03: Patio Project: "faux" tile painting solution
DIY GAL NOTE: This post (4 of a series of 5) features a solution to a problem I have been addressing regarding two concrete patio slabs. Please refer to the earlier posts on this topic for a more thorough explanation of the problem, etc. Thanks for reading!
So the purpose of this project is to:
A) repair some concrete surface that was pitted and crumbling a bit
and
B) make it attractive... all while adhering to a budget.
Inspiration for this project came from a segment on 3TV (KTVK, Phoenix, AZ) with Suzanne Bissett and Home Depot. [Please note: There was a typo on the contact info on their web site: Home Depot, Val Vista and Broadway Roads, Interior Designer Teresa Follmer. For more information, call (480)-396-0227.]
Essentially it was a "how-to" for painting concrete to create a "faux" tile look. I watched the online segment several times and decided I would proceed this way. After all, if it does not work out, I can always use the interlocking tiles solution over it, right? This is an economical solution. I will walk you through my steps so you can see if it will work for you too!
