I know it’s too late to comment but in the spaces you could grow thyme it’s a herb and it’s very good in rock garden type setting. When your feet brush up on it it releases lovely scent. Also succulents on the perimeter like sedums the ground cover variety. They come in different colors and leaf shape so have tiny flowers. Also if you have large pots filled with flowering plants it will add some amazing color. The basic hard scape is set now. You can add plantings to soften the space.
Agreed! Here in California, creeping thyme (pink flowers) are popular between pavers, and the scent is lovely. A few lavenders in bright pots in the patio area for the scent and color would be good, and help to soften the stone as well.
Not if it dry and hot the moss won’t grow. Looks like one the summer heat starts it’s hot hot hot. Maybe they’ll build a pergola for shade seating in the future. Their home is lovely and the views are magical.
Určite by som do medzier nasadila rozchodník...používa sa na vždyzelené strechy a prežije aj dlhšie sucho. Tymián je tiež skvelá voľba a prekrásne vonia. Neviem či dať trávu do medzier dlažby bola dobrá voľba nakoľko trávnik potrebuje veľa vlahy a na tejto terasa tej vlahy veľa nie je ako bolo spomenuté vo videu. Tak snáď nájdu tú správnu kombináciu rastlín a budú im dlho robiť radosť ❤
Se posso darvi un suggerimento, io vi consiglio vivamente di fare una panca continua coperta con le mattonelle di terracotta, come il vostro pavimento in casa. Nella casa dei miei genitori aveva intorno dei muriccioli di pietra coperte con le mattonelle di cotto stuccate. In questo modo il muracciolo è protetto e non ci sono infiltrazioni che possono rompere e fare staccare le pietre sotto. Vi assicuro che dopo 60 anni questi muretti con le pianelle di terracotta sono perfette e, a differenza del legno, non necessita di manutenzione e non si deteriorano. E danno anche un senso di pulizia e ordine, pur mantenendo i colori naturali della terra intorno.
Rozmýšľala som nad tým čo by dom s terasou ešte viac prepojilo a terakotová dlažba mi tiež prišla na rozum. Takže aj za mňa skvelý nápad, hlavne dlhodobo udržateľný a nenáročný na údržbu 😊
I love that you used the stones from inside the house to make the patio, it’s absolutely beautiful. I would continue to use these beautiful stones and a wooden bench would look wonderful on the patio. You did an amazing job!
I think a wood beam pergola would be perfect over the terrace to have a place for climbing roses, ivy or beans. The wood stained to match the window casings. It gives a place to string fairy lights to vertical and horizontal elements, provide a little break up of the scorching sun, but still allow the sunshine to come in. A birdbath or water fountain lined in azure blue mosaic tile will add color that reflects the sky. Outdoor square cushions, like those used on boats or patio benches simply placed onto the stone wall will provide comfortable seating and color without any permanent structure,
Stones, less cost, more durable. You can achieve a break of softness with colourful pillows like colours of your kitchen and yellows and oranges from inside... extend inside colours to outside living spaces. You have accomplished amazing work. BRAVO!
I love the idea of terracotta tiles for the bench. They would get such a beautiful patina from people sitting on them. Save the wood for a massive dining table
Salut ! La terrasse est très belle avec le sol en pierre, mais je suis d'accord qu'il serait plus intéressant que le banc soit en bois. La décoration à la fin, avec la table, les chaises et les chaises longues en bois est magnifique, et "réclame" le banc en bois. Comme vous l'avez dit vous-même, il permettrait d'intégrer des lumières, ce qui complèterait le tout, et nous fait déjà imaginer des rassemblements pour profiter de la terrasse l'après-midi, à l'abri de la pergola, et le soir, en été et au printemps, en regardant les étoiles en haut et les lumières du village en bas, parfumées par les plantes des alentours. A la vôtre !
You are part of my Sunday routine, I look forward to seeing your progress. I don’t know where you get your energy and drive but you give this old man a great deal of pleasure as you continuously never let your high standards drop. I’m kind of proud of you.
Hola queridos amigos. Soy pintora y adoro las casas de piedra. Les recomendaría banco de madera con forja. La piedra y la madera armonizan maravillosamente y al mismo tiempo rompen la monotonía. Después adornar con muchas flores. Se verá espectacular !!! ❤❤
I have watched every episode and love the content. The sheer weight you have moved, the research you have done and the never ending attention to detail - truly brilliant. Now you have a terrace to sit and admire the superb result. Bravo - fantastic!
An excellent terrace creation using recycled stonework. A treated wooden seating space would look good. Long term it will rot but can always be replaced / treated. Lighting (solar powered) would look great. Have you thought of a small pond somewhere. W 👍
I think use the remaining stones and then cover the stones, the bright lounge pads, and pillows. The contrast of the bright lounge pads with colorful pillows would be amazing.
The patio looks great! I’d select wood deck with soft lighting to illuminate the deck and iron furniture. The bamboo roof support with the grape vines growing throughout the patio terrace will look nice and be comfortable.
Agree! That would make an already beautiful area even more beautiful! Lights placed underneath the decking boards, green grass growing between the stones, and vines growing overhead on the pergola would all soften the area.
A pergola over your patio space with the bamboo screening and the vine you mentioned would make for a nice liveable outdoor space during the summer heat.
Same stones. Definitely not wooden bench. Colourful shrubs look stunning against and on stone. Wood has no impact at all and cant compare to stones. The stoned area is really beautiful.
Many comments regarding a wooden bench😂… 😮 no, I do not see a wooden bench in your landscape with your house and with your terrace … I see more stone seating/table and lots of seating pillows that are made of water resistant/waterproof material so you don’t need to run and get them when it’s raining❤❤ I do not speak French nor Italian, yet your videos in both languages are extremely soothing and a pleasure to listen to❤ I discovered you a few months ago, and very much enjoy all of your undertakings❤
I appreciate the way you give equal consideration to the indoor and outdoor spaces and how they compliment and balance the whole environment. Filling the spaces between the stones with earth and grass seed, making a living floor...just brilliant 🙂
Ever since the early video of you building the stone wall and benches, I've been imagining how your terrace would look! My favorite part of your house! The pergola sounds fantastic! What ever you choose will be beautiful! 🌞🌧️🌿☕
A friend did something similar bit instead of grass he transplanted indigenous mosses. We thought he was crazy when he put clumps of moss into his blender, added a milk whey solution blending it all together. The resulting mixture was dribbled on the ground between patio stones. Within a season he had lush green moss growing between the stones. Wishing you and your furry supervisor a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings in your restored home. Peace
I think the wooden bench with some ambient lighting would be nice. You can add some nice bright Cushions on the back and for sitting making it really cozy.
Yeah, definitely a wooden type bench with lights up lighting the stone wall. When everything is established, planting wise, it would look spectacular in the evenings. 👍. Though,anything you two do will no doubt be amazing.
The stone floor came out perfectly!!! I would like to see a canvas for shade . Wooden benches and table would work. If you put lighting in the area it would be beautiful. Whatever you choose will be wonderful.
Ooh, I've been waiting for this! It's beautiful and adds so much personality to the house. It is a Lot Of Work. I have a flagstone patio in my back yard. It saved you a lot of work that the footprint was already there. The organic shape really suits that space. Coffee and croissants in the morning and a glass of wine watching the sunset. Enjoy!
Love, Love, LOVE the new terrace!!!! What a lovely spot to sit and watch the sunrise with coffee or sunset with wine!! I think your idea of a wooden bench with lights is the right choice. It will break up the stone, and look even more gorgeous when the grass starts to fil in. Enjoy for me!!
The addition of wood as the seating area is excellent. Cyprus would age to a beautiful silver. Cedar would provide a darker contrast to the stone. Either would look magnificent as well as offer a cooler seat than stone... Colorful pillows in oiled canvas would be stunning. ❤️
I was once visiting Los Vagus when it was 114 degrees. It was very hot walking on the sidewalks. At night you could not sit on the rocks that lined the street because the heat from the rocks burned your skin. I like the idea of wood seating on the rock along the patio. I also like the idea of using the vine for shade overhead. I think you are going to have a very functional living area when you cool the patio down a bit.
Ich denke auch, dass schon genug Stein vorhanden ist! Würde also die Sitzbank in Holz - passend zu den Fensterrahmen und -stöcken - ausführen, so wie vorgeschlagen! ❤😮
I don't recall how I discovered your videos, but I'm so glad I did. Your weekly videos pair perfectly with Sunday morning coffee :-) The transformation from the ruin you started with to a such a beautiful home is nothing short of remarkable, amazing, phenomenal...a labor of love!
Crazy paving with grass joints, Love it! Time to break out the welding gear and make yourself a boxed metal framed table & bench with plained scaffolding boards... and a very well deserved hammock😜
Lovely, I feel your pain. In my home over 1000sq ft of Tennessee Flagstone ( pinks, oranges , soft beiges )along with the heating in the floor. Our stone mason from Ireland laid a true work of art . You did a terrific job
Once again, a perfect job! Yes, the addition of wood and lights will be great. Well done, you two. Many hours will be spent there, I can predict! 👏👏👏🥂🥃🥂🍾
Might you create another bench such as the one your woodburner sits on, but with cocciopesto mixed into the skim coat? Whatever material you use for the banquette, I would love to see some of the rich burnt tones of your door surrounds and roof tiles. I love that you used the original floor stone, and plan to use existing vines to shade yourselves!
I think that wood will be perfect - not as a new material, but to match the frames on the doors. This will also help to tie the inside and outside together. The ore you do that, the more it will feel like one cohesive space rather than a series of smaller, different spaces.
I agree that a wooden bench for seating would be really nice. Lighting would also be very nice and useful. Perhaps some simple all-weather cushions for comfort as well. It’s really a very lovely space.
I've watched all your videos and this is my favorite. I've ben laying stones off my deck to prevent the overused path from getting muddy. Today I went to a landscaping wholesaler, flat stones were US .48 a pound if you bought them less than a palate. Your patio in the US would be very expensive using your native materials.
I love the idea of a wooden bench along the entire length of the seating area. After a lot of hard work, the terrace looks beautiful and will be even more so with grass growing. Very nice against the full length windows with wood casement.
io metterei una panca in legno, con lo schienale sempre in legno, semplice semplice ma che stacchi un pò dalle tante pietre che ci sono . Bravissimi ragazzi 💪💪💪
Cari,siete bravissimi! Il pavimento del terrazzo è stupendo ! È bellissima l'idea della panca di legno e aggiungerei una tettoia per fare ombra nelle ore più calde,ma solo se è nei vostri desideri naturalmente...bravissimi !!! ❤
Congratulations - 100K subscribers! Woo hoo! My recommendation for the terrace would be to be surface it with crushed red granite, compacted to a firm surface, alternated with a different, darker flat stone to place large stone/pottery jars containing flowers or ornamental shrubs, or polished concrete raised garden beds for flowers/herbs. You could also have one or two beautiful outdoor wooden bench seats as well, because you have decent length along the raised terrace. Whatever you decide, I"m sure it will be well-designed and executed. Your outdoor living area will be magnifique!
I'm impressed with your tenacity! This was yet another hard and tedious job to stick out. I love the look you've achieved and the small perennials will do a great job for looks and function. A wood seat would be very nice and will also be easier to sit on. Glad your planning a pergola because with West exposure it would be unbearable to use in the afternoon. As usual you've thought of all of that already and planned a lovely natural remedy! I look forward to seeing the results. Any guest should have to view a mandatory video of all the hard and tedious work you've gone through to really appreciate what it has taken. Thank you as always.
Bellissimo lavoro 😊 come sempre, siete molto bravi, fate di tutto e questo è meraviglioso, io staccherei dalle pietre con il legno,certo fuori sotto le intemperie non è il massimo ma ci sono prodotti per assicurarsi una buona durata,bisogna tenere presente che il legno poi ha bisogno di manutenzione 😊 ma a voi il lavoro non fa paura 😅 complimenti per tutto 😊 dalle Dolomiti ❤
I would love to see rustic beams over parts of the benches and gorgeous roses mixed with grapes growing! Beautiful cushions on chairs and wonderful bulb lighting! Eventually, a fountain!! So many wonderful ideas!! An English garden!! Wonderful steps leading up to a walkway lined with plants and grass!! Two lamps leading to the patio!!
Simply awesome. I like the idea of going with something like wood for the bench seating. It's natural, would match the surroundings and could be designed to make for very comfortable sitting. With some colorful pillows and a covered area to keep the sun off of you, it will like being on vacation without ever having to leave home.
Gorgeous-I love it! The only thing I’m thinking of is soil can become hydrophobic-especially under hot/dry conditions. If you get water sitting on top of the soil, it will float/run-off/leave a mess. Maybe adding tamped-in pea gravel or crushed granite will help, as those always remain permeable.
So pretty! I appreciate the tip about using sand as you lay the stones. I vote for a wood bench - some warmth of the woods like what you've used on your outside trim would add such depth to this outdoor space.
ces vieilles pierres sont superbes! quel boulot encore! quel courage! votre chien est tout à fait d'accord avec moi!! lol! 😜 c'est sympa de nous faire participer! j'opte pour le bois, surtout, si comme vous le précisez, il pourra y être intégré des lumières! ... 🤩 l'herbe "naturelle" a, quand même, besoin de quelques jours pour "sortir"!!!! 😉 vous allez "accrocher" la pergola en fer au mur de la maison??? on verra ça, petit à petit! à bientôt! ! et merci du partage! blesss... 🥰
beautiful as always! One thing to keep an eye on with rain: water buildup near the edge of the house. There is risk of water intrusion by the foundation unless the patio has a very gentle slope down and away from the house. We experienced this with my parents house. The patio was re-set with a five centimeter grade that ran the length of the deck away from the house (about 4 meters).
I like the idea of wooden seats with some vintage cushions or rugs. Thyme would be a good idea in some of the spaces between the paving. But it looks amazing anyway 😊
Bonjour, toujours aussi réjouissant de vous regarder et de voir ce petit coin de paradis s'embellir. J'adhère à nombre de vos choix et aux raisons que vous leurs donnez. Puisque la question est posée, pour la banquette de la terrasse, j'opterais pour le bois. Effectivement cela trancherait un peu de tout ce minéral, même pour un amoureux de la pierre comme moi. Les lumières sous les lattes et la pergola métallique seront parfaites... Hâte de voir ça !!!! Bonne continuation et belle vie à vous.
I love the patio stones. I look forward to seeing grass growing between the stones. I should have some permits available to start my plumbing and electric in the cottage. I learned so much from you both. Very exciting. Your home is beautiful.
Love it! After the grass grows in and few potted plants it will look wonderful! Putting wood that sits atop the rock bench with built in tables would look nice, then you could have a few throw pillows.
I do think the wooden bench idea fits a lot better into the pergola and is much softer than using stone, but that is solely a personal view. I feel it allows you to evolve the whole ambience of the inside/outside effect of and on this area. Love the thought you both put into the project. Regards
Absolutely no way I would complain about either choice. They have been fabulous every time. You do you and I will like the result and dream of the sun.
