Once we power washed everything we than filled in the cracks. We bought the cement filler at Lowes, but any home improvement store would carry it.
After the primer dried we painted the patio Valspar Porch and Floor Oil paint. The color is called Chowder. This color was used to make the colors of the lines. On a side note, make sure you use a roller brush that is made specially for cement. The cement roller brush will make your life a lot easier in the long run.
After the paint dried we taped the section into 16" X 16" squares. We left about 8" of the chowder color for the border. We used 1" Frog Tape to tape off our lines.
After the patio was all taped down we painted the entire patio with the second color called, Rusted Earth Valspar Porch and Oil Paint.
Now, for the part you have all been waiting for. We pulled off the tape after 24 hours of drying and had this as our end result.
I think it makes the patio look so much bigger and inviting. Now, I just have to fill it with patio furniture. I am hoping someday that we will be able to build a pergola over the patio. We hardly have any trees and the extra shade would be nice.

ReplyDeleteDecking Tiles.This summer we've been working hard on updating our back yard. It's a major, longterm project, and today I am happy to share one update that added so much personality to our space: painted stone tiles!. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHow did you tape off the tiles so perfect? Did you put any type of protection on your siding in case the paint splattered on it, especially the dark color. Sure did a beautiful job..pat yourselves on the back and thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea, and great job!! Like Pippi21, I'm wondering how you taped the lines off so perfectly!! I can't draw a straight line, muchless tape one that many times!! Any pointers??
