Why this Aussie mum’s BUDGET BEDROOM MAKEOVER for her daughter has gone viral

Best Christmas present ever! - by Nikki Black
  • 26 Dec 2018

We hope you have the Kleenex handy for this story!

In one of the sweetest Christmas stories to come out of yesterday, one mum has pulled off an epic present for her 14-year-old daughter. 

Why this Aussie mum’s BUDGET BEDROOM MAKEOVER for her daughter has gone viral

Gorgeous mum Sammie took to the fabulous Kmart Mums Australia Facebook page to reveal that she’d pulled together a surprise makeover for her daughter’s bedroom - and the results are unbelievable!

‘I decided last minute I was going to do my 14yr old daughters room up for Christmas as she’s away till Christmas morning,’ Sammie revealed. ‘Her room had nothing in it bar a bed and a table.. I walked into Kmart and came out with an entire room in less then an hour. I really hope she likes it.’

Posting a before pic of the room, Sammie showed that her daughter’s room contained a bed from Fantastic Furniture and a desk and mirror from IKEA - but everything else in the room was from Kmart. Amazing!

The response from her fellow Kmart Mums Australia followers was breathtaking, with her sweet post going viral on the page with 15,000 likes and hundreds and hundreds of comments - with many begging Sammie to come and do a similar makeover on their homes!

‘The room looks beautiful, you have done amazing job and looks like designer pieces,’ wrote one follower. Added another: ‘This is lovely 😍😍 I’m sure she will love it. It’s very grown up and sophisticated, perfect for a young lady. I hope she loves it.’

Said another: ‘She will love it. What a beautiful gift from a mother to her daughter. Merry Christmas to you and your family.’

But the best reaction of all came from Sammie’s daughter! The loving mum shared a video of her daughter walking into her new bedroom for the first time - and let’s just say there were lots of tears and joy, and not just from Sammie and her daughter!

‘Oh my. I’m crying tears of joy and I don’t even know you guys! What a wonderful gift and a wonderful reaction. Merry Christmas to you all xx’ wrote one Kmart Mums Australia follower.

Added another: ‘Worth every cent and more!’

We couldn’t agree more! For more amazing makeovers and inpiration, head over to Kmart Mums Australia’s Facebook group here - you’ll love it.
