I painted my patio a controversial colour – trolls say I’ve made a huge mistake and it won’t last but I love it
NOW summer is here, we’re all out in the garden giving it a spruce up.
But one savvy woman decided to take it a step further than adding some new flowers to her garden and decided to paint her patio.
Taking to her TikTok account @markay_ourjourney, Kayleigh and her partner, Mark, from the UK, showed off their garden transformation.
Deciding to do it on a budget, Kayleigh decided to paint the patio in her ack garden a slate grey colour by Santex.
In the short clip, she can be seen rolling the paint over the paving slabs – giving it a modern update.
But it seemed Mark wasn’t thrilled by the transformation as he wrote he wanted a weekend relaxing.
He penned: “Babe I’m having the weekend off I’m knackered.
“Oh let’s have a day in the garden I want to paint the slabs.”
While the couple loved their updated patio, it seemed many people didn’t.
The video went viral with over 320k views and people were quick to say the transformation wouldn’t last long and that the couple made a huge error by painting it.
One person wrote: “You will regret that.”
Another commented: “Leave it a year and wait how bad it goes over winter.”
“Massive mistake it will peel/crack, don’t care how good your paint it,” remarked a third.
Mark replied: “I’m sure there’s bigger things in life to worry about.”
While the paint job may not last, Mark revealed he didn’t mind redoing every year.
Others couldn’t wait to see the final results of the couple’s project.
One penned: “Lets see what the finish looks like.”
The couple shared the final results in a separate clip, and it didn’t disappoint.
The grey paving stones matched perfectly with their grey ad cream outside furniture and grey hot tub.
Many took to the comments section to praise the couple.
One person added; “Looks amazing.
Someone else added: “Looks beautiful and so relaxing.”
