Renovation project - Decorative footpaths in France

Renovation project - Decorative footpaths in France

At the front of our property is a footpath next to the road, this was one of the first things we noticed about the house when we came to view. The footpath is made of old tiles, not all are in good condition and the years of dirt are hiding some of the patterns, but today, I am going to try to revive them.

When we had the water connected we were asked if we wanted the meter outside, but this would've meant breaking more of the tiles, so we said no, I am hoping they will look great when cleaned up.

I am knelt with my scrubbing brush, bleach and buckets of water, the weather is not the best for doing this job, it is cold and trying to rain!


I keep going until the rain starts properly, most are cleaned up and it does look fantastic, it is a little thing, but it does make our house stand out a bit more and once we are finished, I just know it will be the prettiest house on the road.

We have no idea how long the tiles have been there or who laid them, but all I can say is thank you!
