Decking out the Deck and Porch

The deck on our home is really small.

Last year we had our table on it which took up a lot of room.  This Spring we built a new patio.  I will be sharing that with you later this week.

Now the deck can just be a sitting area where I can hang out and enjoy my plants.

I bought these chairs at an outlet for $15 each when we first moved in.  They were not chippy like this.  I left them out, by mistake last winter and this is what I got.  LOVE it!

Pansies and Primroses usually have stopped blooming by now.  It’s been cool so they are still performing.

A good place to display some of my vintage finds.

I love to plant unusual containers.  Sedums do well in metal because they can stand the heat.

My little chick-a-dee use to hang out on the front porch.  Now she’s made it around back to the deck.

a bit of my watering can collection.  I collect old and new.  I have a couple of old ones that I’ve planted on my patio. An old tea pot planted with more sedums.

This bench use to be at my table.  I have new chairs so I left it on the deck.  Needs a few more pillows.  Maybe a new color, I’m not sure.

I have blogged about my front porch before so I am just going to show a couple of pics.

This is what it looked like this Spring.

This is what it looks like now.

Gotta say, in the famous words of my mother-in-law.  “Give me a space and I’ll fill it up”.

Can’t help it, what can I say, I just love to decorate!
