In A Little Over 2 Years, This British Woman Increased This Old Semi’s Value By £110,000, And Turned Into Her Dream Home
Lyndsey Gynane is a 42-year-old British mother from Halewood, Liverpool, who recently stunned everyone by turning an old semi-detached house into her dream home. The woman spent two years on the project and has gained over 161k followers documenting the process from start to finish.
Lyndsey and her husband bought the house back in 2018 as a fixer-upper and instantly realized its hidden potential. In an interview with Liverpool Echo, she said that they have never renovated before but knew they could turn it into something more than just an ordinary three-bed semi. “People look at it on Instagram and think it’s a half-a-million-pound house, but it’s not, it’s just a three-bed semi in Liverpool,” said Lyndsey. “It just shows what you can do when you put your mind to it.” And while the couple hired people to do the major renovations, she did most of the renovations herself, including all of the interior.
