After returning from a lovely vacation in Hawaii, 50-year-old Wendy was dismayed to find her beautiful lawn buried under a huge pile of gravel, dumped there by her inconsiderate neighbor, Tom. When he refused to take responsibility for the mess, Wendy decided to take matters into her own hands with a clever revenge plan that soon became the talk of the neighborhood.
Wendy was excited to come home and enjoy her cherished yard, but her joy quickly turned to shock. Instead of a lush green lawn, there was a mountain of gravel that made her garden look like a construction site.
She stormed over to Tom’s house, where he was lounging on the couch, seemingly unconcerned. When Wendy confronted him, he casually admitted he dumped the gravel there because he needed space for a renovation project, not caring about the damage he caused to her lawn.
Wendy was furious and demanded that Tom fix her lawn. He brushed her off, saying it was just gravel and no big deal. Feeling disrespected, Wendy left his house, determined to get even.
Over the next few days, she worked tirelessly, using a wheelbarrow to haul the gravel back to Tom’s driveway. Tom saw her efforts and tried to stop her, but Wendy explained she was simply returning his mess. Their exchange escalated, but Wendy remained resolute, enjoying the sight of his frustration as her hard work transformed his driveway into a gravel pile.
Wendy knew she needed to escalate her plan, so she turned her attention to Tom’s prized garden gnome collection. Enlisting the help of two friends, they snuck into Tom’s yard at night and “liberated” the gnomes. The next day, they took the gnomes on a hilarious town adventure, taking photos of them at various landmarks.
When Tom discovered his gnomes were missing, he was frantic. Wendy feigned innocence and teased him about their vacation. She handed him photos of the gnomes having fun, insisting they wouldn’t return until he compensated her for the lawn damage.
Despite the laughter around the neighborhood, Tom refused to budge. He had a big dinner party planned and loved showing off his garden, which gave Wendy another idea. That night, she returned the gnomes, but with a twist: she dressed them up in funny poses and scenarios, creating a scene that would shock his guests.
When Tom woke up to find his gnomes in embarrassing positions, he was mortified. The neighborhood buzzed with gossip, and he was left scrambling to restore order. Eventually, Tom came to Wendy, defeated and ready to make amends. He finally offered to pay her for the lawn repairs. Wendy agreed, reminding him of the lesson he needed to learn about being a good neighbor.
To celebrate the return of her lawn, Wendy threw a barbecue party and made Tom the reluctant host. She decorated the area with photos of the gnome adventure, ensuring everyone enjoyed a good laugh. Wendy wondered if she had gone too far, but deep down, she felt that Tom had it coming. After all, sometimes a little playful revenge can teach valuable lessons about respect and community.
My husband and I bought a neglected 34 m² one-bedroom and made a great renovation: before and after photos
Moving to another city was the reason for a couple to buy their own place. Due to the limited budget, they chose a modest one-room flat with an area of 34 square metres. The new owners did not like the old interior, so they turned to designers to create a unique and comfortable space.
Entrance hall
The walls in the hallway were levelled and painted with light moisture-resistant paint. The floor was laid with porcelain stoneware under marble. At the entrance there are decorative wooden panels with hooks for clothes. Next to it, a wall-mounted console with a mirror and a turquoise pouffe were installed. A spacious storage cabinet with turquoise doors was placed between the kitchen and the room.
Kitchen
In the kitchen, the floor is also laid with porcelain tiles. A refrigerator is installed at the entrance, and behind it there is a dining area with a round table and a cosy sofa. Behind the sofa is an accent wall with a mural and voluminous panels.
Opposite is a corner kitchen set in green and wooden colours, and the apron is tiled in blue-green.
Room
The living room, located at the entrance to the room, has blue coloured walls and laminate flooring. A storage system with a TV is located to the left of the entrance. Opposite is a large grey sofa and a slatted partition dividing the space into zones.
Behind the partition is a sleeping area with a double bed, a bedside table, a TV and a compact dressing table. On the wall behind the bed, a mural with three-dimensional panels reappeared. A bar counter was installed on the balcony.
Bathroom and WC
For the design of the bathroom and the toilet they chose classic white, black rectangular tiles and tiles with a geometric pattern.
The washing machine is conveniently located opposite the sink.
