DECORATING any house is a big challenge, not to mention pretty pricey.<\/p>\n
When 18-year-old Courtney Griffiths, from north Wales, transformed a grotty council house into her dream home she was proud of the result.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
But mean trolls had other thoughts and slammed Courtney over the fact her freshly decorated pad is a council house.<\/p>\n
In a clip shared on TikTok, Courtney proudly showed off the before and after of her home.<\/p>\n
Before decorating, the the magnolia walls were completely bare, there was no carpet and the house was a bit of an empty shell<\/span>.<\/p>\n But after the young homeowner added furniture and a few finishing touches it looked completely different.<\/p>\n The cold and empty living room got a huge corner sofa and matching foot rest, she added a huge TV, posh lighting, wall art and some plants to make the place feel more cosy.<\/p>\n It's not just the living room that got a huge makeover though – she even spruced up the hallway with grey laminate flooring, a huge mirror and some sweet family pictues.<\/p>\n Courtney also added some shelving to the front of the house, which made all the difference.<\/p>\n Even her bedroom got the DIY treatment and is now the perfect place to relax at the end of the day.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n But despite all her hard work and the impressive results, taunting trolls mocked her for, suggesting it doesn't count because it's a council house.<\/p>\n "The government did it," one person quipped.<\/p>\n "Doesn't count it's council," another jabbed.<\/p>\n Luckily, not everyone was so cruel and other supported Courtney and praised her hard work.<\/p>\n One said: "Absolutely stunning you should be so proud of yourself."<\/p>\n A second agreed: "I don't get what all the hate is for in a council house. I pay \u00a3402 a month for a two-bed house and don't have to pay for repairs or worry in case my boiler breaks.<\/p>\n "She's a young girl who's got off her bum and made it a home for her and her baby, why are people being so negative and hateful?"<\/p>\n And someone else commented: "This is such a proud moment."<\/p>\nREAD MORE ON HOMES<\/h2>\n