Great work and I love that you are putting grass between the stones to break the “minerality” of the terrace as well as for drainage. A wooden bench along the wall would be great but if you keep it in stone, the stone will retain the heat in the evening which might be something nice in spring and autumn. I have a stone terrace and it’s facing full south which means that up to late October we can enjoy sitting there with that little bit of extra heat which makes it super enjoyable
The stone patio turned out beautiful and all the material was already there and somewhat flat. Having grass grow between the joints is a good idea. The metal pergola is a must for shade, perhaps adding a potted olive tree in an oversized planter would also help with shade and something green. A wooden bench (or just a wooden platform) on top stone terrace would be much softer than sitting on a rock, but I've also used a rock as a pillow while camping, lol. Honestly, you can do just about anything out there and I would like it. As always, excellent work, ciao!
Looks very nice. I would suggest some brightly colored ceramic pots filled with flowering plants in the corners to break up the stone. Some up on the seating area, too. Some custome cushions, also in some bright colors, on the seating area would not only break up the stone but be more comfortable for guests.
HI, I think a wooden bench would be a great addition, giving a bit of a softer feel, complimenting the stone.
Agree!
Agree. Complimenting the stone and corresponding with the window frames and the furniture. 🤗
Those were my exact thoughts!!! It would make the stone all around pop out more beautifully!!! Good job guys!!!
Je pense que vous avez raison d'envisager de mettre du bois. 😊
Agree with a wooden bench stained same color as windows
I know it’s too late to comment but in the spaces you could grow thyme it’s a herb and it’s very good in rock garden type setting. When your feet brush up on it it releases lovely scent. Also succulents on the perimeter like sedums the ground cover variety. They come in different colors and leaf shape so have tiny flowers. Also if you have large pots filled with flowering plants it will add some amazing color. The basic hard scape is set now. You can add plantings to soften the space.
I was thinking the exact same thing
Agreed! Here in California, creeping thyme (pink flowers) are popular between pavers, and the scent is lovely. A few lavenders in bright pots in the patio area for the scent and color would be good, and help to soften the stone as well.
And what about moss?
Not if it dry and hot the moss won’t grow. Looks like one the summer heat starts it’s hot hot hot. Maybe they’ll build a pergola for shade seating in the future. Their home is lovely and the views are magical.
Určite by som do medzier nasadila rozchodník...používa sa na vždyzelené strechy a prežije aj dlhšie sucho. Tymián je tiež skvelá voľba a prekrásne vonia. Neviem či dať trávu do medzier dlažby bola dobrá voľba nakoľko trávnik potrebuje veľa vlahy a na tejto terasa tej vlahy veľa nie je ako bolo spomenuté vo videu. Tak snáď nájdu tú správnu kombináciu rastlín a budú im dlho robiť radosť ❤
Se posso darvi un suggerimento, io vi consiglio vivamente di fare una panca continua coperta con le mattonelle di terracotta, come il vostro pavimento in casa.

Excellent idea! I hope they choose to do this.

Wood does have to be maintained especially if it is subjected to changing temperatures.
Grazie Fiamma per il super consiglio!
I love that you used the stones from inside the house to make the patio, it’s absolutely beautiful. I would continue to use these beautiful stones and a wooden bench would look wonderful on the patio. You did an amazing job!
thank you so much ❤❤
I think a wood beam pergola would be perfect over the terrace to have a place for climbing roses, ivy or beans. The wood stained to match the window casings. It gives a place to string fairy lights to vertical and horizontal elements, provide a little break up of the scorching sun, but still allow the sunshine to come in. A birdbath or water fountain lined in azure blue mosaic tile will add color that reflects the sky. Outdoor square cushions, like those used on boats or patio benches simply placed onto the stone wall will provide comfortable seating and color without any permanent structure,
A pergola would be wonderful.
