They took to TikTok to share their house journey and said:
"We wanted to get this whole house renovation done in under a year, and in doing so, we started off with the easy options."
See the video below:
She said they started with the bedrooms to give them a modern refresh.
They opted for green panelling and a tasteful neutral carpet, and Anya explained,
"Bedrooms are the cheapest and easiest things to decorate, so we did those first and then moved on to the harder things."
Despite keeping to a strict budget, the pair managed to keep costs low by doing most of the handy work themselves.
However, they have now asked strangers on TikTok for a little extra cash as they still need to renovate the downstairs toilet, garden, and outside of the house.
However, the young homeowner has had an idea.
"So you're probably wondering how I'm going to get R691.926 in four months," the young homeowner said.
She revealed that she thinks it's possible, all thanks to "TikTok's new creativity programme."
"I've worked out I'm going to need 60 million views to get the money, so if you guys could help me by following me or even liking this video then I promise you I am going to deliver and show you the renovation," Anya said.
TikTokers react to woman asking for renovation funding
The response to her video has been mixed. Some claimed they were shocked by her idea.
One TikToker commented:
"TikTok begging now, you go queen."
Another added:
"Or you could just get a loan,"
Others told her to keep the garden how it was.
One person reacted:
"No, the garden is perfect—save the money and leave it as it is."
