Comments (19)The cutout for the bed leaves the placement of bedside tables in an awkward position. They ended up too far away from the head of the bed so you can't really reach items there very easily, and they just don't look right. It must be rather difficult too to reach back to put the fitted sheets on at the head of the bed. As an alternative, why don't you construct a knee wall along the length of that wall? You would still retain the extra floor space by having the bed pushed back and the entire look and function would be improved....See MoreLos Angeles Backyard Makeover - WWYD?
Comments (23)Alfred, I have not read through all of your thread, but from my perspective, it seems like the tile is ok. Have you looked into having it professionally cleaned? A “green” type of cleaning maybe, if possible - I’m sure something like this should be available in CA. Then just do the pavers and maybe some edge plantings in unpaved area, and put up a gazebo. You could start with, or just permanently use, a portable gazebo - as I show in pic in my first comment. I would really not get jackhammers, etc. and try to do this yourself. If you want to make a major change in the future, I would recommend just saving up and hiring professionals. You will save yourself the wear and tear and probably get better results that way. I really think you can work with your tile as it is. If you want to change/vary the look, in some areas you could place some outdoor rugs....See MoreMartha Edwards
