A Concrete Answer? Renewing your Patio

Making Stone or Concrete Patio Cozy-1

Most of us when we see a cracked concrete patio, think that will have to one of the first things to go. When I moved into a townhouse, it had awful concrete patio stones.  When I moved into an old house in Toronto it had a cracked concrete path and patio. There was a fair bit of expense associated with removing it and building something new.  These pictures make me rethink that. It is all about the colours and the comfy furnishings that you put with it, and all of a sudden that cold, dirty space is transformed into someting warm and comfy.  If there is just a concrete patio you could bring in some large rocks to accent around the sides instead of the wall in the picture above. There are now indoor outdoor rugs to help pull the space together. The beiges and burgandys in the pictures are beautiful complements to the cement.  Now I am wishing I had a dirty old cracked concrete patio......
