I so love this woman. She gives me such inspiration and then I go and make a coffee. Whilst I sip my coffee and look around my yard, I realize I don't have her energy.
I ❤️your honesty and giggled as I made tea to watch 😉. She’s amazing and inspiring and hopefully by the time my yards out of snow cover I’ll have the energy to try to do something to mine ....
@@anncarroll7354 L🤣L. I don't even have the excuse of waiting for the snow to melt. I currently have 35c/95f days so my excuse is it's too hot. Cheers from Down Under (Queensland, Australia) 🤗
@@MichaelBoerop unbelievable what you have achieved. You're absolutely amazing. The inner rest you find in yourself, is what you makes so special. Your husband must be the luckiest man in the world.

At the beginning of the summer and during a pandemic, I decided to renovate my backyard space. Though I’m 80% finished, I’m running out of steam. This video motivated me to keep going and BE PATIENT. Thank you Nicole for your inspiration and great design skills. Your backyard is absolutely beautiful and so are you!
@@MrSoldierperson you took the words right out of my mouth!! They finally do once they are grown and then its just a memory because by that time most of us can't do 1/4 of the projects we once did
@@TurboTalk_bfp so you are a rare child indeed. Happy to hear there are children who recognize their parent's talent and hard work ethic before they turn 18!! Thanks that warms my ❤
I love the way she smiles and laughs for a few seconds at the end. I know how you feel when you finish a project. Like WOW! I just did that! Just beautiful!
This is the kind of dedication and effort the Old World Artisans gave to their works, that's why they are still breathtaking to this day! So much better than rushed jobs! What a Beautiful creation!!
@@evaperez4139 Eva: you can rent some of the power tools - from places like Home Depot, Lowe's etc. Depending on where you live, people like us now retired and no longer needing to do our own projects, so have far too many bits and pieces tool-wise (he also inherited a ton of things from his Dad when he passed). It's long past time for us to pass them on. Basically, you begin with a good hammer, hand saw and a decent set of screwdrivers AND a really good quality measuring tape. The rest you accumulate as time goes on. As a young married I decided to install all my own floors in our new home (never having done so before), so got books from the library and jumped in, destroying my father-in-law's good wood chisels in an attempt to level my lumpy concrete slab floor at the time. BIG mistake I never made again, but that's how we learn. Today we have the internet and youtube with wonderful videos and talented people like Nicole to show us the way. :)
Using concrete pavers as a backer is genius! As you say, it eliminates the potential of cracking, and any subsidence can be easily rectified. You could even take them with you if you ever moved! I'm definitely stealing this idea.
aldridk gessa No different to a tiled bathroom or kitchen floor. They don't appear to he highly glazed, there is no reason why the surface should be especially slippery when wet.
@@spencerwilton5831 I know- but a kitchen or bath are not rooms that are exposed to the elements. In both these rooms water is restricted or contained. While there might be the occasional splash or spill, it’s not usually enough to cover the entire floor continuously- unless, of course a plumbing issue.
I achieved this look by stenciling a tile design on my patio & sealing with multiple coats of Varithane. That was hard enough. I can't imagine doing what this woman has done. Beautiful!
In addition to thinking, as I watched this excellent video, how on earth is her back not killing her, I also kept wondering how her hands look so dang pretty! I'm amazed at so many things about this incredible project. Nicole, I hope you put a comfortable chaise on your patio and just savor the beauty of your garden.
The secret ingredient in this work is pure love. It shows in her patience and dedication, all done for her family. Thank you. God bless Nicole and her family...
I feel like I just watched an Artist creating a Masterpiece. You were amazing, the Patio is outstanding, your patience and precision were so inspiring. I have never seen the making a case for the tiles like that. I have a patio that I have mulled over for maybe 10 yrs, thank you for the ideas, not that I can created that, but I will now be able to DO the project. Blessings
I watched from beginning to end, I couldn't stop watching. I wanted to see the end result, not just the pool but the tile in the garden. She is amazing and to go to work every day as well. I commend you, you are truly blessed. Your husband and kids should be so proud to have a wife and mom like you. God Bless!
She is so pretty and so talented. Not just with power tools but with design. It was so ingenius to use that white and blue tile in that dark corner of the yard. Not only does it tie all the colors of the pool together but it brightens and expands the space. So beautful. What a lucky famliy to have a super mom and wife like that!
You're not kidding! Those blocks are heavy enough to begin with, then after adding 6 more tiles to each one and adhesive they would be very heavy and hard to position!
