“I overcame my fear of climbing a ladder and just kept climbing. Finally I’m up here with a small, cozy room [a] beautiful view.
While the space was empty, there was plenty of room upstairs to create a unique area for guests.
The TikTok user admitted she was a bit hesitant about going down the ladder, adding, “I was so scared of the descent part.”

There have been other instances of homes going viral on TikTok due to their unique vibes.

The house is mainly filled with different shades of brown, orange, yellow and green as well as warm tones and bold floral prints.
She told you before news week: “I’ve always felt a connection to the warm tones of the 1970s and the fact that the interior of the period didn’t take itself too seriously. It’s cozy and layered and feels lived in.”
