Today I got started on my outdoor observation deck. Okay, so it's not really a deck. More of a screened in patio. Since we're renting our home, we gave up on purchasing a patio set. We shopped them quite a bit, and boy the nice ones sure are expensive. The patio isn't that big, and we don't know how long we plan to live here. So last week, when Target had some decent chairs on sale for $18 bucks, I thought perfect! We picked up two with a round cafe table to go with it. All for under $100. Now if it doesn't last long, and nowadays not much does, we won't feel horribly ripped off.
Today I bought an outdoor rug and a couple of accessories. Then I gathered up a plant and a few other things I already had. I swept off the pavers, pulled a few weeds from the cracks, and laid the rug down. They sky grew a bit grey and the trees were swaying, so I set everything up and sat, waiting for the rain. It never came. But tomorrow I'll put some finishing touches up in the morning, and hopefully there will be some inspiration: birds, rain, scuttle but in the preserve.
It'll be a perfect Sunday morning.
Here is a before photo. I'll share after when I've finished up tomorrow.
