We have been meaning to pressure wash and restain our back deck for a couple years now but just never got around to it. Finally we bit the bullet and just did it, and boy did it turn our better than I expected.
First Jason pressure washed everything!
So clean with all the junk removed and it all washed.
Then we all pitched in and painted. It was tough work (I was nursing a swollen arm from a bee sting and a broken toe) in the hot sun but it needed to be done and even the boys helped out.
We have been looking at new tables for the back deck for a couple years but have been unable to find anything that we really like that we can stomach paying for. I really didn't want to bring the old glass table back onto the deck - we rarely use it for anything anymore and it really didn't look all that nice anymore. But Jason power washed it and made it look better.
And then I got the idea to just get an outdoor table cloth to hide the yucky glass top. Now I'm wondering why I didn't think of that before???
I found just the right one and I LOVE the way it looks with the new color of the back deck.
But it still didn't feel complete.
Then I got another brilliant idea to add some outdoor pillows to the bench.
And now I'm in love with my back deck again and can envision sitting out here with a glass of wine or cup of coffee (when the heat of the day is not upon us).
Finding the right pillows helped, although I think I may want a couple more.
Of course, since I'm outside I need to walk around and take some photos of what's in bloom right now. I'm so happy we redid this front part of our yard. So much prettier to have these flowers than the ugly shrubs we had before.
Look how tall the sunflowers are getting? They should be blooming in a couple of weeks!!
And the backyard always looks so bright and vivid and alive this time of year!
And now I have the perfect place to sit and enjoy it from.
