I’m a mum-of-6 but can only afford a 3-bed house – it was cheaper to convert it than upsize, I’ve made it a 7-bed
A MUM-of-six has revealed how she was desperate for all her kids to have their own bedroom, but couldn’t afford a seven-bed house.
The savvy woman shared how she came up with a clever solution to turning her three-bedroom into a pad larger enough for all the bedrooms.
On her @girlmath123, she shared exactly how she achieved it, and people are hailing it as “incredible.”
Before the renovation work, her three-storey room featured the living spaces, including the kitchen, dining room and lounge on the middle floor.
Meanwhile, her ground floor just had a utility room which she used for laundry, and a bathroom.
The mum’s tactic was to convert the bottom floor into the main living space, and turn the middle floor into four bedrooms.

Meanwhile, the top floor originally had two bedrooms, but she split one of them into two, making three in total.
With the four bedrooms on the middle floor, and three on the top floor, she achieved her goal of getting seven bedrooms.
She wrote: “Renovating our 3 bed town house into our 7 bed forever home.
“They are decent sizes! We do have two box rooms on the top floor but can't complain.
“We would definitely divide into larger rooms if we were ever to sell. But as it's so tailored to our family and needs, we don't see us ever selling.”
Many people were impressed with her hard work, with her video racking up over 890,000 views.
One person wrote: “This is incredible! You have stunning taste also!”
Another added: “It looks amazing! Rooms aren’t tiny either!”
And a third commented: “As a child from a blended family who never had their own space & felt so unwelcome this warms my heart.”
Meanwhile, we previously shared how a thrifty mum created an extra bedroom for just £100, saving herself hundreds of pounds.
Carly was in desperate need of more space after her two sons Ronnie and George began outgrowing their shared bedroom.
However, with a small budget, the mum-of-three from Brighton had to get her thinking cap on and come up with a cheap and easy way to split the bedroom apart – and she did exactly that.
Costing no more than £100, Carly was able to split her sons' bedroom in half by using MDF boards and wooden panels, giving them both their own room with a divider in the middle.
