Some apartments and flats in South Africa have fallen into disarray, but one man wanted to do something about it. A gent shared the process of how he turned a rundown-looking flat into a homely place filled with exquisite finishes.

And renovate he did. The next slide shows the dull carpet floor of the apartment with an amazing view while the next shows how the apartment was still a work in progress and how he is still trying to get to terms with being a property owner.

Watch the clip below:

Progress being made

The rest of the clip shows the massive leaps he made in fixing up the place. The old carpet was removed and the kitchen was completely redone. The furniture introduced into the apartment was the icing on the cake.
