In person, she spent 20,000 yuan to transform the rough house.
Netizens are asking for experience sharing.
At the beginning of January this year, Minger (pseudonym), who works in Wuhan, began to update this transformation process online in real time. From the clearing and cleaning of rough houses to the details of kitchen decoration, Minger told the whole process of transformation with video.

Her account attracted more than 1,500 fans in four months, and the message area became a "decoration experience exchange conference". Netizens threw out various questions: "How to waterproof the bathroom?" "How many watts is suitable for ceiling lamps?" "How to treat the wall is beautiful?" She’s leaving a message about how to handle the next reply.

On May 11th, the reporter of Changjiang Daily saw during the visit that the renovated blank house had no traditional partition, and the open layout skillfully integrated the living room, study room, bedroom, cloakroom and other spaces. The curtain was transformed by Minger with old sheets, and the shelf and hanger were also assembled by herself, which only cost more than 200 yuan.

Talking about the original intention of staying in a rough house, Minger admits that she has been renting a house outside in recent years, but renting a house has some shortcomings in all aspects. In December last year, my best friend offered to let her stay in an idle rough house in Hongshan District for free, which needed to be decorated simply by herself, which was exactly what she wanted. She calculated an account and found that the cost of renting a house for two years far exceeded 20 thousand yuan, and she could use this money to build a warm nest of her own.

Due to the limited decoration budget, she resolutely gave up the "big projects" such as balcony sealing and tile sticking, and focused on the basic transformation of water and electricity, kitchen and bathroom, wall and floor. Laying circuits with open wires not only saves costs, but also leaves room for future demolition. The ground has only been solidified and painted with topcoat, which is dust-proof and easy to clean. She and her friends personally went into battle to paint, and the decoration master also took her to the defective brick area and the corridor "Taobao" to find old furniture that the neighbors didn’t want, which saved a lot of money.

My friend exclaimed as soon as he entered the door:
"I didn’t expect a rough house to live so comfortably."
"Although the house is a blank, life can be hardcover." This is Minger’s signature on social media. In her view, the harmony of furniture and home appliances is far more important than the gorgeous appearance of the house. In the past, when renting a house, because the landlord didn’t reserve a dishwasher, she had to put the dishwasher on the balcony and run back and forth every time she washed the dishes. Now that she has decorated herself, she deliberately asked the master to reserve the position of the dishwasher, which makes it much more convenient to do housework.

Minger told Changjiang Daily that her choice was not understood by her parents at first, and even considered as "nonsense" by them. But when parents saw their daughter turn the rough house into a comfortable home little by little, their attitude gradually changed. My mother, although she is not forgiving, quietly sponsored a washing machine.
Not long ago, Minger held a warm house party. As soon as friends entered the door, they sighed, "I didn’t expect a rough house to live so comfortably!" " My best friend didn’t recognize her own house, and she felt particularly warm after the renovation of her new home.

"I’ve always liked tossing and challenging new things. The renovation process is really tiring, and I admire myself for sticking to it. Next, I will continue to update the video and share more dry goods for decoration. " She said.
