How do I make my patio look better?

I have a brick patio..or is it a deck? not sure. It is made of concrete with red bricks around it. I envision my son doing one of his paintings on it. Is that feasible? If so, what do I do to start? I'm a SERIOUS novice and new homeowner!!

Hi Taquila! They do sell paint that can be used on concrete, if he is able to use that, I think having one of his paintings on there would be really neat!
Hi Taquila, first congrats on the new home. Start by cleaning the surface with soap and water. Allow it to dry completely before he paints. He can use latex paint, but it will need to be sealed and depending on the weather may not last for a long time. However, even when faded, it can be a great c How to Paint Concrete: 10 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow onversation piece. Good luck.
Hi TaQuila! Yes, your son could paint on the bricks and would could be beautiful and a masterpiece. Here's a link to what is involved. Please share with us if he does paint it...we love to see other's creativity!

While you are getting the paint, TaQuila, ask them about something non-yellowing that you can use as a top coat to make the painting last longer due to walking on it, weather, sun, etc. Your idea sounds great, why don't you post the project!
