I upgraded my fixer-upper with a front porch makeover – my DIY floor design cost less than $50, I love the new aesthetic

A DIY fan has pushed the boat out with her front porch makeover.

She upgraded her fixer-upper with a fantastic mosaic-type effect.

But you don't need deep pockets for her floor design.

This clever idea transformed the porch area for less than $50.

She was delighted with the finished look and loved the new aesthetic.

There was much interest in That Mom's (@thatonediymom) post.

So far, over 15,000 viewers have tuned in to see this glow-up.

Our DIY queen is no stranger to DIY projects and shares her room transformations on TikTok.

For this project, she started with a blank canvas, a tired-looking porch, which was ripe for an upgrade.

STEP 1:

First, everything was stripped back, literally.

The floor paint was diligently scraped back, a painstaking task.

Getting this part of the project right was important to prepare the groundwork for step 2.

After sweeping up the dirt, she applied patio paint with a roller.

Allow enough time to let the paint dry out completely before starting the next step, the star of the show.

I transformed my grubby garden patio for less than £50 - it was so easy to do, all you need is some paint & a stencil

A stencil was used for the next part of the transformation.

It created a pattern block across the painted patio floor.

The stencil could be washed and reused.

The posts were refurbished and secured into the concrete.

Interior designer Judy Hoang shared her furniture tips with The U.S. Sun.

Once the essentials were completed, it was time for the fun part - styling the porch.

There was a lot of love for this porch upgrade, but some commenters queried the cost.

“Under $50. That wood wasn’t under $50 ain't no way,” said one person.

But she clarified her budget.

"I was referring to the patio, paint, and supplies only. I would estimate an extra $50 for the wood for the posts," she said.

Other viewers experienced porch envy.

"I want to stencil something so bad. Your whole redo is fabulous," said one fan.
