We bought the ugliest house on the street – people’s jaws drop when they see the transformation & we used IKEA bargains
MANY people try and find their dream home when they are buying, but one couple said they searched for the “ugliest house” they could find – and it’s certainly paid off.
Mahalia Fisher shared snaps of the first house she bought with her partner, which had brown floors and bland yellow walls.
The Australian homeowner got to work and fully transformed the “ugly” 1980s pad to look absolutely jaw-dropping.
The “before” images looked dated and couldn’t be further from a Pinterest-perfect home, but the finished result impressed internet users.
The couple showed how they ripped up the old carpets and added sleek wooden floors.
They also added white panelling to the walls, turned the kitchen into a stylish white shade to match and added chic furniture.
Thankfully this didn’t all break the bank, and she added DIY IKEA wooden-look wardrobes to the bedroom in the place of the dull white cupboards.
Mahalia wrote on her @mahalia.fisher account: “POV you bought the ugliest house you could find.
“Worth the wait I promise.”
Her clip has racked up 47,000 likes and she’s gained thousands of fans who follow her renovation journey.
Many people were impressed, with one saying: “Omg this is better than I thought it’d be.”
Another added: “Such an amazing job! You must be super proud.”
