Patio Transformation

 Some of the problems we had with the old patio were:
-loose concrete
-dirty concrete
-bushes growing through the fence
-patio door
-no privacy from the street

What we loved about our new patio:
-paving stones to create herringbone pattern on the bricks
-how easy it was to pressure wash the patio and stain with Behr stain
-our cheap patio set from Home Depot!
-our privacy fence built by my husband!
-new door and painted window



My husband and our friend rented a jack hammer from Home Depot to break up the loose concrete.  Putting the pavers in was relatively simple and much cheaper than paying someone to pour new concrete!

 Sewing project:

 Cushions and pillows for the bench my husband built in to the privacy fence.
