Don't Make This Mistake with Your Stone House Glass Extension

Don’t Make This Mistake with Your Stone House Glass Extension

The biggest mistake I see with a stone house glass extension? Forgetting the outdoor patio. This one gets it right—floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open onto irregular flagstones lined with potted ferns, while inside a rustic wooden table and exposed rafters keep it grounded. Don’t let your extension feel disconnected—use real materials and plants to tie it all together. Save this for your renovation inspo! 🌿

Makes you want to grab a coffee and wander through, right? 🌿 Save this if you’re planning a garden path makeover! #gardenpath #stonewalkway #beforeandafter #hydrang

Curved Fire Pit Patio Design: The One Mistake I See All the Time

Curved Fire Pit Patio Design: The One Mistake I See All the Time

If you’re planning a curved fire pit patio like this one with Adirondack chairs and stone retaining walls, don’t forget to account for the seating distance. Too close and you’ll roast, too far and you lose the cozy vibe. We left about 4 feet between the chairs and the fire ring, feels perfect. Also make sure your stone paver pattern flows with the curve – we used a mix of flagstone and natural edge cuts to keep it organic. A black patio heater is a nice backup for cooler nigh
