The mother painted the cafe using a cute grey and pink theme before adding adorable floral arrangements, a seating area and even a walk-up window to place ‘orders’.
Captioning her images, she wrote: ‘From toy dumping ground to cute little cafe. Please ignore my fence, it needs painting.
‘All flowers cost £11. Paint I already had. I just cut a hole in the side to make the cafe area, used the piece of wood I cut out to use as a shelf.
‘Spray painted the chairs from yellow to silver. Silver spray paint £3. Flowers are off eBay, search for wisteria vines.
The thrifty mother also made sure the cafe could be used in the darker evenings, adding a gorgeous display of fairy lights around the edges of the roof (pictured)

‘The Mill House Longridge supplies the paint for the doors and windows in all colours and they sell brushes. Grey paint is the cuprinol garden shades paint.’
