一名女子分享了她是如何在21岁的时候就能和伴侣一起买房并装修房子的。
现年24岁的贝丝?伯德(Beth Bird)在她21岁、未婚夫26岁的时候，花了不到14万英镑买了一套两居室，他们只用了一年时间就完成了大部分装修工作。
贝丝记录了这一过程中的一切，并分享了她实现这一切的一些最重要的技巧。
在学习期间，她做了一系列不同的工作，包括在当地假日公园打扫大篷车，经营自己的花束生意，她省下的钱超过了他们2021年4月买房时10%的首付。
这对夫妇选择了“街上最糟糕的房子”，并把它修缮一下，而不是花大价钱买一套更普通的房子。
现在，房子已经认不出来了。

贝丝是一名教育技术工作者，她说:“在这次装修之前，我甚至从来没有刷过墙，看到我凭借自己的信心和技能取得了这么大的进步，我感到很惊讶。”
在攻读心理学学位的同时，她能够登上房产阶梯。
贝丝毕业后，一切都准备好了，要把这个破旧的房子改造成她梦想中的住所。
贝丝解释说:“我上大学的时候住在家里，是为了省钱。
“我们非常幸运，能够在疫情后利率仍然很低的时候买入。

“在等了几个月才搬进来之后，我迫不及待地想要开始这个过程。
“拿到钥匙后的第二天早上，我撕开了浴室的地毯，并在当天开始撕墙纸。
“第一个晚上走在浴室的地毯上非常可怕。”
贝丝设法在短短六个月内完成了大部分工作，她希望每件事都“尽可能节省预算”，所以几乎所有的工作都是她自己做的，她说这为她节省了数千美元。
她花了大约6700英镑买了新的浴室和锅炉，这对夫妇雇了合适的新电器，因为他们“不想在这些地方犯任何代价高昂的错误”。
“光是一个新厨房的花费就相当于我们所有装修的费用。”
她在厨房里使用乙烯基、简单的油漆和橱柜油漆，这节省了工人和配件等费用。
她没有贴墙纸，而是在她的办公室和小白鼠的房间里画了简单的壁画，只花了2英镑。
贝丝说:“我们对一个很旧的电视柜和咖啡桌进行了升级改造，它们是我们在Facebook市场上免费得到的，只花了10英镑，省下了买新家具的钱。”
“现在我已经为每个房间DIY了墙体艺术，我花了12英镑从The Works买了巨大的画布，用便宜的万能填料和丙烯酸颜料来创造质感。”
贝丝还没有完成自己的DIY。
她说:“我正在用黑胶改造我妈妈的浴室，并在我的TikTok上录制了这个过程。”
“就像我对我的厨房做的那样，这是一种预算上的转变，以避免把所有东西都拆掉再重新开始。”
“我很喜欢(装修房子的)整个过程——我从自己做的很多工作中学到了很多新技能，我喜欢回顾以前的照片来比较改造的过程。”
请在下面的评论中发表你的看法
对于那些想自己动手做大型DIY项目的人，她建议多拍一些自己的照片。
“享受这个过程，”她说，“慢慢来，把一切都记录下来!”
“尽可能多地拍摄照片和视频。这听起来很傻，但你真的忘记了它以前的样子。
“有了这些照片，你就会想起自己取得了多大的成就，看到自己的进步也会让你感到非常满足。”
