I’ve totally revamped my council house but there’s two things I regret buying – both are a nightmare with kids around
A WOMAN who has completely revamped her council house has admitted there’s two things she regrets buying.
Mercy has managed to transform the property from a bare, tired-looking shell, into a cosy, elegant home.
But if she had to do it again, she wouldn’t bother getting a glass-topped dining table, or white curtains.
She explained why in a video on her TikTok page, as she revealed the “things in my home I regret buying”.
Of her glass table, Mercy said that it “shows every mark and fingerprint”.
Because of that, it “constantly needs to be cleaned”.
And she feels similarly about the white curtains in her front room, admitting they “get dirty so quickly”.
“Avoid if you have young children,” she added.
People were quick to comment on Mercy’s video, with many admitting they could relate to what she was saying.
“Oh girl same with the glass table. Drives me insane!” one wrote.
As another added: “Glass dining table with children #pain.”
“Heavy on the glass table, too much stress,” a third commented.
“My biggest regret is my glass table! Love your chairs though,” someone else commented.
As another wrote: “Yh I will never buy those I learned long time ago!
“Wooden tables all the way and dark curtains always.”
“Black curtains would look nice instead with long voile,” someone else suggested.
While another person wrote: “You can get some really cute covers or a runner for glass tables !!”
