I got myself a brand new awesome patio (well.. makeover)!!

Creating stuff is like making a foot print that forms a new path which can inspire other people to follow.

Creating stuff is also releasing your energy into something positive and productive, instead of sitting in front of the computer trying to make friends on social media or waste your time away with looking at strange cat videos.

Plus, you get to have awesome things that you made yourself!! Bonus!

My beautiful heritage building will be torn down soon to make space for a high-rise (yeah don’t get me started!!) but I felt I needed to modify my surroundings to create beauty around me.

And man is that ever a good workout :))

Pre renovation:

Patio cleaned and ready for renovation!

Just wanted to mention that this patio probably has never been this clean and empty since 1949… Since the house is built in 1912 that may not even be exaggerated! :)

Home Depot is like candyland :)

For a creative person, a trip to Home Depot is like a trip into a candy store!! :)
