We bought a rundown house with bright green carpet & turned it into a dream home – people say it’s a different house now
A COUPLE have shared how they turned a rundown, old fashioned house into their dream home – and people can’t believe it’s the same place.
Amy Wright shared her and her partner’s home renovation journey via videos posted to her TikTok channel.
In ‘before’ clips of the property, the house is covered in bright green carpets and outdated textured wallpaper that looks as though it hasn’t been changed for decades.
The house was filled with 60s style garish furniture and the garden was completely trashed.
The couple, who bought the house as their first property aged just 24 and 25 stripped off the wallpaper, threw away all of the furniture and ripped up the carpets to create a modern and stylish looking home.
In the living room, they created a home cinema look by mounting the TV into the wall and fitting a cosy electric fire underneath it.
In the hallway, they kept the original bannister but painted it black and upcycled it, to give it a sleek and sophisticated look.
In the garden, they added a patio and an outdoor BBQ area, perfect for warm summer nights.
Amy said that the dramatic transformation took just two and a half months to complete and added that she and her partner had “saved and saved and saved” to be able to afford the property.
She added that they did most of the work on the house themselves to save on labour costs.
TikTok users rushed to the video’s comments section to praise the couple over their home renovation.
One user said: “Omg u made it look soo good it looks like a different house!”
Another added: “Extremely stylish, a home is an expression of those that live there. The bedroom I love especially. Well done, successful transformation.”
A third person said: “Omg, your house had a glow up!”
