I turned the worst house in the street into our dream hotel-esque pad – but now I’m trolled for my ‘boring’ home
A HOME owner has proudly shown off her renovation from “worst house in the street” to her “dream home”.
Louise, of TikTok page Renovating a House to a Home, bought the 1930s doer-upper and immediately set about “ripping it all apart”.
She then added an extension, admitting her home “got a lot worse before it got better”.
She said: “We added in this peak so it matched the neighbouring houses and rebuilt the bay in red brick so it would also match”.
The renovators also added a dormer loft conversion and underfloor heating, saying: “It’s now starting to all come together”.
Showing the various stages of rebuilding the property, Louise said “Work, work, work” and “Trust the process”.

She said: “We added cool features and lighting” – showing the automatic blinds and marble bathroom.
“Hotel vibes”, she added. “Dream home done!”
The video racked up 1.6 million likes by impressed viewers – who labelled the home “stunning” and “perfect!!!!!”
But some didn’t love the look, commenting: “Boring kitchen” and “it’s too hotel-ly for me”.
