Princess Beatrice has put her DIY makeover skills to the test as a special gift to mark her grandmother's 60 years on the throne.
Beatrice, 23, redecorated a cute playhouse that Queen Elizabeth was given as a little girl.
Now, as Britain celebrates the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, the beautiful renovation of the little Wendy house has been unveiled. The home, called Y Bwthyn Bach (the Small House), was a present from the Welsh people to the then Princess Elizabeth, in March 1932 when she was just 5 years old.

Philip Treacy Defends Princess Beatrice's Hat
Originally posted 07/13/2011 09:00AM
It was the Royal Wedding hat ridiculed around the world. But now, the designer of Princess Beatrice's fascinating fascinator is defending it, and its wearer, from the fashion bullies.
"She is only 22, and there was a little bit of bullying going on," Philip Treacy tells Britain's Observer. "In the future, we'll look back and think she looked wild."
The hat has been likened to everything from an octopus to a pretzel to a toilet seat. But Treacy, 43, has a simpler description. "I thought I was making a hat with a bow on it," he says.

The hat that got a million tongues wagging – the pretzel-shaped fascinator atop Princess Beatrice's head on Royal Wedding Day – has been sold to an anonymous bidder.
The price? $130,000, and it's all going to charity.
The 22-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, had placed the Philip Treacy creation on eBay, to benefit two charities close to her heart: UNICEF and Children in Crisis, which was established by her mother.
Expressing her delight when the sale ended late Sunday, Beatrice said of the hat: "It has its own personality, and I am so happy that we have raised the most incredible amount of money and can make an even bigger change for the lives of some of the most vulnerable children across the world."

Sarah Ferguson spent more than a decade hoping the story of Queen Victoria's early life would be made into a movie.
And with Wednesday night's London premiere of The Young Victoria, starring Emily Blunt, she saw her dream come true.
The duchess – who co-produced the film – walked the purple carpet with her daughters, Princess Eugenie, 18, and college student Princess Beatrice, 20, who has a non-speaking role as one of Victoria's ladies-in-waiting.
Beatrice joked to reporters outside the cinema in London's West End, "If you blink you might miss me." She added that her "fantastic" day of filming was "so much fun," and that The Devil Wears Prada star Blunt made it "easy for me to relax."
