A DIY couple has wowed TikTok users after sharing their stunning patio garden makeover.
The duo, from the Isle of Wight, left people speechless with a clip showing how they took their property “from 0 to 100”, all thanks to a stroke of paint.
The decoration fans, known only as @vidaatcapri on TikTok, they dedicated their colorful platform to the house, where they moved just over two years ago.
Since then, the couple – who also stole some interior pieces from charity shops – have been renovating the house, which they claim is “the worst” on the street.
But it’s not just the old building that has gone under the knife, now boasting a pretty baby pink exterior – the courtyard garden looks nothing like it did either.
Before the jaw-dropping transformation, the outdoor space looked run-down, with the pair brutally rating it a solid “0.”
Although there was some vegetation, the garden lacked color, featuring old white walls covered in green algae, as well as flagstones that had become home to stubborn moss.
However, with a little effort, the couple – who are often told to “stop spending money on decor” – were able to completely revamp the drab space.
In addition to painting the old bricks hot pink, the DIY lovers added more gorgeous plants, turned the dusty door turquoise, and placed stunning furniture outside.
In one corner, they proudly showed off the videoit now also had a fabulous woven rug, as well as comfortable cushions for relaxing on warmer days – a lovely touch that people thought was reminiscent of a ”Moroccan paradise”.
To add more personality to the Barbie-approved makeover, the duo also attached cute round plates of varying sizes to one of the pink walls — all with different color patterns, too.
Another part of the once run-down courtyard garden has also become the perfect place to relax and enjoy your morning coffee – or a few drinks with friends.
“You’re welcome to Prada,” the emotional duo laughed in the caption, as viewers gathered to praise their work.
The change of look was truly a delight, as several people asked if they could enjoy a cocktail in their “amazing” riad.
“If I was invited to visit, I would never leave,” one person joked.
Another was equally surprised by the stark difference, writing: “You transformed it from a sad garden to a Moroccan paradise so beautiful.”
“I’m so obsessed with every aspect of your home, everything is so unique and vibrant,” a third added.
How to paint brick
Renovating your home can be as easy as painting your existing old brick – here are all the preparations to make in advance.
Before painting
New masonry with cement mortar must harden for at least 28 days before painting, explained experts from Dulux.
Defect check
Check your masonry for defects. The buildup of white crystalline salts on the surface is called efflorescence and needs to be removed before painting.
Checking for Water Damage
Any leaks, rising damp or excess moisture will need to be addressed before painting.
Surface guarantee
Make sure the surface is free of loose sand or cement. Fill the holes with grout cement.
Removing
Wash with water using a stiff brush to remove all loose material.
Use duct tape
Use a good quality painter’s tape along edges you don’t want painted, including trim or windows.
”This is my dream garden! I need to remember all these colors,” someone felt inspired after watching the clip.
The couple, who also have a poodle, have done a lot of renovations since moving into their new home, including fixing the “rotten” ceiling.
In addition to painting the hallway ocean blue, they brightened up the main entry doors with some lilac paint — and now consider the house to be “the best” on the street.
