We fixed up the pati!

Photo time:

Here's before....

Kinda mucky and messy and concrete grey:


This is the top of the back wall....


And the bit over the dining room:


Here it is again, but after...










You can't see it, but we also managed to paint the two story back of the house.....some fun, but I think it turned out pretty well, all told.  The blank greyish unpainted square is where we're going to hang a tiled picture and I am going to buy a couple more plants for around the bottom of the safareig at the market.  A weekend well spent, I think.  We had lunch out here today, and it felt like those movies......

Lovely! Do you want an aloe - we have trillions! I won't offer the aspidistras as I can't imagine anyone wanting one. Also trillions. Is that sunshine I see? K x

It does look like something out of a movie...
Well done – you’ve created an oasis of calm (???) and beauty.

Wow - great "before" and "afters". Can I come and stay a while?!

Helen said...

Looks great - well done

Travis Erwin said...

Very nice. I am about to embark on some home improvements as well.

Kate, yes please to both, especially if they can live outside......

Beth, it is mostly calm, nice when the fish go in, we're currently testing the plug to make sure they won't find themselves high and dry one night, which would be a shame.

Bodhi....bien sur.

Helen, thanks!

Travis...good luck.....
