Summer Deck Refresh – Part 1

As of lately, sunshine here in the Midwest has been minimal.  However; the forecast for this Memorial Day weekend looks to be somewhat pleasant, so I took advantage of the sun’s appearance today and created a simple outdoor tablescape to introduce our deck refresh.

First things first, I decided to pull out another silky piece of lingerie from a dark corner in our closet 😉  I’m a little amazed at what I am findng back there!!  This one came to mind immediately as I was cutting apart the first piece a few days ago.  I knew I had this navy beauty tucked away.  And, no…. I will not miss it 🙂

The indigo is right in style, and the perfect comliment to my outdoor tablescape.  But first the top had to go.

I used it to drape as a table runner.  The main accent color I am using in our outdoor space this season is Navy, so it provides the perfect accessory.

Our table and chairs are from Crate&Barrel.  I think we are close to 5 years with it, and they still offer it among their collections.

 

Our sectional was purchased last year, and is still available at Overstock.

I found this cheerful outdoor rug from AtHome.

Pineapple pillows are from Lowes 😉 So many people have asked already.

We re-finished the deck boards with a product by Behr called DeckOver.  This post is not affiliated with Home Depot, I am sharing, because I loved the way our deck turned out, and I want you all to know about this product.

We chose the color Pewter, and I LOVE it.  DeckOver is a concrete and wood coating.  It is very very thick, so I watered it down quite a bit.  I highly recommend this product.

Most outdoor decor shown is linked, and there are some amazing sales going on this holiday weekend, so I thought you may want to take advantage.

I am sharing a Seasonal Tablescape Q&A from the bloggers at Wayfair 🙂  Check it out, and see if you learn something new!

I will be back to share our deck at night for Part 2 😉

See you soon!!
