While perusing the Walmart auto section, I saw these $15 for the pair) and thought what a perfect and inexpensive solution to adding more patio space to either the big Dream Home or the 1982 Country Cottage:
They are very well made (to withstand thousands of pounds of pressure) and are a great color match as well. I didn't buy them since I already have patio triangles as well as 3 extra patio pieces for different configurations, but if I didn't I would have. The only consideration is the carrying handles, which could be cut off with a dremmel tool cutting attachment , or better yet covered with a small rug, yellow paper or mini plants. =-)
Alternately, I just saw some on feebay (2023) for $375, OR... you can drive an hour or two and get an entirely original house with those rare patio triangle pieces it came with 45 years ago for under 100 bucks, just search your local Facebook marketplace:

| Target: lid from an $11 storage box. Would make a great custom patio centered off the tall narrow glass doors, or a free standing one in the back yard for the BBQ grill and furniture set, perhaps even a parking pad for the '78 'Vette? |
I just got mine, and though I already have plenty of extra patio pieces for my house, if I did not, this would be a steal of a deal, I think every house should have at least 3 or more of these excellent replacement patio pieces, you could even cut them in half with a Dremmel tool to get the coveted, rare and expensive triangular shape patio pieces. RUN don't walk to Ebay and get yours today!
These will definitely need an afternoon soak in piping hot, very soapy bath water before attempting to scrub clean with a soft bristle tooth brush and sponge. get all the water off you can, using Q tips in the crevices, stand up vertically against the bathroom wall on a large bath towel so they can finish draining off, let sit for a few hours to completely dry, THEN they are ready to polish or paint. 
Of course you can always skip the yellow floors and do something custom:
