Enjoying the Deck

 

IMG_0572

 

Since having the new deck completed our family has basically lived on it. We were hoping to hold off on getting new furniture till later in the year but because of how much the children wanted to be on it sitting on the ground wasn’t very comfortable. Our old furniture leaked rust out of the legs and we didn’t feel comfortable having that on our new deck so we now keep it in the backyard as our downstairs table and chairs. I have been looking for the perfect set ever since we decided that the old set wouldn’t be coming back upstairs. We decided that we wanted something more relaxing for the patio because we found we were never eating outside with our dinning room table directly beside the deck. Then I found this set both Sean and I loved it and it’s the cheapest out of all the sets I have looked at. My favourite part is the colour I know it’s a little out there but we love it :) My mother-in-law didn’t personally like the colour but we do. It so far has been exactly what we were looking for something relaxing that also didn’t feel like it overcrowded the space. I love to take my book and sit on the loveseat while the kids play.

This is my view from my kitchen window. It’s so great how I can finally get some stuff done in the kitchen while the kids can play outside.

New Deck

At the end of summer last year Sean was going down the deck stairs and went through one of them (he didn’t fall or anything). So we knew we were going to be re-doing the stairs when spring came. We had a plan when we moved in to re-do the deck but the plan was for about 5 years down the road. After I realized we had to do the stairs earlier I had been thinking about it all winter and decided that we would just go ahead and get a new deck too. The reason is because I didn’t want to fix the steps only the be torn down in a couple of years because we were planning on expanding the deck. It’s no completely done in the summer Sean and I will be painting all the wood white I think. Not fully decided on that yet.

Olympics part 2

On Saturday Sean and I made a last minute decision to pack the kids up and head to Vancouver for Sunday to participate in more Olympic fun. It was such a beautiful weekend and we only had laundry planned for the day anyways.
