“The Tiles Look So Beautiful”: Afrikaans Couple Shows DIY Bathroom Renovation, SA Impressed

• An Afrikaner woman showcased an update on her and her husband's ongoing bathroom renovation project, and many love it
• The thorough, step-by-step DIY process was detailed in a clip posted on a popular video-sharing platform, TikTok
• Social media users were highly impressed by the couple's craftsmanship, leading to many compliments and questions

A local couple's ambitious home improvement project captured the attention of many internet users.

The woman, TikTok user @alienkaduplessis28, shared the clip on the platform and garnered widespread appreciation from viewers who were inspired by the duo.

The video begins with a brief glimpse of the old bathroom, then transitions into a detailed, step-by-step account of the ongoing renovation. The wife explains that they had been working on the project for nearly a week, showcasing the completed plumbing and wall tiling. A man assists with the floor tiling, which the wife notes was the final and most challenging part of the tile work.

The next phase involved installing all the new bathroom fixtures and fittings. The clip then shows the husband learning to install a toilet, a task the wife admits was quite complicated. They tackled all the grouting themselves, a process that, including the sculpting of the grout, took approximately two days.

DIY bathroom transformation

The extensive building and breaking work left their house covered in a thick layer of dust. To address the mess, they hired two helpers, and with the wife's efforts, the trio spent nine hours thoroughly cleaning the entire house. Embracing creativity, the wife consulted an AI tool for advice on how to spray her gold items without clogging. They successfully sprayed various items with aerosol before installing a new toilet, which they were delighted with, and a shower screen.

SA praises the couple's DIY work

The clip received many views, likes, and comments from social media users who were impressed by the couple's dedication and skill. Many expressed their admiration for the lovely work, highlighting specific details of the renovation that they found most appealing. Some shared their own experiences as DIY enthusiasts, confirming they too enjoyed renovating their homes. Others enquired about the Temu code for the shower material, inspired by their beautiful results.
