This book makes me drool.. every time I pick it up I want to head outside and “decorate” my yard.
I have a plain concrete slab for my patio. It’s huge… and gray. This book has loads of pictures of brick patio and floors.
Making Garden Floors: Stone, Brick, Tile, Concrete, Ornamental Gravel, Recycled Materials and More
I know we are going to be installing more patio area with brick so I want my boring gray patio to blend in.
I could have chosen to add a concrete overlay, but this is a huge time and money commitment. And… my concrete is in good shape already so I just want to use paint.
Brick Floor Stencils to the rescue!
I’ve been on the hunt again for all the newest brick stencils. I know that I can draw them on… I mean, I do teach you how to make your own template in the faux brick painting video…
But… when I am going to be painting on my hands and knees for any length of time… Like More Than 10 minutes… I want to use something that is going to give me fast results. At least for part of the process…
Here is my list of all the brick floor stencils I could find ( click on them to see what they look like):
- My Favorite Herringbone Brick Stencil... I have this one!
- Royal Design Studio - Herringbone Patio Stencil
It was tough to find really nice brick stencils. I like to find good quality brick floor stencils, but I don’t want to pay a huge price. I usually purchase more than one set… so I can whiz through the project.

This actually looks pretty good. I worked for Pacific Pavngstone for few years, and this actually looks like it, and of course saving 20 grand is probably nice too. What kind of paint do you use to avoid it peeling or cracking?
