And DIY fans from across the nation were quick to comment on the post, which has since racked up over 7,000 likes, admitting their own teenagers would love a similar style room. 

Charlene shared a series of photographs that documented the process of the shed transformation from start to finish. 

Before the overhaul, the room looked uninviting, with untouched brick walls in an empty and unused space.

However, after her husband’s handiwork, what once was nothing more than a tired-looking shed appears to have been given a new lease of life – that any young girl would be proud to call her room. 

It boasts everything from an LED mirror, stylish rose gold wallpaper, TV and even comes complete with neon pink ceiling lights.   

‘That’s amazing he’s done a fabulous job I’m sure your 13-year-old is so happy and grateful to have her own space as well,’ enthused one impressed social media user.
