Repaint driveway?

I live in an apartment, so I don't get to mess with anything.

Can't wait to have my own home projects though.

 

Post a pic of your driveway.

 

Extending the deck
Fixing up the backyard (we've going to do pavers on part of it because my dogs tear the grass up)
Window boxes on the front upstairs windows, the house is somewhat Mediterranean style. Something like this:
I also want to do the stucco on that part of the house in another, warmer color.
I want to paint or change out the white metal railings for black. The white shows all of its wear and I don't feel like it goes with the style as well as black would.
Crown molding for the rest of downstairs (I have it in the formal living and dining room, my husband, father and brother in law did it)
A new front door and sidelights
New patio doors (I don't love the sliders)
We also want to do some more stuff in the master bath, we hate the builder's tiles and fixtures.

Holy crap, I think there's more. We're going to be busy too!

 

When you're done you can come help me!

I also have to repaint my kitchen, breakfast room, and family room and we want to do some high hats in the kitchen and family room and pendant lights over the kitchen island. The paint I usually do because my husband sucks at it.

 

Looks like quite the list me likey.

 

Never in my life have I seen a painted driveway.

 

I'm moving into my new place this weekend so I have LOTS to get done

 

Nikko, we have the same pavers for our raised garden but a different color.
What is that yellow color, do you know the brand and name? I like it a lot. Also, I remember you doing the patio, it looks almost like large pavers, do you know how they did it? We got paver quotes at 9k and just concrete at 5k. We'd do it ourselves but we need a retaining wall because we have a sharp slope on one side.

 

I like the way it looks a lot.

 

I'll check out Home Depot. I have a color in my kitchen and family room that is similar but it's too "gold" or something. That color looks more like what I was going for.

Now that I know about the grooves, I'll think more about it. Can you put something in there like caulk or anything? I would definitely do the staining, too. We're also considering doing something like Trexx(something similar and hopefully cheaper) over it because it will be easier to make level. As it is now I can't really have a table and chairs out there which sucks. It's like the dogs own the place.

I like that, especially with the smaller matching medallion. I think it's a great touch. My driveway is just plain.



My husband just added a couple more things to the list:
painting or tiling the garage floor
adding shelving in the garage
