I transformed an abandoned hoarder home for less than $100 – my LED ‘Chanel’ sign looks so luxurious
A CRAFTY DIYer transformed a hoarded room into a chic paradise with a few homemade decorations.
The best part is she only spent $100 on the renovation.
TikToker and DIYer Jessy (@jessybayjovy) hit the jackpot when she was offered to live in a room for free.
The only problem? It was packed to the brim with old junk.
“Watch me transform this messy and hoarded room into a beautiful and modern flat,” she began in the clip.
There were plastic containers, loose papers, cardboard boxes, blankets, broken furniture, a hula-hoop, and a decades-old computer.
“This was so hoarded. It was so much work here. No one has lived here in years, and I was offered to live here for free.”
She enlisted her mother to help her deck the place out.
“We started out by emptying the room, which took us a week.”
The duo then gave it a fresh feel by painting the ceiling and walls in a crisp white shade.
And to take it a step further, they ripped out the floors, washed it down, and lined it with sticky plastic tiles, which she claims only cost $1.
“They probably won’t last long but we can switch it.”
Outside in the garden, they were tasked with cleaning up the old furniture and dead plants, which they replaced with turf and charming seating.
“No one took care of this place for a long time.”
One of Jessy’s favorite décor items was the homemade Chanel sign her mother made.
“She cut this piece of wood, drilled holes into it, and made the background. It’s just ridiculous,” she said admiringly.
The black and white sign, which had Chanel’s classic double C logo in the center, was soon hung up over her bed with LED lights flashing behind it.
“It just looks so luxurious.”
The end result was a glitzy paradise, complete with a sleek black bed, chic throw pillows, and modern rugs.
“Great job ladies. Love it,” one viewer praised.
“Omg this is awesome,” echoed another.
