Welcome to our new patio…..

We have had an adventure… looking for new patio pavers and wall tiles, I could not believe how many there were to chose from… and the price difference from place to place…sometimes for the same pavers…

8x8 paver

These are the pavers we found… I was in love…

6 in high wall brick .

These are the tiles for our new wall

Plan of Patio w 8x8 tiles

I had fun working out the plan, at this point I was keeping my fingers crossed the 8x8 tiles would not be to busy…

Very pleased at how it turned out…Now it’s done it’s time for the furniture, a table for 4 / our old chairs and table  / new bbq my hubby got for fathers day…001

I took these pictures in the evening after it rained, the new grass is doing really well, it’s the end of the season so we will add more new grass in the spring…
