We rented for so many years, and we always improved it to make ourselves comfortable. At our own expense. We always left the home better than we found it. It is only now, in our senior years that we have been gifted a beautiful home by our son.

What a hard working woman she is , all the time and work she has put into this place has paid off as it is so pretty now !!

My son and I rented for from the time he was 7mths to 22yrs old - at which time he moved into his own house - we had to move every 2 - 3 yrs, due to rent increases , or house sale. The houses were always a filthy horror story wich friends and family would beg me not to take. I always maintained that it is always what you make of it. I would scrub the house and do repairs, clean up the garden and retic. Owners were always somewhat shocked and pleased, not enough to drop the rent though! They would then start raising the rent on me, and the rent for the new tenant would be half as much again. I never once had an owner come to me and thank me for what I and my son had done for them. I don’t mean I expected it, but they never acknowledged any of the hard work or cost that went into it. Everyone used to say that they wouldn’t bother as it’s not theirs, I always said that we have to live there so make it comfortable for us, which we did. I always felt proud to leave a house in better condition than others left it to me.

I don’t think that place was ever cleaned before she got in there and did her magic on the place!

Wow! I’m so impressed with your hard work and sense of style. You made a remarkable home for you and your son!

Well done! I didn't want this video to end! Thank you.

She is so efficient at doing this. It's as if she does it for a living! She probably does a lot of Make Readies for new tenants.

Every mom needs a son like him. It's all in the raising

This is a FANTASTIC job ,lady. Bravo .!!

I did the same to my apartment in Shanghai. It was owned by my company, so I didn’t have to pay rent, so I refurbished the place. I even painted my entry gate and fire doors, all my neighbours loved the fresh look. The kitchen was the hardest, as so much build up grease.. It cost me about RMB10k which in Shanghai is the average salary a month a local. Amen for IKEA.

Amazing and beautiful. Strong will and determination shows ❤

Very beautiful job. How nice it is going to feel coming home to your classy place. Hard work but you did it!!! Congratulations.

As a long time renter, then after brief home ownership and all the headaches that came with it, I decided renting is not so bad at retirement. And I live somewhere that they really don’t mind what I do. I live in a long narrow studio. One room. Twin bed at one end with a small sitting area. The other end has a very tiny small galley kitchen with a dorm sized fridge and a stove literally avocado green from the 1960’s. It still works at present though I think at some point the very stiff looking wires look sort of fragile. It will either need rewired or a new stove. I have a small restroom shower in a separate room. I am on the side of the landlords really dirty dusty garage and have to enter through the garage. So very easy to track in dirt, but I just sweep and mop daily and make sure a bit of apartment is dusted down each day do the entire thing is dusted and cleaned once a week. In the middle section of the studio is my huge quilting table sitting along one wall, with storage metal shelving beside it. On opposite wall is a sort of little art studio, also along the wall. I have one small window, mostly taken up by the air conditioning unit. I also have a small backyard. Where I have planted flowers and vegetables and a bit of seating. I will work on it slowly and make it my own.

Doesn't seem like a rental for the effort she put in. Like her heart and soul. Good job.

Bravo you are a strong woman❤

Well done. Excellent job. You have a beautiful home now.

I love the marble flooring and the Tiffany skylight. Did she make those glass cabinets herself. Boy that kitchen gas stove is is restored to a very very expensive one. Even the baseboards are the real expensive kind. And the did all this with a little soap and water. She really is a genius!

When my son bought his house, we took so many layers of wallpaper off the dining room walls, we accidentally took some of the paper off the drywall. We just textured the walls and they looked great.

Amazing and charming. Beautiful work

Eres un genio y mi mayor inspiración. Saludos desde Guatemala, Centro América

I live in manhattan NY. And the apartment is beautiful great work.❤❤❤😂

She worked so hard. Great job!good for you. You are to be congratulated!

Beautiful! The only that bothers me greatly is curtains behind the stove. Yikes!!!

What a motivational video! ❤

Good job realize not everyone has the ability or know how or some have physical limitations to do that much work,some people are doing there best if they can do 4 to 10 tasks a day,not everyone is the same

Hermoso le quedo. ❤👏👏👏Patricia. Desde Argentina

Very talented girl.. creative.

Wow, that's amazing!!!

I think something was lost in translation, she would have had to bought a run down apartment because no one would ever spend the money she has, not to mention time and effort to line a landlords pocket. She could be a house flipper for all we know or just a project of her own to live in.

BEAUTIFUL JOB ❤❤❤😮😮😮

Auch hier ziehe ich meinen Hut vor diesem phantastischen Mädchen. Was sie geschaffen hat mit Mut, Fleiss, künstlerischem Ambiente, Umweltschutz durch Weiterverarbeitung vorhandener Materialien daa inspiriert mich ungemein. Auch wenn ich das nicht nehr kann, so schaue ich mir so etwas gerne an. Hoch lebe dieses Mödchen! ❤❤❤👷‍♀️👸🙇‍♀️ich verneige nich vor ihr.✌👌👍❤❤❤

I like the color blue better than the green. But if is rented place all the work and effort to make it look good is just for you or how many people will be moving in with you.

