Rosies, who posts under @rosielaurenhome, showed how she did the DIY job herself and didn't need to hire a professional to help.
She shared in a video which has over 3,000 likes: 'I'm going to show you how easy it is to turn this ugly concrete step into this.
'So, I'm using mosaic tiles and this Turbo Set tile adhesive. Let's go.'
She showed how she had picked up some black and white checked tiles for the job - and you can find a bargain replica on Temu for just £12 for 10 sheets.
Rosie first laid out the tiles to work out exactly how many she would need, and loved how easy they were to cut.
She then mixed up her adhesive and advised you to work quickly as it 'sets in around 15 minutes.'
She added: 'I'm putting it directly onto the concrete, and then I'm leveling it out at the end.
'Once nice and level, I'm adding one mosaic tile at a time and gently tapping them evenly into the adhesive.'
She then repeated the process until her entire step was covered with the stylish tiles.
Although it didn't take long for everything to set, she said she waited until the next day to grout it.
I spruced up my bland decking & gave it va-va-voom for summer with a HUGE Temu buy you can nab for just £8 down from £50

Rosie then showed how she covered the tiles with the grout paste, and said you have to 'trust the process' covering the beautiful tiles in black.
She then simply wiped away the excess grout with a sponge and some warm water to reveal the finished stylish look.
According to Bankrate.com, an attractive front of your house - known as 'curb appeal' - can boost your home's value by between five and 10 per cent.
It seems many people were impressed with Rosie's hard work, with one saying: 'Such a great idea! currently renovating our house so saving this.'
Another added: 'That's actually a brilliant idea, definitely gonna do this.'And a third wrote: 'love this am gonna copy.'

Revealed: Why Muslim UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov 'refused' to take picture with woman - just weeks after he declined to shake TV host Kate Scott's hand despite greeting all of her male colleagues

The reason that UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov originally turned down a photo with a woman last week has become clear. Khabib, 36, is one of the most impressive fighters in UFC history after winning all 27 of his career bouts. Since retiring, he has focused on coaching and mentoring fighters and is also regularly seen attending high-profile sporting events. However, a clip of Nurmagomedov, 36, circulated on TikTok last week where he appeared to urge a woman to turn around when she approached him for a photo at an event. The same individual returned moments later and did take a picture with the 36-year-old and fans have noticed one major difference. In the original approach, the woman had a drink in her hand, which appeared to be alcoholic. It seems that Khabib instructed her to put down the drink before returning for a photo without it in her hand. This is because the former fighter is a devout Muslim and in Islam, alcohol is prohibited, with the holy book The Quran forbidding the consumption of it. And several fans were quick to praise the 36-year-old for maintaining his faith despite all of his fame. One said: 'A man with moral values and discipline,' before another added: 'Money hasn't changed this man, stuck to his beliefs and principles.' A further fan added: 'He's a devout Muslim and doesn't like to engage in any type of way that endorses alcohol.' Khabib regularly spoke about and was involved with his religion throughout his fighting career. The Russian would often be seen praying after his UFC bouts and previously opened up on his faith in 2023 when speaking on his YouTube channel. 'A lot of people, they are a little bit shy to show they are Muslim,' he said. 'Some people don't like this, but who cares? My religion taught (sic) this to me: to be a nice person, to be a good man, to be a good family man. 'You know, like, to be a good neighbour, to be a good friend. This is only because of my religion. Because of my faith, you know. 'And everybody has (sic) their own way, but I choose to show this. To show this, to represent this and to be proud of this.' However, Khabib had generated controversy last month when he failed to shake TV host Kate Scott's hand at the Champions League final despite greeting all of her male colleagues. CBS Sports covered the action with their regular punditry trio of Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards and presenter Scott. After Les Parisiens' crushing 5-0 victory, the group were joined at pitch side by popular streamer IShowSpeed and the UFC icon. As Khabib made his way over to the group he embraced each member individually before declining a handshake from Scott as her hand remained awkwardly outstretched. Nurmagomedov then appeared to clarify his refusal to the presenter - previously known as Kate Abdo prior to her marriage to boxing trainer Malik Scott last year - who subsequently apologised on air. This is because in Islam it is forbidden to touch a member of the opposite sex that you are not related to.

