We bought a super dated 50s council house and gave it a totally modern makeover – people say it’s their dream home now
A COUPLE have been inundated with praise online after revealing how they transformed an ex council house from the 1950s into a stylish, modern home.
Chelsie, who posts under the handle @chelsieloubick, took to TikTok and shared a video which she captioned: “Renovation project.”
In the clip, she then posts a series of photos showing the dated rooms inside her house that look in desperate need of some modernisation.
“We bought an ex council house build in the 1950s,” she says.
“Was super dated and needed lots of work.”
“So we ripped everything out and started the renovation.”
She went on to explain how she and her partner re-plumbed, re-wired, re-plastered – adding that everything was brand new.
“We sorted out the front and back gardens and built a utility room,” she continues.
