He cleaned the railings and painted them with “black metal paint” and they looked as good as new. “It took one coat and it didn’t take long at all and it also dried really quickly”, he added.

The TikToker then showed what it looked like with furniture on it, showing off his “little bistro set” and saying: “It’s the perfect spot to admire the view and have a nice drink on a sunny day”.

Imagine that first morning coffee on a sunny day”. Someone else penned: “I was sceptical that you could do much with the space. Then with not too many embellishments, it looks amazing.

Congrats.”.
