I surprised my kid with a ‘cupcake’ bedroom makeover… all we used was some paint and stickers from Temu
A MUM has left people with their jaws on the floor after sharing her daughter’s epic bedroom makeover.
Mum Kylie Senyszyn decided to surprise her child whilst she had gone away for a few days – only to come back to a brand new bedroom.
According to Kylie, the little girl had previously swapped bedrooms with her sister – who had decided to give the walls a rather gloomy transformation, painting them grey.
To give the room more colour and life, Kylie went in cheerful pastel colours, such as light blue, lilac and pastel green.
The vertical blocks on the walls were all divided by smaller white sections and each colourful segment had its own theme – including cow print, which has become all the rage.
Other patterns included dainty flowers and cupcake-like sprinkles – which were stickers that the thrifty mum had ordered from Temu.
The adorable budget-friendly glow-up also included a range of plants and wall art, as well as piles of toys neatly arranged in the corners.
Sharing the gorgeous transformation on Facebook, Kylie wrote in the post: ”My daughter went away for a few nights to see family so we surprised her with a bedroom makeover.
”We had swapped rooms with her sister who had painted EVERYTHING dark grey.”
The post, uploaded on the popular DIY On A Budget Official page, has since taken the platform by storm, winning the crafty mum more than a whopping 550 likes.
Close to 50 members of the forum – home to 2.2million members – flooded to comments to praise Kylie.
One fan of the fabulous makeover said: ”I want that bedroom, it’s like a massive scrumptious cupcake, a really nice chill out bedroom.”
Another agreed, adding: ”Absolutely love how quirky it is.”
”I love this, you have a very good eye for interior design. Absolutely lovely, well done,” a third chimed in.
”This is all soo random but yet works so well, I love it,” a fourth wrote.
”Well this is adorable ! So fun! This room would of made me so happy as a little girl!” a DIY fan couldn’t get over the reset.

Are you looking to spruce up your bedroom with a lick of paint?
According to one expert, there are some colours that are better for a good night’s rest – while others are best avoided.
Geoff McKinnen, a certified sleep coach at Amerisleep, revealed in a new study that colours like blue, yellow, green, silver, orange, pink, and neutrals can reduce stress and soothe your nervous system.
Blue is one of the best colours to have in your bedroom as it’s associated with calm and relaxation, the study said.
It’s also a non-stimulating colour that causes your brain to produce more melatonin, the chemical that encourages sleep.
Yellow imitates sunshine, so it alleviates stress and promotes peace, the study said.
However, bright yellow should be avoided as it gives off more energy.
Orange can also be a great option as it has a warm tone “reminiscent of a sandy beach, creating a welcoming space,” the study said.
Green is another fantastic choice since it can be as soothing as blue, McKinnen said.
It’s important to pick a green that has more blue than yellow, so as not to increase your energy.
Silver and pink are other great choices, according to the study.
It is advisable to avoid non-matte slivers as they may keep you awake when light reflects off of them.
Pinks should also avoid red, as red produces cortisol, stress, and stimulation hormone to keep you awake.
Some poor choices in addition to red include bright purple, dark grey, brown, and red.
