Courtney McCarraher Bonnet, a mom of two from Pittsburgh, moved into a new home with her family a few months ago.
On the surface, the home was pretty un-noteworthy — until she spotted a tiny, rusty-looking cupboard under the staircase.
Anyone else would have probably left it alone, or used it simply for storage. But Courtney decided to make this little room her personal DIY project for the next week.
She wanted to recreate the iconic little room under the stairs from the Harry Potter series, books that had made a profound impact on her.
Like the mom who used bare materials to make a lovely tepee for her kid, Courtney was particularly resourceful in her use of leftover and recycled objects. The finished room looked absolutely marvelous!
