A YOUNG man who spent days decorating his new council house showed off the transformation.
Connor, from the UK, took to social media to show off the two rooms he had finally finished decorating in his new home, but not everyone was a fan.
He said: “After 11 long days of decorating my new council house, I can actually say that two rooms are finally complete.”
Connor then took viewers to look inside his new front room and people were left stunned by his design choices.
The room had a strict colour scheme of red, black, and white.
The off-white sofa was bought on Facebook Marketplace and jazzed up with a white blanket with red flowers and an array of cushions in his chosen colour scheme.
“The couch I got off Facebook Marketplace, it’ll do for now,” he said.
“Eventually, I do want like a sofa club one I think, and maybe a two seater chair.”
To the right of the sofa was a white electric fireplace and a feature wall with red floral wallpaper.
“I do need to put a big mirror up above the fireplace there, but I’m just waiting for the wallpaper just to dry a little bit cause I only put it up yesterday,” he explained.
He used three sets of curtains for the windows in black, white, and red, and a huge floral-printed rug sat in the middle of the floor.
On the left side of the room, Connor had a collection of china figurines on display as well as a large statue of two fairy children.
