Welcome Guys!
I miss Summer! I love, love, love it! I am not one of those parents who gripe with all that "can't wait for school to start" business. You can keep the homework, lunches, and sports. I can't get enough of the freedom. However, my DIY addiction takes a back seat to the kiddos and the one good part of Fall is I can finally get back to business over here. First "step" (no pun intended) was to finish our front landing. Check out my faux brick makeover!!
I painted it guys!
Okay, the background.
Our home has 6 brick steps to the front door. At the top is a plain old cement landing. Because our house is north facing, (which is great for a sunny backyard) it makes for an extremely dank front yard sometimes. (Think shade and lots of mold). The landing out front turned brown and moldy, and I have struggled with trying to make it less dingy for years. I immediately thought a brick pattern would tie in the steps and be perfect here!
After a good power-washing, I decided that I had to have chevron brick somehow.
