Amy and her partner renovated their dream home in two and a half months. But, when they shared pictures of the finished house, some people criticized them for making it look like “every other couple’s modern house.”
They got rid of some original features, like the green carpet in the hallway and stairs. Amy shared before and after pictures on TikTok. In the original pictures, you could see the green carpet and dark wood banister. Amy mentioned they wanted to keep the banister and repaint it black, despite some advice against it.
They also renovated the bathroom to have a hotel-like feel and extended it by knocking down a wall. The bedroom turned out bigger than expected once they put their large bed in it.
They were happy with the size of the garden, which was one reason they bought the house. They finished the garden renovation just before winter, adding an outdoor barbecue area and planning to add more plants and patio pillars.
Some people in the comments didn’t like the changes, especially getting rid of the green carpet.
They thought the new look lacked character and was too generic. Others defended Amy’s choices, praising the cozy and homely feel of the renovated house.
Amy revealed that the renovation took two and a half months, with the garden taking longer due to the weather. She also mentioned plans for further renovations in 2024, including the kitchen, conservatory, and porch.
