$100k in value.

Jonny Carmack, 31, bought the three-bedroom home in October 2020 for $256k and knew it would be a "fixer-upper".

Jonny started by painting all his rooms and on the day he moved in got to work
renovating the property and painted his bathroom pink.

Jonny has spent $20k on the place transforming it into "a dreamhouse" - by buying second-hand items at estate sales and vintage dealers.

The 1800s farmhouse, which he lives in with partner Mitchell Pozo, 29, has fluffy pink walls, grass doors and is filled with 1980s furniture.
