A MUM has showcased the amazing makeover her husband gave her patio tiles using nothing but paint.
Taking to the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK she shared the incredible before and after shots of her patio that looks like it's been completely retiled.
Before the makeover, the outdoor space was fitted with sand coloured stone tiles but after using Sandtex Masonry paint, costing £23 she has achieved a grey marble effect.
Her hubby combined shades Black and Gravel in different pots, and layered the paint using a sponge to create the stone illusion.
Captioning her snaps, she wrote: “Jumped on the bandwagon with the patio paint.
“I wanted a stone patio but couldn’t afford it so the husband used a sponge effect with patio paint costing £23… pretty chuffed ?
“He used Sandtex masonry paint in black and gravel and mixed them up in different pots to make different greys and layered it.
“This isn’t a forever solution but layering it makes it easier to cover up if there are any scratches.”
Fellow group members were seriously impressed with post amassing over 5,000 likes, praising her husband’s work in the comments.
“It looks really effective” wrote one, with another commenting, “what a brilliant idea.”