Very classy!❤

It breaks my heart that you painted over that absolutely beautiful marble floor 😢 What you did with the rest of the place is amazing!❤

I cannot imagine that much money and work for a rental.

Excellent work congrats ❤

People are so lazy these days all they know is to complain about everything but too lazy to do something about it 😂😅 just because your paying rent doesn't mean you shouldn't keep y'all places clean

Bizarre que tout ne soit pas fini à la fin de la vidéo …. Trop de choses …. Il faut éviter les longueurs et proposer la vision des travaux finis. Sinon, on ne se rend pas compte de l’ampleur des résultats. 😊

Great job! Only problem now is that the owner might raise the rent! 😮

Be careful I improved my rental so much my landlord took it back to raise the rent sky high. His family tore it up, I re did hardwood floors, painted, wall papered one wall in bedrooms, mirrored my front room wall and painted. New carpets etc.

❤I wish that I could do the things that she is doing, it is great. Wow come to n.y.c we need you to help other people here to do this.😊

Te quedo muy bonito ! Mis mas sinceras felicitaciones ❤❤

You should open a cleaning service for homes in need of real deep cleaning. You're young and in good health your mom too. Congrats!

Brilliantly done ✅✅✅

exelente transformacion felicidades

Такую работу проделали-молодцы!👍🤗

Great job, but I really wish she’d painted the woodwork white 🙂

Parabéns ficou simplesmente perfeito excelente 👏👍🇧🇷

...AS MULHERES SÃO CAPAZES DE MUDAR O MUNDO PARA MELHOR.... PARABÉNS POR ESTE MAGNÍFICO TRABALHO. UM ABRAÇO DESDE PORTUGAL ❤❤

I want that foamy cleaning stuff ;-)

The landlord will probably raise the rent now.

I thought the floors were better if they were left alone. I agree it’s going to be a nightmare when that paint wears and starts to come off.

❤❤❤❤ So beautiful done. I've your creativity.

Tolle Arbeit viel Glück im neuen Zuhause 😊 LG aus Österreich

You have don very nice job❤

Please paint all door frames, window frames, ceilings, inbuilt furniture and base boards white gloss

Vraiment géniale pour avoir transformer ce taudis en un bel appartement. I like.❤❤❤❤ from Morroco.

I did that, for years I sacrificed so I can have a completely new flat. After years of hard work I proudly sat down and thought I made it.Until the owner who didn't recognise the place decided to

Ficou lindo apartamento ❤vc tem bom gosto Parabéns,só a cor Verde,azul tá estranho,nós no Brasil cores claras mais vcs gostam tudo bem❤

You are AWESOME! Gorgeous. ❤ Shirley

Don't expect everyone to be pushed to the limit when u don't know everyone has limits according to how much they have gone thru

Elle revient de loin ...👏👏👏

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

Floors are in exceptional condition for the rest of the apartment

Incrível!!!

Très bon travail, félicitations. 🎉🎉🎉❤

...con semejante limpieza ya pagaste más de un año de alquiler...

Bonjour, superbe bravo

Wao se io ero il proprietario x anni non avrei chiesto l'affitto 🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️🙌🙌🙏💯💯💯🇮🇹🇮🇹💋💋💋👍

Eu só não entendo é pintar depois por um papel contacte por cima, mas no geral foi uma boa reforma. Outra coisa são os materiais de limpeza que fazem milagres a gente não tem por aqui. 🇧🇷

تعلموا اكثر عن الاسلام بلغتكم من نت الجوال ويوتوبات الجوال وعلموه كبار السن واقاربكم فهو السعاده في الدنيا والاخره💕♥️

Formidável. ❤

We always clean from top to bottom

I would love to know where she got the chandelier with the puff flower globes.

👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 greetings vom Hungary Central Europe Congratulations!

Bravo

Reconstruir ese desastre de apartamento y de paso pagarle un alquiler? Yo no hago eso! 😳

Good joop ❤❤❤👍

De Argentina 🇦🇷🎉 🍀

WAUUU SUPER -)

E depois de toda essa reforma o aluguel continuou o mesmo valor? O que fez o proprietário?

Hi, what did you spray on the wall paper, cabinets and the cabinet knobs?

Wonderful transformation! Why do you wear masks?

3 Months Later: Landlord: Knock Knock! Tenant: Who's there? Landlord: The Landlord! Tenant: Please come in. Landlord: This is a surprise inspection. Ten minutes Later: Landlord: I must inform you, the rent has been increased to $2,000 per month effective immediately! 😆

It seems to be a complication of many projects- at least 2 different kitchens shown

Bravissima!!👍

Que lindo saber del jikook en el SM .....otra cosa que amo es que cada vez que jungkook mira a jimin aparece namjoon en el medio 😂😂😂😂 los amo gracias karito por tan lindos videos 💜 saludo desde Uruguay 🇺🇾

Bravissima!

demolition the whole building and in a year or so I was homeless. 😢😢They didn't give me any choice. My landlords were lawyers so I couldn't fight. 😢New bathrooms new windows, balcony...... demolished 😢

If the door on the fridge doesn’t stay open, it’s not level so it may not work as it should.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
