Stencilled my front path - pictures

[missfliss]

I recently posted pics on here of our made over UPVC front door using paint.

I decided to keep going with improving our front of house and painted and stencilled our old concrete slabs / path.

I used masonry paint and this will be sealed using Polyvine Dead Flat varnish. Overall though I'm chuffed.

So clever! Looks lovely

Love this.

Where did you buy the stensils?

Well I expected to hate it but actually, I think it looks pretty nifty!

Wow that's really good! Also wondering where you got the stencils?

Wow!!!

Well done @missfliss , that looks lovely

Does the paint you used make any promises about how long it should last? Or How well it should cope with being walked over?

It does look nice.

Stencils were from a company called Dizzy Duck.

They have a Facebook page where you can see a lot of people posting their real projects and it's very handy for advice

Love it! (Good cat also). I wonder if this would work on my unappealing sheet concrete patio.

Love this! Looks gorgeous

This is great. I thought it was going to be 2m distance markings for people visiting!

I've never seen that done before. It's very good.
(I do hope it was dry when the cat lay down!)

I've just joined the Frenchic paint forum on Facebook and loads of people are doing it on there.

Looks really good.

Really lovely

Wow that's amazing! I've seen somebody paint their tarmac driveway so inspired me to look into this .... well, get my husband to do it anyway lol 😆

Someone asked about paint. I used masonry paint - there's a lot on the market and I think Dulux Weathershield is well rated. I used Sandtex which is also well regarded as long lasting and durable.

looks lovely and love the cat ornament too

Looks great!

I wish I could be so productive during lockdown!

Cool! Vaguely reminiscent of Victorian encaustic tiled hallways.

I thought I'd hate this but it's great, it looks like old tiled front paths.

Yeah, that's what I meant to say @theemmadilemma! :D

That looks fantastic. It must have taken a fair bit of time and patience.

That looks great, OP! @mylondonhome on Instagram did something similar, painting and stencilling a patio. There’s a guide in her story highlights.

I didn't think I'd like it either - but I do! Well done!
