I couldn’t afford a new patio so gave my tired slabs a mega makeover on the cheap – it barely cost anything
A WOMAN has revealed that she couldn’t afford a new patio, but was tired of looking at her yellow slabs, so decided to give them a mega makeover herself, on the cheap.
The DIY whizz explained that simply used some paint to give her patio the ultimate glow up – leaving many very impressed.
She claimed that she used some leftover paint to give her new build patio slabs a stunning transformation, whilst on a budget.
Posting on TikTok under the username @our_home_style_, the savvy woman explained: “I’ve just transformed my patio slabs by painting them with some leftover masonry paint!”
She then said: “The problem with new builds is they all seem to come with these yellow patio slabs.
“I can’t afford new ones, so I decided it was time to paint them.”
At the start of the clip, we saw the woman using a brush to gather the dust and tired from her patio slabs.
She then gave the outside area a clean before getting to work.
Following this, once they were tidied up, she continued: “So I cleaned them first, then painted with masonry paint.”
We then saw the woman share her clever cardboard hack, to avoid paint going on the edge of the patio.
As she held up a piece of cardboard, to cover the sides of the patio, she continued: “This cardboard pack is great for the edges and then the rest of the roller.”
She then showed off the finished result – a bright white patio that was world’s away from the once yellow look.
