Welcome! We have been enjoying our deck more and more everyday and today I am excited to share it with you! I am joining a group of bloggers as we share our outdoor decorating ideas for summer. We live outside in the summer. The more vitamin D the better in my opinion, and there is nothing like fresh air to make you feel good. Every year I do a little sprucing up on our deck, but the one thing that has remained is the gas fire pit table, our sectionals, and chairs. We have loved them for years! I will have shop-able links in this post so you too can purchase something you see if you like it. One new thing I did this year was to add two Japanese Maple trees {these are called Bloodgood} to some new giant pots I found at a local shop. I love the height they add as well as the color. Here is an overall view of one corner of the deck. We lounge here, eat dinner here, drink wine here, and entertain here. It really is a cozy spot to unwind. Our deck consists of a few different areas. This spot being the lounge area, then we have a dining area, another lounge area with these chairs, and then we have our hot tub in the opposite corner. In the photo below you can see how our backyard ties in. Our office sits in our backyard and we also have an outdoor kitchen. You can read about our office here and our outdoor kitchen here. When you walk up the stairs from the driveway there is an explosion of blue hydrangeas. I wish these bloomed all year round because they are so pretty! I wanted our deck to have a relaxed vacation like vibe, so I bought a few new pillows to achieve that look. I stuck with mainly one color and then added in a few contrasting ones. I didn’t want things to be too busy with a bunch of different colors and patterns and by adding these pillows in a mass, I feel like I created a really serene look. The view of the lake from this spot is truly magical. I am so glad you stopped by today to take a peek into how we decorated our deck.