Good lord this is simply beautiful. Life is so very short everyone. Make it what YOU want it 2 be. If THIS is not inspiration then I don't know what is. An astounding vision, time given 2 creating a plan, then step by step making it come true. Passion and patience play a big part too! I am so inspired. I will refer 2 this video 4 the rest of my life. "SHE BELUEVED SHE COULD SO SHE DID". Peace and love.😅
It’s silly but this really moved me. We think we have these limitations on what’s possible. But they’re false limitations. Thank you for this awareness.
She’s like the German man who bought the tiny home next door to him and every Sunday he works a little more they are awesome and very patient. A joy to watch!,
It just shows what you can do when you put your mind to it and don’t be afraid to make a few mistakes it all part of the process. What at fantastic job.
Honestly... it depends on the child. My first who is now 5 was an angel. He would entertain himself a lot. My now 2 year old girl is the complete opposite. She cries and she will shout until I come, the only way I can get her to stay in the living area a bit for me to tidy up is by giving her a water bottle that doesn’t spill so much and off I go... she spends the time spilling water into her tea cups and drinking off of them... and making a mess too. But at least is water 🤷♀️ She is always surprising me with her naughtiness levels. Listen to this... as her hair is longer I put hair clips on her hair holding her fringe up. You know what she did while I was busy clearing up? She switched the tv off grabbed her hair clip and stabbed our tv with it and scratched it all. Or in her head, I just turned this beautiful tool into a pencil and this tv is my perfect canvas. This was today. I never imagined a hair clip could be such a powerful weapon. My son was sleeping on his own since little. He got his own bed and bedroom at 1.5y with his own drawers and wardrobe. There was never a problem. I never even needed to ever use a gate. I had to buy 2 for my daughter. She also got her own bedroom at same age as her brother with her own furniture... guess what lol I spent a week folding clothes and putting them back! How did my son fall asleep... I would just give him his bottle from very young and let him be, shut the light off and close the bedroom door.. he would be asleep never getting up... You know what my daughter does????? Instead of drinking her milk she spills it everywhere along the walls!! The floor!! And even inside drawers!! Lmao Her furniture is now on our bedroom! And I have stopped giving her the bottle during day in her bedroom. She gets it at night when she goes to bed as it’s the only time she doesn’t get up at all and actually sleeps. At least there’s that... lol But this is also the last moments of her doing these things as she is maturing.. and it’s sad even tho it’s hard work at times I wouldn’t change anything. Sorry for the long comment I got ahead of myself and didn’t even realise how much I wrote!! Good luck!
Congratulations on your terrific work. I just love the fact that your a mum and can do this. Your an inspiration to me. I am teaching my own mother to use my power tools to build her own planter boxes and now she is learning mosaic and applying it onto her own pot plant holders that she has made herself. In her whole 68 yes she has never had anyone show her to do these projects. She is so happy and I just love seeing other women doing these sort of projects. Thank you.
The only people that I could ever imagine disliking this video are all the contractors that are pissed that she is doing such an amazing job on her own instead of paying them an exorbitant amount of money to do the same thing only worse. 😂 Seriously this lady is an inspiration and a true artist.
Contractors have their place. While I appreciate the work and the effort that goes into this project, I was wondering if I could use all that time to improve knowledge in my field or create value there and let the contractors or people who can do this and pay them for their work.
she didn't set the tile quite right...you trowel in one direction so when you set the tile it does not form air pockets between cross hatched thin set. You are also supposed to back butter the tile before you set to ensure proper adhesion. Water exposure as well as the freeze/thaw cycles will shorten the life span of this project for these 2 reasons.
She’s a keeper! Tile work is not to the weak…and she did a great job. Not sure I would’ve lived to see the day I saw someone work that hard without helping…😁.
Really great idea to use the pavers so the tiles don't break. I'm going to use this idea in our garden.Glad I came across this. It's inspiring for those of us who can't afford to call a contractor to do it.
Good for you and job well done. I am a woman that also works on my own projects around the house. What I love about your video is that you have demonstrated how, as a woman, we have to go about the projects perhaps a little differently but we get the job done nonetheless. Doing a little bit at a time as the body can tolerate, and persevere, is the secret. Lovely job and give yourself a big pat on the back.
Nicole amazes me everytime I watch. I need to hang some kitchen cupboards I bought. Been so afraid, even though I tackle alot need to learn how to do it. You have inspired me to go for it. As I'm single and live on a budget. You go girl....
Wow! That is absolutely gorgeous! You did an amazing job! It tired me out just watching you...but you kept going until you have this amazing masterpiece!🌟
This is so inspiring. My backyard is pretty small as well but I’ve been looking for ideas. Thank you Nicole. I will most certainly never say that my backyard is too small. Just make the best of it. .
Randomly landed here.. Loved the idea❤, the work and the filming process. I think this would probably work in India too. I loved your smile of content for the work and achievement at the end😊
She's actually inspiring us to spruce up our outdoor living spaces! I love that the videos show the steps, as that the best way to learn. We just finished a 16'x13' patio block patio and about to start walkways from the house to the patio. This would look great and maybe add lighting so the tiles will look awesome at night too!
Was in Portugal in 2007. The tile was everywhere. When they removed it from the roads for maintenance they wold number them and put them back in order. Walls, roads, castles, ruins everything was tiled and you never get tired of it
In portugal it's impossible to walk on the sidewalks because your feet become stiff and they are always broken. The small tiles they use need a lot of maintenance
I like how realistic this video is. A lot of DIY videos make it look so easy, but watching the videos, you see how heavy the stuff is that she lifts and when you see how many concrete pavers need to be tiled, you realize, it is A LOT OF STRENUOUS WORK. She really did an amazing job!
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. And the biggest pleasure was to see the wonderful way you are peacefully involved in the process. Too often I'm impatient for the end result and your example of savouring the process will stay with me. Thank you for that. 😊
The work put into that is meticulous. It took great effort but it looks tremendous! Well-done! The whole time I was watching it, I thinking that that level of quality can no longer be bought 😚😚😚
I love how long it took her! Slow and steady. I’m a DIYer and I always think it’s taking too long and I give myself a hard time over it. She looks like she is enjoying the process all the way to the end.
I guess I misunderstood the "turning concrete pavers into Portuguese tiles" description. I was thinking she was going to use a stencil and spray paint a pattern resembling Portuguese tiles onto her already existing concrete. 😐
I thought the exact same thing too but her project however costly it was turned out beautiful . Gotta live those stunning tiles!! I actually did my patio project by cleaning up my 2’x2’ concrete pavers then painted on old English style brick using multi colours & a hard sponge cut to the size of brick matching an older walkway to the patio. Fun project lotsa time in your knees very cost effective turned out great. Back in the day when stencils were hard to find for interiors & pricey and nobody was using them like they do today. Gratification is everything when you can sit back relaxed with a glass of your fav bevy & remember when....🌸🌷🌸

Nicole never ceases to amaze me. Such an incredibly brilliant artisan. Thank you for sharing her talents with the rest of us.
So inspiring. Also clearly need to up my parenting boundaries as I noticed her son was perfectly happy to entertain himself while she was working...
Honestly... it depends on the child.
My first who is now 5 was an angel.
He would entertain himself a lot. My now 2 year old girl is the complete opposite. She cries and she will shout until I come, the only way I can get her to stay in the living area a bit for me to tidy up is by giving her a water bottle that doesn’t spill so much and off I go... she spends the time spilling water into her tea cups and drinking off of them... and making a mess too.
But at least is water 🤷♀️
She is always surprising me with her naughtiness levels.
Listen to this... as her hair is longer I put hair clips on her hair holding her fringe up. You know what she did while I was busy clearing up?
She switched the tv off grabbed her hair clip and stabbed our tv with it and scratched it all. Or in her head, I just turned this beautiful tool into a pencil and this tv is my perfect canvas.
This was today.
I never imagined a hair clip could be such a powerful weapon.
My son was sleeping on his own since little. He got his own bed and bedroom at 1.5y with his own drawers and wardrobe. There was never a problem. I never even needed to ever use a gate.
I had to buy 2 for my daughter.
She also got her own bedroom at same age as her brother with her own furniture... guess what lol
I spent a week folding clothes and putting them back!
How did my son fall asleep... I would just give him his bottle from very young and let him be, shut the light off and close the bedroom door.. he would be asleep never getting up...
You know what my daughter does?????
Instead of drinking her milk she spills it everywhere along the walls!! The floor!! And even inside drawers!!
Lmao
Her furniture is now on our bedroom!
And I have stopped giving her the bottle during day in her bedroom.
She gets it at night when she goes to bed as it’s the only time she doesn’t get up at all and actually sleeps.
At least there’s that... lol
But this is also the last moments of her doing these things as she is maturing.. and it’s sad even tho it’s hard work at times I wouldn’t change anything.
