Last week I put the finishing touches on our deck and patio area. I power washed the patio, did some landscaping, and finally got the lights re-hung from when our sons painted the pergola. I wanted to share pictures with you while everything is still lush and green.
Our old deck was 20 years old and was in serious need of being replaced. We hired a professional this time and really liked his work. Even though the design is super simple, we were happy to leave it to a professional this time around. We used a white semi-transparent stain by Behr on the pergola and table which really brightened everything up. Our sons applied it with a sprayer and let me tell you, it went everywhere, lol!
The metal chairs could use a fresh coat of paint after being outside for nearly three years, so don’t look too closely! The end chairs were a score at Target a few weeks ago. They were on clearance and the only two left. I think you can still find them online?
I’m loving this space now and most nights you’ll find me here relaxing and stargazing.
