8 Creative Ways to Use Brick Pavers

Have leftover brick pavers you aren’t sure what to do with? Discover 8 creative ways to use brick pavers around your home.

When we bought the French Country Cottage fixer-upper a couple of years ago, one of the design elements that I wanted to try my hand at was a reclaimed mortar-washed brick floor.

So I started scouring FB marketplace for brick and found 2 skids of reclaimed brick that had been the walkway at a local greenhouse.

It was delivered to us (more like dumped) in the middle of winter, and we stacked them brick by brick back onto the skids.

Not only did we finish the mortar-washed brick floor (in 2 rooms), but we have been able to do tons of other projects with the leftover brick.

If you have leftover brick sitting around that you’re not sure what to do with, then use these 8 creative ways to use leftover brick pavers.
