She took to TikTok to share their house journey and said:

"We wanted to get this whole house renovation done in under a year, and in doing so, we started off with the easy options."

She said they started with the bedrooms to give them a modern refresh.

They opted for green panelling and a tasteful neutral carpet and Anya explained,

"Bedrooms are the cheapest and easiest things to decorate, so we did those first and then moved on to the harder things."

Despite keeping to a strict budget, the pair managed to keep costs low by doing most of the handy work themselves.

However, they have now asked strangers on TikTok for a little extra cash as they still have the downstairs toilet, garden, and outside of the house to renovate.

They also need some extra money to revamp many parts of their new house.

She revealed that thinks it's possible, all thanks to "TikTok's new creativity program."

"I've worked out I'm going to need 60 million views to get KSh 4.9 million, so if you guys could help me by following me or even liking this video then I promise you I am going to deliver and show you the renovation," Anya said.

"Or you could just get a loan," another said.

"No, the garden is perfect—save the money and leave it as it is."
