I can't say that I put a ton of "design" thought into this portion of the renovation. There wasn't just this huge itch to have the perfect patio... a patio in general works for me.
So enough chatting lets take a look at the back yard on closing day
Then the tractor came and so did a lot of dirt. Next thing I knew there was a large slab of concrete in my backyard. It hasnt completely cured yet, so you'll see the variation in the colors. Maybe some day down the road I will get around to staining it - but I dont mind the "original" color... thoughts?
Now for a "lets get real" picture. My yard is full of TRASH! I need a serious date with the dump in the near future.
and again for the before and somewhat after
I'm not totally sure what stained concrete looks like, as I only have vague recollections from home improvement shows, but whatever you do DONT paint it! If you straight up paint that think forest green or something I'll gag.
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing housing listings where people have straight up painted concrete and it's AWFUL. Yuck!
