Before: Our Deck in April 2014 |
It was love at first sight. The moment I set eyes on my deck I knew it was the one; the one place where I would spend all my leisure time every Spring, Summer and Fall. Yes, I had big plans for us: tea in the morning, reading in the afternoon, wine in the evening, holiday parties and weekend cookouts... this deck and I were going to have some fabulous times together!
Unfortunately, not many of these plans came to fruition. I did enjoy my deck when I had the time but that was an all too rare occurrence.
So this year I decided I was going to make the time so my deck and I could reach the potential I saw for us at the start. Of course that meant a bit of a makeover was in order. Not much was needed to turn this space into my dream oasis, just some color, pattern, light and a few accessories. And now I'm happy to report that my deck and I have been spending lots of quality time together.
Here's some photos of my newly decked out deck:
