If you follow us on Instagram, you may have seen that this past weekend I tackled my last big outdoor project of the year: staining our new deck!

Wooden decks and concrete surfaces are often neglected and suffer from daily wear and tear. In just a few days you can update your deck or concrete!
For the past few years, we knew something major had to happen with our exterior back deck, with SO much work (most of it do-it-yourself) to do in other areas of the yard, it kept being put on the backyard. Baby didn't want to be put in the corner no more (I know, that was cheesy), so this year was the year for a makeover. And boy does she look smokin'... I think (well, actually I know) one of the hesitations of the deck was the process. Well, so I thought. Honestly, it was so much easier and more manageable than I ever thought possible. One of the major reasons for that was the use of a hand sprayer. WOW, was spraying easier than hand rolling and/or brushing. We did that last year with the exterior fence and boy did it take ALL SUMMER LONG. Please Click to Continue Reading...

Hey guys, today I thought I'd pop in to share our big ole' backyard deck and grill prep area makeover! Here's the Before below. This old deck is original to the house built in 88'. This Spring we looked at the deck boards and knew they had to go. They were old, weather beaten and splintered. So we ripped up the old boards, then we hired a friend and neighbor to lay the new boards. After that the hubby and I set out to stain this baby. Before... For this outdoor space I wanted the deck to have a sophisticated and modern look to go with our brick home. And to flow nicely with our screened porch and dark hardwoods inside the house, so we chose a dark brown solid stain. Here's the deck stain after just one application and still wet. Here's the After below all prettied up with pillows and poufs. The umbrella is from Crate & Barrel and the pouffs are older from Target. I don't have a close up of the sectional yet because I'm still searching for the perfect pillows. Ahhh, seeing all this color when I walk outside makes me smile. I don't use a lot of color inside our home as I'm more of a neutral gal. But I think it's important to have color somewhere in a home. And for us, outside is the perfect place! So the hubby and i have been talking for years about making an area just below our deck into an outdoor grill and prep area with simple gravel and metal edging. We ripped out and relocated a few of the plants, leveled the area, and then laid the edging and gravel. And here it is mostly finished below. I still need to put plants in those pots. But wow, we love this area! And my hubby found that handmade table just below the deck on craigslist for only $100. It's the perfect place to set a platter full of burgers or a drink. LOVE, LOVE! My hubby rocked this simple project below. Okay guys so that's our Diy solid stain deck makeover! As well as our outdoor grill & prepare area. We love having this outdoor space for entertaining and just hanging out with family and friends. Linking here...
