She then shared how to save cash on paint, as she confirmed: “I hand painted the hearts on the wall using tester paint pots.
“I also used the paint tester pots to give some new life to the box with my daughter's name on it that I made for her when I was pregnant nearly six years ago.”
As well as this, the DIY enthusiast continued: “Shelves and teddy hanging storage were also gifted to me a while back but just got put away and never used.”