Stones, less cost, more durable. You can achieve a break of softness with colourful pillows like colours of your kitchen and yellows and oranges from inside... extend inside colours to outside living spaces. You have accomplished amazing work. BRAVO!
indeed❤❤❤ great idea - you are very correct❤

Looks wonderful, Decking boards stained to match your window in the seating area with stone wall opposite would look marvelous
Agree! That would make an already beautiful area even more beautiful!
Lights placed underneath the decking boards, green grass growing between the stones, and vines growing overhead on the pergola would all soften the area.

I think a beautiful table in wood would be good - but recommend stone bench topper (to avoid rot/water intrusion). Come toujours, remarkable!
Thank you 🤍

Terrasse parfaitement intégrée dans le site naturel superbe !
Concernant la banquette, je me permets de suggèrer un revêtement lisse sur le dessus style béton ciré et plein de coussins de couleurs vives .....

Wooden bench and the terrace slabs are stunning..bravo
The wood bench tops with lighting sounds like a fantastic plan! The stone patio looks amazing. I can't wait to see when the grass fills in the joints!
Thank you so much!!
Looks amazing! Love the decision to plant grass. I’m looking forward to seeing how that looks when it comes in! Looks incredible!
I finished watching your skylight before coming here.
I am glad you're a fan of this channel

Красивая терраса будет, с виноградом . Очень жду продолжения
I can see a nice wood pergola in there. With a nice table, chairs and a built-in bbq. The terrace is looking good. Beautiful work!
Thanks!! 😘
Crazy paving with grass joints, Love it! Time to break out the welding gear and make yourself a boxed metal framed table & bench with plained scaffolding boards... and a very well deserved hammock😜
I second the hammock idea. You'll need one built for two hardworking, talented people and a much loved pup! ❤
A wooden bench stained like the window frames. Also consider painting the table and chairs sage green to contrast with darker green grass
I think a wooden bench would look amazing.
Lovely, I feel your pain. In my home over 1000sq ft of Tennessee Flagstone ( pinks, oranges , soft beiges )along with the heating in the floor. Our stone mason from Ireland laid a true work of art . You did a terrific job
👏👏👏 Awesome job guys!!!! A wooden bench and a wooden pergola gives that terrace a very country and relaxed look.
Thank you so much 🩷
Sicuramente la panca in legno sia per l'estetica che per la praticità , e anche per la gradevolezza termica nel sedersi. Complimenti
Grazie ✨
a wooden bench would look Great ,and the lights YES.
You did a great job on the puzzle pieces. The dirt was impressive to see with having grass. The idea of a wooden bench was a good idea also.
Thanks 💞
Un banc en bois, quelle bonne idée. Et nous allons être bientôt 100 000. Bravo !
🎉
@@ateliermavi Et bien les 100 k sont là. Bravo à vous deux, vous le méritez !
Once again, a perfect job! Yes, the addition of wood and lights will be great. Well done, you two. Many hours will be spent there, I can predict! 👏👏👏🥂🥃🥂🍾

Agregar madera parece ser la mejor idea para romper la monotonía de la piedra, pero.......es solo una humilde opinión desde el otro lado del mundo.
Fantástico trabajo, desde Aragón ( Spain)
Muchas gracias 💕
I agree that a wooden bench for seating would be really nice. Lighting would also be very nice and useful. Perhaps some simple all-weather cushions for comfort as well. It’s really a very lovely space.
Thank you 🥰
Invece di semi di prato, avreste potuto mettere semi di timo serpillo: non cresce in altezza, profuma e fiorisce. Bella la terrazza!
Grazie per il consiglio, se non dovesse crescere l’erba provvederemo con il timo serpillo!! 🌿
I've watched all your videos and this is my favorite. I've ben laying stones off my deck to prevent the overused path from getting muddy. Today I went to a landscaping wholesaler, flat stones were US .48 a pound if you bought them less than a palate. Your patio in the US would be very expensive using your native materials.
I love the idea of a wooden bench along the entire length of the seating area. After a lot of hard work, the terrace looks beautiful and will be even more so with grass growing. Very nice against the full length windows with wood casement.
Thanks 💕
Agreed .
Need to soften the area. Pot plants will also "tone down" the stone.
Try bouganvillia or palms in pots for more greenery.
Oh red bougainvillea would be gorgeous!!

io metterei una panca in legno, con lo schienale sempre in legno, semplice semplice ma che stacchi un pò dalle tante pietre che ci sono . Bravissimi ragazzi 💪💪💪
Grazieee 💜 per complimenti e consiglio!
Cari,siete bravissimi! Il pavimento del terrazzo è stupendo ! È bellissima l'idea della panca di legno e aggiungerei una tettoia per fare ombra nelle ore più calde,ma solo se è nei vostri desideri naturalmente...bravissimi !!! ❤
Grazie mille 💙💙💙
Congratulations - 100K subscribers! Woo hoo! My recommendation for the terrace would be to be surface it with crushed red granite, compacted to a firm surface, alternated with a different, darker flat stone to place large stone/pottery jars containing flowers or ornamental shrubs, or polished concrete raised garden beds for flowers/herbs. You could also have one or two beautiful outdoor wooden bench seats as well, because you have decent length along the raised terrace. Whatever you decide, I"m sure it will be well-designed and executed. Your outdoor living area will be magnifique!
Banquette en bois avec lumiaires, bravo.
Oui, outdoor decking boards for a bench area, a nice wooden facade to tie the stone area to earth
I'm impressed with your tenacity! This was yet another hard and tedious job to stick out. I love the look you've achieved and the small perennials will do a great job for looks and function. A wood seat would be very nice and will also be easier to sit on. Glad your planning a pergola because with West exposure it would be unbearable to use in the afternoon. As usual you've thought of all of that already and planned a lovely natural remedy! I look forward to seeing the results. Any guest should have to view a mandatory video of all the hard and tedious work you've gone through to really appreciate what it has taken. Thank you as always.
Bellissimo lavoro 😊 come sempre, siete molto bravi, fate di tutto e questo è meraviglioso, io staccherei dalle pietre con il legno,certo fuori sotto le intemperie non è il massimo ma ci sono prodotti per assicurarsi una buona durata,bisogna tenere presente che il legno poi ha bisogno di manutenzione 😊 ma a voi il lavoro non fa paura 😅 complimenti per tutto 😊 dalle Dolomiti ❤
Grazie per i complimenti e per i consigli 🙏🏼💜
I would love to see rustic beams over parts of the benches and gorgeous roses mixed with grapes growing! Beautiful cushions on chairs and wonderful bulb lighting!
Eventually, a fountain!!
So many wonderful ideas!! An English garden!! Wonderful steps leading up to a walkway lined with plants and grass!! Two lamps leading to the patio!!
😂✨❤️
Simply awesome. I like the idea of going with something like wood for the bench seating. It's natural, would match the surroundings and could be designed to make for very comfortable sitting. With some colorful pillows and a covered area to keep the sun off of you, it will like being on vacation without ever having to leave home.
Thanks 💙
Gorgeous-I love it! The only thing I’m thinking of is soil can become hydrophobic-especially under hot/dry conditions. If you get water sitting on top of the soil, it will float/run-off/leave a mess. Maybe adding tamped-in pea gravel or crushed granite will help, as those always remain permeable.
I would put decking benches against the house as well
I like the idea of a wooden deck. It would tie in with the wood framed windows and doors. The terrace looks like a lovely area to relax.
Thanks!!
Wooden bench or 2, rustic looking would suit the area very well.
Looks stunning, love the idea of the earth and grass growing inbetween the stones.
Thank you so much 💙
Complimenti ragazzi, avete trasformato questo rudere in un bellissimo angolo di paradiso. Bravissimi 👏👏👏👏👏
Grazie mille 🥹💙
So pretty! I appreciate the tip about using sand as you lay the stones. I vote for a wood bench - some warmth of the woods like what you've used on your outside trim would add such depth to this outdoor space.
Thanks 🌿💚
ces vieilles pierres sont superbes! quel boulot encore! quel courage! votre chien est tout à fait d'accord avec moi!! lol! 😜
c'est sympa de nous faire participer! j'opte pour le bois, surtout, si comme vous le précisez, il pourra y être intégré des lumières! ... 🤩
l'herbe "naturelle" a, quand même, besoin de quelques jours pour "sortir"!!!! 😉
vous allez "accrocher" la pergola en fer au mur de la maison??? on verra ça, petit à petit! à bientôt! ! et merci du partage! blesss... 🥰
beautiful as always! One thing to keep an eye on with rain: water buildup near the edge of the house. There is risk of water intrusion by the foundation unless the patio has a very gentle slope down and away from the house. We experienced this with my parents house. The patio was re-set with a five centimeter grade that ran the length of the deck away from the house (about 4 meters).
I like the idea of wooden seats with some vintage cushions or rugs. Thyme would be a good idea in some of the spaces between the paving. But it looks amazing anyway 😊
Thank you so much!! 🐾
Fabulous, as always. I like the idea of a darkly stained wooded bench on the bank with lights, as you described.
Thank you 🤍🙏🏼✨
Bonjour, toujours aussi réjouissant de vous regarder et de voir ce petit coin de paradis s'embellir. J'adhère à nombre de vos choix et aux raisons que vous leurs donnez. Puisque la question est posée, pour la banquette de la terrasse, j'opterais pour le bois. Effectivement cela trancherait un peu de tout ce minéral, même pour un amoureux de la pierre comme moi. Les lumières sous les lattes et la pergola métallique seront parfaites... Hâte de voir ça !!!!
Bonne continuation et belle vie à vous.
I love the patio stones. I look forward to seeing grass growing between the stones. I should have some permits available to start my plumbing and electric in the cottage. I learned so much from you both. Very exciting. Your home is beautiful.
Love it! After the grass grows in and few potted plants it will look wonderful! Putting wood that sits atop the rock bench with built in tables would look nice, then you could have a few throw pillows.
💛
I do think the wooden bench idea fits a lot better into the pergola and is much softer than using stone, but that is solely a personal view. I feel it allows you to evolve the whole ambience of the inside/outside effect of and on this area. Love the thought you both put into the project. Regards
❤️
Absolutely no way I would complain about either choice. They have been fabulous every time. You do you and I will like the result and dream of the sun.
🥹thank you❤️
Le bois avec les lumières, très bonne idée :)
Great work and I love that you are putting grass between the stones to break the “minerality” of the terrace as well as for drainage.
A wooden bench along the wall would be great but if you keep it in stone, the stone will retain the heat in the evening which might be something nice in spring and autumn.
I have a stone terrace and it’s facing full south which means that up to late October we can enjoy sitting there with that little bit of extra heat which makes it super enjoyable
❤️🙏🏼
The stone patio turned out beautiful and all the material was already there and somewhat flat. Having grass grow between the joints is a good idea. The metal pergola is a must for shade, perhaps adding a potted olive tree in an oversized planter would also help with shade and something green. A wooden bench (or just a wooden platform) on top stone terrace would be much softer than sitting on a rock, but I've also used a rock as a pillow while camping, lol. Honestly, you can do just about anything out there and I would like it. As always, excellent work, ciao!
Thank you so much 💓💓💓
Looks very nice. I would suggest some brightly colored ceramic pots filled with flowering plants in the corners to break up the stone. Some up on the seating area, too. Some custome cushions, also in some bright colors, on the seating area would not only break up the stone but be more comfortable for guests.
Thank you 🤍💙💚💛🩷💜❤️
Des lames en bois pour la banquette , sinon super travaille comme d'habitude 👍👍👍👍👍👍
