Light Love

Last summer (left photo). This summer (right photo).
Can you spot the difference? Other then the fact that Kate grew...

The new light (from Lowe's) was my birthday present. I'm happy to say that our deck is officially finished.
Onto the next project...

Summer ♥

Deck Love

It wasn't until the end of last summer that we finished our deck so unfortunately it didn't get the use it deserved. We're off to a good start this summer. The planters are loaded with flowers and herbs (out of reach from, we'll eat anything, William and Kate) and the fabulous flexfence shutters are doing what they do best - giving us lots of privacy (when needed). It's our own little NYC rooftop oasis (someone said that at dinner last night:)

Hard to believe it used to look like this.

More room with the view

William and Kate are enjoying the new deck as much as we are now that there's more room for bird watching.
Note to self: change up that utility looking light fixture for a prettier one (it's never ending).

This is our new room with a view (or not) thanks to Flexfence shutters:)

The Deck was our big summer project and I'm glad to say that it's finally done!
It took a bit longer (even with so many helping hands*) then we'd thought and was a little more complicated then we'd expected but like most diy projects it was well worth the blood, sweat and tears.
I'm especially enjoying the privacy walls. The shutters are from Flexfence and were the perfect privacy wall solution for us. I like them shut. Marathon Man likes them open. Every one's happy.
Our morning coffee/quiet time just got that much better:)

*Many thanks to Handy Man Dad, and our 2 favourite neighbours.

Next summer it's all about landscaping...
