Jordanna immediately got to work painting the walls, pulling up the carpets and laying wooden floors.
On the stairs, she tore off the old carpet and replaced it with a stylish gray carpet from Amazon, incorporating small spotlights into the stairs.

Tenants of the municipality are allowed to make changes and renovations to their home.
However, they must ensure that all work is in accordance with building regulations and planning permission.
Council houses are made available by local authorities to people in need.
They are often cheaper than renting private homes and can also provide greater security against eviction.
Council housing is allocated to potential tenants on a points-based system, with those in greater need receiving homes first.
If you are high enough on the waiting list, the municipality will contact you about an available home.
In Britain there are currently over a million people waiting for social housing.
