When 18-year-old Courtney Griffiths, from north Wales, transformed a grotty council house into her dream home she was proud of the result.
But mean trolls had other thoughts and slammed Courtney over the fact her freshly decorated pad is a council house.
In a clip shared on TikTok, Courtney proudly showed off the before and after of her home.

Courtney also added some shelving to the front of the house, which made all the difference.
Even her bedroom got the DIY treatment and is now the perfect place to relax at the end of the day.

"Doesn't count it's council," another jabbed.
Luckily, not everyone was so cruel and other supported Courtney and praised her hard work.
One said: "Absolutely stunning you should be so proud of yourself."
A second agreed: "I don't get what all the hate is for in a council house. I pay £402 a month for a two-bed house and don't have to pay for repairs or worry in case my boiler breaks.
