This is our deck... empty and sad until a few weeks ago. The previous owners left us a couple of potted bushes. Very nice of them! One is a lilac which is looking very lush and green now. I'm still not sure what the other one is. It looks like a mini tree of some sort and is just starting to sport some tiny little buds. I scored a bistro set on craigslist for $50 and we bought a few early spring flowers for our patio pot. It's amazing how much a little color will brighten up an outdoor space. I am still searching for the perfect window boxes to line the railings with, which will be filled with flowers and herbs.

Lilac buds!

(Chloe wanted her picture taken too!)
We also purchased a BBQ for the space and are looking forward to many meals outside this spring and summer. It's going to be our awesome little city oasis!
Looks great!
ReplyDeleteAny thoughts on outdoor "mood" lighting sconces or the like???
I really would like to put some lighting out there... but I'm not sure how to do it yet. I need to research it a little more. There is a light out there, but it doesn't really create a mood :)
