A Nairobi woman has inspired Kenyans after renovating her mother's village house and buying new furniture for her.

Grace Adek said her utmost desire has been to upgrade her mother's village house and give it a facelift. She could not hide her joy after she finally achieved her goal.

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Adek said renovating her mother's house was her 2023 goal, and she started by building an extra bedroom in her mother's home to make it a three-bedroom house.

"Growing up, we were very underprivileged. We lost our dad while I was in Form Two. So we had a mud-walled house, and later on, my auntie managed to build my mum a simple two-bedroomed house which was good enough.

I always wanted to give my mother a better house, and I didn't know where to start. This is because I am in Nairobi and have bills to pay. But I always said I would do it," she said.

In the newly-constructed bedroom, Adek said she furnished it with new furniture, and her mother moved into it.

"I also had a new bathroom built inside the house and a shower for her. I also had the roof and ceiling and door revamped, then now bought new furniture for the house," she said.

How much did renovation cost?

The project has been costly for the mother of one, but she confided it has also been fulfilling for her in equal measure.

"I honestly stopped counting at KSh 1 million. Initially, I wanted to do the bedroom, but then I added the bathroom and toilet; also, putting the water tower and making sure there was water in the house cost me around KSh 800,000, including the furnishings. From the roof and everything...I stopped calculating how much I spent and just went ahead to do it whenever I got any money," she said.

Adek said her mother is elated following the renovation as she is more comfortable.

"She was very excited. She prays for me and for her being a widow, she understands the sacrifice and the burden I carry for the family," she said.

Adek turned her mother's bedroom into a master ensuite and fitted it with a new bed, lovely curtains and a carpet. The theme colours are yellow and grey.

For the living room, she bought lovely new modern couches to replace the plastic chairs that her mum had.

The Nairobi lady also bought a new television and fitted the house with lovely lighting.

Bungoma sons renovate mother's house

Similarly, some Bungoma brothers also left their mother in absolute joy after renovating her house, which was built in the 1980s, into a modern and exquisite bungalow.

Pictures of the now-modern house were shared online, and they warmed hearts as the before and after photos were inspiring.

In the before photos, the woman's house looked old, with parts of its exterior worn out, and it seemed like the revamping of the house came at the best time.

The after photos of the house warmed hearts as it looked like a brand new house since its features had been upgraded.
