I have been dreaming about patio ideas for my backyard. Last year we put in a flagstone patio and we tried to seal and cement the grout..but it didn’t work so well. The rain and snow deteriorated the grout and the rocks have shifted. So we are going to have to have some repair work done on it as well as enlarge the patio a bit. Plus the backyard faces south west and gets so hot during the summer you can’t even touch the door handle without it burning your hand so we need some shade and I am looking at ideas.
Love the little pergola and rock edge.
Nice setup for BBQ!
This is a small ….space nicely done!
I would so love a fireplace too!
All photos were found off google search for small patios.

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
