{Our Patio Tiles in the Front}

When I did post about our Bay Window area's Patio Tiles, I did not show you the Front of our Home. So today I show you that part as well.
Our Pot Plants on the Patio are small in number; but growing!
Again the Benjamin Moore paint in Golden Mist against the Sunset tiles that we used for the Patio.
You also get to see part of the Vintage Woodworks spindles, gingerbread and Fleur de Lys trim on the gable of the house.
Photos are from April 10, still no leaves on our Hibiscus syriacus Jeanne D'Arc. You find link below post...
The tile men also put CERDOMUS ceramiche Italian tiles that were left over from our balcony, on the stairs since some of the bricks got chipped.
Our Black Gum Nyssa Sylvatica  - a Wildlife Friendly Shade Tree with flowers and berries is still bare as the leaves come very late.
You can see the Golden Live Oak 'Quercus Virginiana Grand View Gold' tot the right changing into its BEST color for the entire year.
Also the Red Japanese Maple (Acer Rubrum) next to it.
This photo also shows off the Interlock Metal Roofing in Aluminum Slate in Aged Copper color!
Guess by now we've completed our home!

  4. Hi Mariette, you have such a beautiful house with a lovely patio. I also like the gingerbread details on the front porch.

    I greatly appreciate the advice you gave me on my last posts. Thank you. And how sweet of you to remember Nikolai's birthday. Thank you so much. I can't believe my baby turned three already!

  8. Hello Mariette, In these photos we can see the tiles much more clearly. They are wider than I thought at first--almost like a mini-patio. I hope you get many years of pleasure and utility out of this project.

  11. Hej Mariette, er hebben het afgelopen jaar heel wat veranderingen plaatsgevonden aan jullie huis. Het ziet er allemaal zo anders uit en moet toch als een heel ander huis voelen, tenminste aan de buitenkant. Het is een mooi zonnig geheel. Lieve groet,

  21. Dear Mariette,
    Your home is so lovely with the beautiful colors and gingerbread trim. The tiling is very pretty - so neat and tidy. A big job you have done with the new roof, painting, guest quarters, and all the flood prevention! You must be sighing with relief that it is all done! A beautiful ending to much hard work. I do hope you can now relax and enjoy all your efforts. Hugs xo Karen Wishing you a lovely Easter. (I love your pretty blog header, too)
