A woman captivated the attention of social media users with an inspiring vlog documenting the beginning of her home renovation project.
The clip, shared by TikTok user @mishalevin_, was met with an outpouring of compliments and admiration.
The woman, TikTok user @mishalevin_, starts her video by sharing the interior of her 80s facebrick home. She shows the outdated white kitchen cupboards and rooms that are divided into more enclosed spaces. She says her goal is to make the home more open, modern, and a little brighter to bring in more light, which means breaking some of the walls into an open-plan area.
Choosing the right material for the kitchen
She also notes that she wants whoever is in the kitchen to feel like they are part of things, describing the kitchen as the most important feature of a home. The lady explains how obsessed she is with small details while in consultation with one of the companies used, showing from the wood type to the paint colour selection. The content creator also mentions a few features she's excited about, which include a secret pantry, gas-filled windows, a peninsula, and integrated appliances.
