THIS was my deck in April...NOT awful But not FAB....I KNEW I could turn ho hum to TA-DA with a lil paint....
TA-DA!!
MY table started out a lil pitiful....I had painted some cabinet doors on top (that's the grey lines you see) the original green of the table was showing through in some spots...SO I took cereal boxes and wedged them between the table and the supports (so no paint would drip on the deck)
Since I used latex paint (which is a B*tch to clean up) I used a plastic salad container - reduce, re-use and then re-cycle!!
Here you see the bench also received a coat of paint but the chair seats are empty (which I caught flack for from my parents....I had all the stuff to cover them I was just dragging my feet - which was SO ridiculous because it took less than an hour!!)
Original Chair Cushions (I needed then to be waterproof on the cheap)
I removed the pattern covering seen above
Laid out my waterproof "fabric" (can you guess what it is?!?!)
Don't they look ADORBS with my grill?!?!
I used that to keep the grill brush handy!!!
Summertime and the living is easy on my lil plot of paradise....
Come on up and sit a spell.....
View from the backyard....
Just planted this planter 2 weeks ago, a few more weeks and it will be lush, gorgeous and useful (I planted dill seed in the back for a tall texture and a useful plant)
I planted this baby back in the end of May....
And here it is NOW....it's filled in...I added the pot above it (which contains cilantro and basil I planted from seed - YUM to fresh pico de gallo and tomato basil salad)
Albeit my deck is small BUT it has everything I need for entertaining or relaxing! I know the deck has seen better days BUT I'm waiting on my landlord to get that taken care of....
