Deck Refresh 2017

Hi, Guys,

Moss Roses

I've been working on a deck refresh. 
It was all finished and the sky opened up. 
We got 6 inches of rain in 3 or 4 days. It was crazy but we needed it.
May was unusually dry.

I replace the worn out and faded cushions and pillows every spring.
I sew everything so it is pretty affordable.

All of the fabric came from Joann's except for the fabric that looks like gears.
That came from eBay.
It's P/Kaufman Ring A Bell in Navy.


The rocker was my retirement gift from my school. 


Before it could be moved to the deck, it the signatures underneath the seat needed to be sealed. 
I used Valspar Urethane.

It's so cute and comfortable. 
It came from Cracker Barrel. 
I love that they chose a white one.

We've had blue and green out here for the last couple of years. 


The banner from my classroom coordinates perfectly.
It's been fun figuring out where those treasures fit in here at home.


I thought it looked super cute out here.


I'm trying Moss Roses out here on the deck.
They will get strong afternoon sun. Usually everything just burns up but I hope these work.






That is it for now.
I hope this inspires you to freshen up your deck.
Katie

  2. Super fun Katie!! Love the fabrics you used. I've seen those rockers at Cracker Barrell and they are so cute! Great that they signed it for you. I plant moss rose in galvanized junk containers because it can take the heat.
    Hugs,

  4. I have to say I'm a little envious that you can have a deck with such lovely things outside and not be dealing with rainstorms and morning dew on them! It looks just terrific, Katie. I love the colors and freshness of it. Bravo!
