So to create a space where she could relax, the mum, from Edinburgh, tackled their drab shed, giving it a lick of paint in a pretty pink shade, called Sweet Pea from Cuprinol, while she used white paint for the door.
She attached mirrored shutters on the outside to look like windows, and added cute accessories including a pink wreath and planted flowers outside.
As her daughter is a Toy Story fan, the mum covered the front of the shed with characters from the films, while her daughter dressed up as Bo Peep and the dog was given a sheep-themed makeover.
The mum shared incredible before-and-after snaps to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, where her transformation has received more than 13,000 likes.

“She was so happy on Easter even dressed up as bo peep from toy story & her wee doggy even took part for the surprise.
“(The windows are mirrored shutters I bought on marketplace for £15 a few years ago.)”
