Herringbone Hotness

Hey guys, hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Here we are at Monday once more but I know this week is just gonna fly and then it'll be July (hah). This weekend I'm really looking forward to our annual Fourth of July picnic-- always a good time. What are your plans for the 4th (or 2nd or 3rd)?

Bricks seem to be the cheapest option we can get our DIY-hands on and I feel this pattern is pretty do-able for novice homeowners like us.

Happy Monday!
