"I promised myself this🥳❤️for my 23 birthday and I made it. My new apartment that I started from scratch with my salon money🥳🥳❤️"
The inspiring footage shows her making multiple trips to hardware stores to buy building materials, doors, windows and everything needed for construction. Viewers can see labourers mixing cement with sand, pouring concrete for the flooring, and setting up the structure of her new home.
The building process included installing a ceiling, putting up walls, tiling the floors, and painting the exterior a beautiful dark grey colour. She showed the electrical work being done, lighting being installed, and crack filler being used to perfect the walls.
Once the construction was complete, she moved on to decorating and furnishing her new space. The video shows her bringing in bedroom furniture including a bed, headboard, curtain railing, and an inflatable mattress. She finished everything off with curtains and decorative items to make it feel like home.
