it’s a much better use of space and my children love it.”

I mean; just look at the details, like the house number on the door, and the doorknob and knocker! So, so cool.

Especially when you realise that THIS is what it looked like before:

On the inside, the crafty grandad gave the room a lick of paint, put up some shelves for books and small toys, and added other bits like a chalkboard with a holder for their pens and chalk.
 

Needless to say, the post gathered a lot of attention in the Facebook group, with everyone praising the inventive grandad for his skills and for wanting to make this special place for his two young grandchildren.
