I live in a ‘dream’ home & people say I have it ‘easy’ because I have a ‘rich’ man – 9 things I do that prove otherwise
A WOMAN who’s been trolled for having it ‘easy’ has hit back at meanies after proving just how much she does around the house whilst her ‘rich’ hubby is at work.
If we could, most of us wouldn’t mind staying at home and making it look as cosy as possible – and for one woman, Kirsty Gore, our dream’s become the reality.
The savvy DIY fanatic and her hubby bought a run-down property a few years ago and since the big move Kirsty has managed to totally revamp it.
The lavish makeover, The Sun recently reported, included a garden transformation, sleek and modern rooms, and even a compact outdoor kitchen.
“We bought the worst house on the street.
“With a tight budget, hard work and lots of DIY, we made it into our dream family home,” Kirsty proudly shared the jaw-dropping journey.
However, whilst the Before and After snaps are seriously impressive, the crafty DIY lover has also been accussed of doing nothing but spending money on homeware every day.
According to Kirsty, who regularly shares home interior-related content on TikTok, keyboard warriors tend to assume she has it all easy.
One meanie, for instance, recently commented saying that she had a wealthy man to support the expenses, implying this was not the reality for many cash-strapped households.
”Oh, to have a rich husband so you can do nothing but buy stuff all day.”
Hitting back at the trolls, Kirsty claimed that although she’d love for it to be the case, it couldn’t be any further from the reality.
Instead of sitting all cosy indoors and ordering stuff online, the DIY fanatic loves keeping busy by constantly working on new projects to renovate the house even more – whether that means working in the garden, painting the walls or making a stunning feature wall all by herself.
”I thought I’d share an example of some of the ‘ very quick to judge’ (and probably after seeing one reel) type of comments I get!” the craft enthusiast said in the video.
”Social media is a tricky one! Everyone on here shares snippets of their lives and no one really knows what goes on in their ‘real lives’ just the things they choose to share.”
Amongst just some of the projects Kirsty has taken up on include transforming their grubby driveway for £300 after being quoted an astronimical £10k and making adorable and stylish cushions using a cheap IKEA throw.
Other viral makeovers that have taken the social media platform buy storm are DIY boarders she created for £150, making festive Christmas stars out of paper, a modern fireplace Christmas garland and designing their son’s bedroom.
”If you love a bit of DIY, neutral aesthetics, creating, abit of fashion and some holiday inspo thrown in-your in the right place!
”I’m just me! Doing what I love! And hoping to inspire you along the way!”
Luckily for the savvy mum, there has also been heaps of support online, with dozens of fans racing to comments to praise her hard work.
One woman tagged the mean troll, joking: ”Oh Ronnie, us wives of rich husbands don’t buy stuff ALL day.
”I take a break from purchasing when I walk the dogs & nap, we’re only human.”
Another chimed in: ”Sitting round or not- your house is beautiful.”
Someone elde agreed, writing: ”That is clearly a comment coming from jealousy – great work on your home and I admire your skills!”
”Such a capable, hard working wife Everybody could only wish for. But even if She bought all that, so what? Her right to do so,” a social media user added.
”wow guess they judge without truly looking at all your posts or following your journey,” a fifth penned.
