Looking for something to complete your deck or patio? This island from Love My DIY Home might be just the perfect thing!
See hoe to make this DIY Deck Island.
I think this would be such a fun thing to have in my yard. It could either be used as a checkerboard, a chess board or to play a ton of games with my kids. Their imaginations would come alive with different ways to use this. Find out how at the DIY Network (found via The How-To Girl.) Go HERE for a checkerboard patio.
If I had a cement patio (or sidewalk), I would definitely use this technique from Beneath My Heart to make it a faux tiled patio.