Mum is left humbled by her drastic appearance change after having a baby & people don't believe it's the same woman

NO KIDDING Did your face change during pregnancy? Scroll down and let us know A MOTHER has left people's jaws on the floor after revealing how pregnancy changed her appearance. Wariara, a first-time mother who recently gave birth to her daughter, shared a short clip online of how having her child 'humbled' her. 2 The mother welcomed her baby into the world earlier this year, but moments after the little one was born, the content creator was barely recognisable. In a now viral clip, the savvy mum showed how she looked before and after falling pregnant with her second child, leaving many gobsmacked. Not only have people been left stunned at Wariara's change in appearance, but many claimed they 'could not believe' their eyes. At the start of the short video, Wariara confidently posed for the camera as she wore a blue crop top and black mini skirt. Showing herself 'before having a baby', she wore her curly hair tied back and donned a full face of make-up, which included a neat eyeliner flick and lipstick. But seconds later, Wariara gave her followers a close-up look at her after giving birth, as she admitted she is 'beyond humbled' by how her appearance has changed. The girl mum wore a nursing bra and some baggy shorts as she cradled her newborn. Wariara's skin was make-up free and her once slicked down curly hair was now not styled or brushed. Her locks danced in numerous directions and Wariara blankly stared at the camera, showing off her natural skin. The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ wariara38, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 7.3 million views in just four days. 'This is why I refuse to carry a baby without a house & a ring' people scream as woman shows how pregnancy 'humbled' her Not only this, but it's also amassed 740,700 likes, 8,268 comments and 345,500 shares. Social media users were gobsmacked by Wariara's change in appearance and many couldn't believe it was the same woman. As well as this, others suggest she call the police and 'sue everyone involved.' One person said: 'I cannot believe my eyes.' Another begged: 'With kindness, please put a jump scare warning in next time.' Whilst someone else joked: 'You may be eligible for compensation.' Another user asked: 'Did you report this incident at the nearest police station?' At the same time, another user gasped: 'Ain't no way that is you.'

'I'm riding 1,000 miles to get to Glastonbury - people think I'm crazy'

One festivalgoer has taken his journey to Glastonbury to all new lengths as he's been cycling 100km a day for almost a month in a bid to get to Worthy Farm from Madrid, Spain The countdown to Glastonbury is fast approaching, with mere days to go before hundreds of thousands of festivalgoers pitch up their tents for five days of spectacular performances. While many will be travelling by car, train or coach, one man is so dedicated to the UK's biggest festival that he's riding a whopping 100km a day on his bike to get there! Ollie White, 25, started his lengthy journey at the end of May from Madrid, Spain, where he lives and works as a content creator for La Liga, the Spanish football league. Over the course of almost a month, he has ventured across majestic mountains, the biggest sand dune in Europe, serene coastlines and desert-like landscapes with just a backpack, a tent and his bicycle. ‌ In total, Ollie will travel over 1,600km, or 994 miles, to Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, racking up 62 miles a day. ‌ With just a few days to go until the gates open at Glastonbury on Wednesday, 25 June, at 8 am, Ollie has almost completed his trek and has been documenting his journey on TikTok and Instagram every day. In his most recent update on Sunday, 22 June, Ollie confirmed that he reached Plymouth before heading to Totnes, Devon, where he'd stay the night. He is hoping to reach Glastonbury by Tuesday, 24 June. When asked by the BBC why he opted to ride from Madrid to Worthy Farm, he simply said: "I have a ticket for Glastonbury, so why not cycle?" Speaking further about his experience, he also shared with the news outlet: "A lot of people think I'm crazy for doing this, but for me it doesn't seem too crazy. "It's just a challenge I've set myself and, at the end of the day, once you've done all the preparation, you just have to get on the bike each day and do the kilometres." ‌ He described his adventure as "absolutely incredible" and that "everything has been really positive". He's spent time camping alone in secluded, yet beautiful spots across Europe and the UK, while taking in nature and the incredible scenery during each leg of his journey. When he finally reaches his end location, Ollie has a list of performances lined up to watch during the weekend at Glastonbury, including Neil Young, Loyle Carner, Kneecap, Caribou, Scissor Sisters and Kaiser Chiefs. He adds that Neil Young has been a particularly good soundtrack while riding through endless countries.
