Hi Everyone
Happy Saturday
♥
Do you like vintage brick like I do
brick adds such a classic old world charm
When we designed our backyard patio we incorporated
used brick as well as stone and cement all these elements
give the appearance the patio has been
added onto from generation to generation
added onto from generation to generation
Don't be afraid to mix elements
you are not limited
{Love}
When we decided to add a backyard patio
it was fun
to explore the possibilities
to explore the possibilities
the built in BBQ is stone with brick
and even has a cement counter top
It has a wonderful patina and is so simple to clean
you can just spray it down with a hose
The brick patio off of our living room is where we enjoy dining alfresco
Adding the brick patio was really like adding another room to our home
we enjoy being outside all year round
The great part about being able to create your own design
is adding your own ideas
that make you happy
Being able to enhance the way you live
and making every space beautiful

Very pretty, Pam! As pretty as your home inside! I really love the white columns. We haveshort brick walls surrounding our patio and small expanses of lawn at the lake. I think it adds a little elegance. I'm dying to plant a little ivy but hubby went on a rant about the brick eventually crumbling. Hmmm...our house is doing fine! :)

Inspiring beauty Pam,
ReplyDeleteI was redingote à post in 2011 where you painted your bedroom floors white on you cement concrete floors. I have pulled up the carpet in a room and found the glue to still be tacky scraped, sanded cleaned, and would love to paint my room like you did. I can see the glue markings and the over spray of the paint from when the home was built and they sprayed the walls white.
I patched the tack strip holes and sanded them down, there is some pits where the patch was not filling in as well, but this does not bother me. When I prime the floors and then paint will the paint coverage hide the faded lines where the carpets were glued down.
How do you like your floors, are they holding up, and do they feel comfortable to walk on, I am sure it feels better then ceramic tile for ceramitic are colder then the natural mineral of cement.
Would love to here back on your floors, I am going to go to your older postings to see what more I can see with your beautiful room.
I plan to use Bher paints at Home Depot with here concrete sealer first.
The color I like is like old hand tossed pottery like the plates I have listed on my post.
The paint color is called white cloud... Not quite white, but not quite off white.
I think it will add to the white room with warmth. All things rustic French :)
Thank you Pam for sharing your beauty.
Xoxo

Hi Dore
DeleteWe love our bedroom floor but we definitely have embraced the imperfections
we did acid wash the floor and then painted kilz on several areas that stood out
then painted with white cement paint
It is wearing well there are a few areas where the paint has flaked but underneath is gray
and it looks vintage fabulous
and photographs very well
It has been comfy on our feet but we live in sunny California
not sure I would recommend it for colder climates
we also have a large area rug under our bed
Good Luck on your project
can't wait to see how it turns out!!!
