Before and After Wednesday

Hello World!  How is everyone doing today?  Be ready to be amazed.  Today's Before and After comes from Debbie from Debbie-Dabble.  I remember when I first saw this transformation how I couldn't stop looking at it.  I know, you are curious.  So, here's a peek of what I'm talking about.  

Debbie painted her back patio to make it look like brick!  Now, that is one labor intensive job.  

Here is the before.

Here is almost the same shot with her new "brick" patio.  

Here is what she used.  Two sponges and paint. 


Debbie really did an outstanding job on her brick patio.  I'm amazed at her patience to paint her very own "brick" patio turning her cottage patio into a dreamy spot to sit and have some iced tea.  

Scoot on over and pay a visit to Debbie-Dabble to see more fantastic pictures of her brick patio and to say hello.  Thank you Debbie for sharing your beautiful patio with us. 

If you have any before and after projects that you would love to get featured, email them to thededicatedhouse@gmail.com and in the subject line, please put Before and After Wednesday.  It can be any before and after: gardening, furniture redo, room makeover, complete renovation, sewing repurpose.  Anything with a before and after.

Make it Pretty Monday has been prettified with all of the inspiration that you lovelies have linked up.  Click here to go straight to the party and be ready to bookmark some great sites.


Thanks for the visit!  You loves have a beautiful day and remember to be kind to one another!  Fear Not!

Toodles,
Kathryn
