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…
