As promised, I'm back to share the other part of our patio makeover! I shared all the background about taking a 10x10 concrete slab and turning it into a pretty patio, here, so make sure to check that out if you're interested! One thing I didn't cover in that post was the reason we decided to have cement poured. Our first choice would have been tile or a floating deck and while either would be amazing, I knew it wasn't in the budget. We also debated a screened porch but I already feel like our home looks like a little box. I really didn't want to add another "little box" onto the back of it. Plus that really affects how much light we get inside. I NEED natural light and didn't want to give it up!