Sorry for the long comment I got ahead of myself and didn’t even realise how much I wrote!! Good luck!

I think it'a bad idea to have tile where water is on it and you have to walk on it.
Contractors have their place. While I appreciate the work and the effort that goes into this project, I was wondering if I could use all that time to improve knowledge in my field or create value there and let the contractors or people who can do this and pay them for their work.

Wow this was amazing watch. The endurance and back power this woman has.
Thanks for sharing, I had some concrete tiles I was going to throw out but this look a good way to reuse them
Wow! That is absolutely gorgeous! You did an amazing job! It tired me out just watching you...but you kept going until you have this amazing masterpiece!🌟
This is so inspiring. My backyard is pretty small as well but I’ve been looking for ideas. Thank you Nicole. I will most certainly never say that my backyard is too small. Just make the best of it. .
Strong woman,inteligent,wisdom,work woman...I need do that..thank you..I learn...God bless you..
Nicole i admire you energy and skill,it must be so rewarding to you!
What a beautiful space you have created and all your very hard work paid off greatly!
Randomly landed here.. Loved the idea❤, the work and the filming process. I think this would probably work in India too. I loved your smile of content for the work and achievement at the end😊
She's actually inspiring us to spruce up our outdoor living spaces! I love that the videos show the steps, as that the best way to learn. We just finished a 16'x13' patio block patio and about to start walkways from the house to the patio. This would look great and maybe add lighting so the tiles will look awesome at night too!
This woman is an absolute Rock Star! AMAZING!!!
I’m so impressed and so proud as a woman.
Was in Portugal in 2007. The tile was everywhere. When they removed it from the roads for maintenance they wold number them and put them back in order. Walls, roads, castles, ruins everything was tiled and you never get tired of it
In portugal it's impossible to walk on the sidewalks because your feet become stiff and they are always broken. The small tiles they use need a lot of maintenance
This is gorgeous! You should be so proud of that patio
I suffered looking her working so hard, what a woman!!!
I like how realistic this video is. A lot of DIY videos make it look so easy, but watching the videos, you see how heavy the stuff is that she lifts and when you see how many concrete pavers need to be tiled, you realize, it is A LOT OF STRENUOUS WORK. She really did an amazing job!
Nicole is one hard-working woman! That is the tamp tamp dance. It looked beautiful when finished.
WOW❣ Beautiful, you did an amazing job❣👏👏👏
Her laugh at the end, beautiful! 🙌🏻
Nicole is a great example of creativity.
wow!!! there's a ton of steps involved in that project, congratulations, looks amazing.
I don’t know why I’m watching this… but it’s so comforting!!! Nice job lady 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. And the biggest pleasure was to see the wonderful way you are peacefully involved in the process. Too often I'm impatient for the end result and your example of savouring the process will stay with me. Thank you for that.
😊
Who else has literally watched Nicole transform her oasis
The song for the dance is...I AM WOMAN, hear me roar !!! Back breaking work, what an inspirational lady
The work put into that is meticulous. It took great effort but it looks tremendous! Well-done! The whole time I was watching it, I thinking that that level of quality can no longer be bought 😚😚😚
I love how long it took her! Slow and steady. I’m a DIYer and I always think it’s taking too long and I give myself a hard time over it. She looks like she is enjoying the process all the way to the end.
Wow! This woman is amazing! Beautiful work. Wish I had her strong back!!
Looks amazing! Great job, and what a beautiful backyard!
I just subscribed. These kids have an amazing mom.
I guess I misunderstood the "turning concrete pavers into Portuguese tiles" description. I was thinking she was going to use a stencil and spray paint a pattern resembling Portuguese tiles onto her already existing concrete. 😐
no
I thought exactly the same!!! I’m disappointed.
Me too. So tired of clickbait.
Me too 🤣
I thought the exact same thing too but her project however costly it was turned out beautiful . Gotta live those stunning tiles!!
I actually did my patio project by cleaning up my 2’x2’ concrete pavers then painted on old English style brick using multi colours & a hard sponge cut to the size of brick matching an older walkway to the patio.
Fun project lotsa time in your knees very cost effective turned out great.
Back in the day when stencils were hard to find for interiors & pricey and nobody was using them like they do today. Gratification is everything when you can sit back relaxed with a glass of your fav bevy & remember when....🌸🌷🌸
We're soul sisters Nicole! I do stuff like this all the time! This is a great idea! I also know that those concrete pavers are HEAVY HEAVY!
i am so proud of Nicole and all her hard work!
