Sprucing Up The Deck

We have had warm temperatures here and it is time to spruce up the deck a little!

Spring is in the air and we are ready for it!

It's great to be outdoors!  

I started by sweeping up and setting out our indoor-outdoor rug.

I recently received two Sol 72 Outdoor Colworth Plastic Adirondack Chairs 

from Wayfair's Patio Furniture Section!

They arrived with the main sections already assembled, and we put the chairs together with easy assembly.  You can do it with one person, 

but it's easier with a second person to hold things.

Sophie, the pug, was no help...just moral support.

These are really nice chairs!  Over the years we have had many cheap plastic Adirondack chairs, that rarely make it through a season.  These are SO different. Each chair is made in North America (these were made in Canada) with 27,000 recycled plastic bottlecaps! They require no maintenance, painting, or staining...completely weather resistant and have a UV stabilizer to keep the color fresh.  These are made in the Onyx color...six colors are available.  Each chair holds 500 pounds, and as each weighs 52 pounds, they aren't bothered by wind. 

You can see the thickness of the material...

They are quite comfortable...

Next I started to set up a little seating area! 

I used a little vintage garden bench as a table.

A couple of chair pads I already had, added some bright color!

Some old birdhouses are fun...

I filled the planter with a potted floral arrangement of johnny jump up violas and sweet alyssum...and added a faux forsythia spray!

This pretty Breakwater Bay Diep Dolomite Statue Planter is from Wayfair, too!  We love watching the migrating pelicans in the lakes here.  I filled it with a Buttercup Primula, but I think for summer I'll fill it with a red geranium and flags!

We love how the chair arms are wide enough to hold a drink, a book, or a plate!

Seems like Sophie is claiming this chair...

We are loving relaxing on the deck!

  I set the chairs up this way for photos, but we reversed the position afterwards on the opposite side of the deck, so we could watch the boats and ducks go by!

Until next time...
