New Patio

Okay! I now have pictures of our new patio! Personally- I LOVE it! The brick that we had was used and when we put them with the big pavers- they look like they are a hundred years old! I am such a fan! Again- thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Kidd for all of their help- we couldn't have done it without you!

Here is the before- well kind of. Obviously there hasn't ALWAYS been a big pile of sand sitting there- but you get the idea of the place we were working on. The window you can see is the kitchen window and Shaun and I have toyed with the idea of putting in a deck/patio there since we moved in. We were able to get a bunch of bricks for free, and got a screaming deal on the pavers... so the idea of a patio won!

And here's a "during" picture. I think the planning and placing of the pavers/bricks took the longest. Once we figured out what kind of pattern we were going to use- it went pretty quick.

And here's the finished product!! I think it looks soo good!

And a close up of the design we did.
