In it @girlmath123she shared exactly how she achieved it, and people are calling it “amazing.”
Before renovation work, its three-story bedroom housed living spaces, including the kitchen, dining room and lounge on the middle floor.
Meanwhile, the ground floor only had a pantry that she used to wash clothes and a bathroom.
Mom’s tactic was to convert the lower floor into the main living space and turn the middle floor into four bedrooms.
Meanwhile, the top floor originally had two bedrooms, but she divided one of them into two, making three in total.
With four bedrooms on the middle floor and three on the upper floor, she achieved her goal of getting seven bedrooms.
She wrote: “Renovating our 3 bedroom house into our 7 bedroom forever home.
“They’re decent sizes! We have two cabins on the top floor, but we can’t complain.
“We would definitely split into bigger rooms if we ever sold. But because it’s so tailored to our family and our needs, we never see ourselves selling it.”
Many people were impressed by his hard work, with his video racking up over 890,000 views.
One person wrote: “This is amazing! You also have stunning taste!
Another added: “It looks amazing! The rooms are not small either!”
And a third commented: “As a child from a blended family who never had her own space and felt so unwelcome, this warms my heart.”
Meanwhile, we’ve already shared how a thrifty mum created an extra bedroom for just £100, saving hundreds of pounds.

Carly desperately needed more space after her two sons, Ronnie and George, began to outgrow their shared bedroom.
However, with a small budget, the mum-of-three from Brighton had to brainstorm and find an easy and cheap way to share a bedroom – and she did just that.
Costing no more than £100, Carly was able to divide her children’s room in half using MDF boards and wooden panels, giving them both their own room with a divider in the middle.
