Influencer Abbie Herbert received a special surprise from her husband after hinting that she needed her own space.
In a TikTok with over 400K likes, Herbert shared how her husband, Josh, managed to create a DIY home office for her while she was away.
“I asked my husband if I should go to work at a coffee shop to have my own space and instead of saying yes he did this instead,” Abbie wrote in the text of her video before cutting to a shot of the room pre-makeover.
Before it received a refresh from her husband, the room was cluttered and full of boxes. It then transforms in front of viewers’ eyes as Herbert’s husband creates a comfortable space for his wife, piece by piece.
From putting together shelving and a desk to adding finishing design touches including a vase of flowers, Herbert’s room goes from a storage space to a fully-functioning home office in the span of the minute-long video.
“He did all of this while I was out of town, he surprised me with everything… how did I get so lucky” Herbert captioned her post.
“I went out of town for work and came home to a completely new office,” Herbert tells PEOPLE. “He picked and designed everything himself.”
As of Friday, Feb. 7, the video had over 450,000 likes and almost 1,300 comments, with many commenters expressing their admiration for her husband’s gesture.
The most-liked comments, however, revealed there was some initial confusion about what viewers thought was going to be featured in the video.
