The Kmart cubby house hack taking the Internet by storm

Your little one can officially own a home better than yours! - by Georgia Mars
  • 18 Dec 2017

It's official - your toddler can now own a home better than yours! Thanks to the clever mums of the internet, a $199 Kmart cubby house has become one of Australia's most sought after homes.

PR mogul Roxy Jacenko posted a number of photos to Instagram of the cubby she had 'renovated' for her daughter Pixie and son Hunter, and shared how some very clever tricks transformed the seemingly plain old cubby into a chic beach house.

However, Jacenko was not the only mum to share the amazing cubby transformation. The 'cubby house challenge' has become a trend on social media, and there have been some pretty incredible renos!
