Single Mom's DIY Flooring Transformation: From Stains to Stunning
A UK-based single mother, Angel Fletcher, recently shared her impressive home renovation journey, transforming her living room and kitchen floors from heavily stained carpets to modern, light-colored vinyl. Documenting the process on social media, Fletcher, who is 24 weeks pregnant and a mother of two, explained that the original carpets had been damaged by her previous dog, Bailey Boy, who was not toilet trained, and later by her children's paint spills.The video details the meticulous process of removing the old, odorous carpets and underlay, revealing deeply embedded stains. Fletcher, with the help of a friend, then diligently removed carpet grippers and cleaned the concrete subfloor using a homemade solution. She then proceeded to install self-adhesive vinyl flooring from a TikTok Shop company called "Living and Home.""It feels so clean and fresh," Fletcher stated, expressing her immense satisfaction with the new floor. Despite the physical toll, including bruised knees from kneeling, she highlighted the ease of installation for the self-adhesive tiles. The transformation offers inspiration for others looking to undertake similar home improvement projects.
