A single mom has taken her council house from drab to fab using freebies from a homeless charity. Minnie Harris, a 20-year-old mom of two under two, has been documenting her impressive DIY renovation journey on TikTok.
Revamping the Kitchen and Dining Room
Minnie, who recently moved into her council house in Norfolk, wasted no time in adding her personal touch. Starting with the kitchen, she transformed the bland white walls into a vibrant green and adorned them with pictures and shelves from B&M.
In the dining room, Minnie scored some Primark bargains like fake hanging plants and cute pink floral bowls. The centerpiece is a stylish white table and chairs set, which she received for free from a homeless charity.
Inspiring Reactions and Support
Minnie’s TikTok video, shared under the username @minnieharrisuk, has garnered over 500,000 views and counting. Viewers have been quick to shower her with praise and admiration for her DIY skills and dedication.
One user commented, “Yes, you don’t need a DIY man, you are a DIY man!” Another user said, “You’ve done a great job so far, especially with two babies.” The overwhelming response has been positive, with many commending Minnie for creating a beautiful home for herself and her children.
Empowering DIY and Renovation
Minnie’s story is a powerful testament to the potential of DIY and renovation for anyone, regardless of their circumstances. With determination and a little help from a homeless charity, she has transformed her council house into a cozy and stylish home.
Council tenants are allowed to make alterations and renovations to their homes, as long as they meet building regulations and planning permission requirements. Minnie’s story is an inspiration to others who may be considering DIY projects to make their space their own.
