Ok, I tricked you! Instead of starting with the deck I just had to put in a shot of our steps up the hill again. I just really admire the craftsmanship involved in making these. You cannot believe how incredibly hard and rocky this area is. I really like how they turned out and can't wait until the wood either weathers a little or we can treat them to blend in with the hill a wee bit more.
Ok - thought I would capture all the porches and decks before they are replaced. The benches in the front will all be replaced with planters of the same height.
We have been in a quandry with what to do with this little triangle. So we are taking out those benches as well and extending the deck and will add more pots with plants and another small seating area. I want this area to be a hummingbird haven as it is right outside our dining room windows.
This deck really gets a beating from the weather and will be replaced with a Trex like product - cedar color. We also asked for a more craftsman style railing.
And now we wrap around to the back. The first bench there on the left will be a planter, but the other two benches will be replaced with sturdier ones that look like our cedar gliders that are currently on the porch front and back. I can't wait for it to be done. Not exactly sure how we will be getting in and out of the house and office when this is all ripped up :-)
