I hated my tatty council house garden so gave it the ultimate glow up & people are shocked that it’s even the same place
A COUPLE revealed that they recently moved into their three-bedroom council house in Essex and got to work on giving the home a makeover.
Posting on TikTok under the username @mrs_and_mrs_west, Mrs West explained that while the inside of the house needed a transformation, the front garden was getting on her nerves too.
The woman showed off her council house front garden, which was very plain and was lacking life.
The Essex garden was lacking greenery, the fence was a tired light brown colour and it was in desperate need of some TLC.
She said: “I hated this part of the house so much.
“It didn’t give off a good first impression.
“But I needed the house sorting first…”
She then added: “Front garden had a broken gate and I don’t think it had been looked after.
“We originally planned to get a brick wall but decided a tidy up and paint would do the job for a quick fix.”
The DIY fan got to work on her front garden – she gave the garden a tidy, removing all the weeds and then got to painting.
She gave her fence a paint, transforming it from a tired brown to a chic black.
She also gave the black door a paint and changed it to a modern light grey.
Not only this but she also added a beautiful floral wreath to the front door too.
As well as this, she planted some lovely flowers to really give the garden some colour and personality.
She noted: “Took me three days to tidy and paint.
“Love the end result.
“Not perfect but better than before.”
Her new front garden looks fabulous and we think she did a brilliant job on the transformation.
The woman’s video has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly racked up 362.3k views.
It has 5,703 likes, 128 comments and 7 shares.
Social media users were left open-mouthed at the woman’s work and were eager to express this in the comments.
One person said: “Looks clean and beautiful. I wished all tenants looked after like this. You may not own but it is still your castle. Well done to you.”
Another added: “Great job, looks so much better, a bit of effort makes such a difference.”
A third commented: “Well done, great improvement.”
