Woman turns empty cupboard in hallway into ‘glam station’ for $9.85
The handy woman has transformed an unused cupboard into a seriously chic dressing table – and it’s so easy anyone can do it.
Many of us have odd-shaped areas in our homes that aren’t being put to good use.
However, one savvy woman has ensured every centimetre of her house is used to best effect – and has revealed online how she transformed an empty hallway cupboard into a “glam station” for just $9.85.
The social media user called Hannah explained in Facebook group DIY On A Budget Official how she created a stunning dressing table plus storage area for make-up and toiletries using items from eBay, Ikea and Home Bargains.
Sharing “before” and “after” photos, she wrote: “So after loads of early morning arguments about the brightness of my mirror, I decided to up and move out of the bedroom and make myself a wee glam station in the hall.
“Can’t wait to get ready tomorrow.”

The images depict how the set of bare wooden shelves had been painted and turned into a chic space for her to get set for the day.
Hannah revealed that she decorated it with a plant and mirror from Ikea, fairy lights and boxes from UK store Home Bargains, a small mirror from chemist Boots, and Dulux paint.
However, she explained that she only spent $9.85 – on new paint brushes – because she already had everything around the house.
Fellow members of the group rushed to praise her on her interior design skills.
One person wrote: “This is inspirational!! Well done.”

And a fourth added: “Wow, looks amazing, well done.”
Many were also inspired to follow in her footsteps, with one noting: “OMG I’ve got a cupboard upstairs the same. Fab idea for space. We’re turning the spare back bedroom into a dressing area – can’t wait when we get to do that!”
