If I could wave a magic wand and make any change to my house, one thing near the top of the list would be to have a nice, new rear deck that ran the length of the building. But since I’m not going to drop thousands into a deck that I’ll only use for a few years until I sell the place, I decided I could just make some cosmetic changes that might improve the look and utility of the surrounding area.
This was the old landing at the steps to the deck. I thought it would look a little nicer if I just assembled a new landing area that blended in with the existing brick barrier, so I went to Old House Salvage last year and bought a couple hundred used bricks.
