Back Deck Clean Up

I have finally finished the front steps to my house and the smaller back deck (lower, larger decks and steps to go!). It looks so much better when I look out my slider now... no more black & green wood....in fact, the wood looks brand new. I wish, however, that I had never painted the railings white- it's an annual event every spring to give them a fresh coat. Guess I'll have to get around to that next! The pictures were taken at dusk so they may appear a little darker than it actually is..but still better than what it was!

This is the overall look...I still need to fill in with plants and some more containers, but it's coming along.

This is a fountain I bought years ago that unfortunately cracked last winter. I used contact cement to hold it together, and now she makes a lovely (albeit worn!) planter.

This is a wall-mounted fountain I bought years ago that DOES work. I love the sound of the water in the afternoon when the slider is open. Very peaceful...and the kids like it too!

And this is the start to my herb garden...

Hope you all have a "rosey" day!
