Color Concrete Garden Projects: Make Your Own Planters, Furniture, and Fire Pits Using Creative Techniques and Vibrant Finishes
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Incorporating concrete design into a home garden can now be easily achieved by any do-it-yourself enthusiast! Concrete furniture and containers add style and personality to outdoor spaces, and the addition of color makes these objects even more eye-catching. These trendy pieces can cost thousands of dollars at garden centers and furniture stores, but they can also be made affordably at home. In this hands-on guide, concrete artisans Nathan Smith and Michael Snyder offer basic information on how to mix concrete and add color using dyes, paints, and inlaid materials. The twenty step-by-step projects include small items, like a candle holder with an old-world feel and a simple stacked-ring planter, and larger pieces, like an elegant bike rack and a beautiful fire pit that is the perfect gathering place for friends and family.

Starred review from June 15, 2015
Make your own unique colored concrete creations with instructions from craftsmen Smith and Snyder. Standouts include a bike stand, a delightful children's chair, and an address sign. The authors' step-by-step instructions with accompanying photos depict each stage and important techniques and tips; they also illustrate fresh methods and use unusual molds, such as a round light fixture and plastic trash cans. Projects are arranged from easy to moderate and challenging. The strength of this guide lies in the eccentric designs and the highly detailed guidance. Each is wonderfully organized, with a complete list of materials and tools needed. VERDICT This book has taken concrete projects to a new high; there's nothing else quite as focused on the subject. For a general concrete container book, see Malin Nilsson and Camilla Arvidsson's Concrete Garden Projects. A true standout--superior instructions and innovative design and use of pigment. A must for any DIY collection.
