How to Decorate a Deck and Secret Garden
Off my kitchen are 2 sliding doors that lead out to the deck,
my favorite room in the house...
my favorite room in the house...
One corner of the deck is covered with a gazebo...
Fabric shower curtains pull closed to keep out the rain...
Almost everything out here has been found, up-cycled
or re-purposed...
or re-purposed...
Many old treasures furnish this space...
crates, tubs, baskets, repainted lanterns, pots and shutters.
This rusty funnel is a great place for another layer of plants...
An old gate adds interest to the side of the house...
This potting bench is one of my favorite pieces...

Beyond the deck is a secret little garden and shed...
Old shutters from a neighbor's garage
changed the look of the pallet table, one of my earlier creations...

Everything out here is just beginning to come alive...
Lettuce is coming up in the window greenhouse...
The base of an old bird bath turned upside down
in the dirt makes a great planter...
a winding pebble path encircles the plants...
I love warm weather living!

I'll bet it's nice and cool under there in the Summer, too, Susan. A great place to sit and enjoy some wine before dinner or some iced tea in the afternoon - ahhhh. : ) Your gardens are looking wonderful. Such a nice view you have to look at while on your deck.
ReplyDeleteYour deck is just lovely and so inviting! Love your garden, too and the shower curtain idea. :)
ReplyDeleteLove all of the touches you have added to your garden! The repurposed items are perfect! Now I am ready for warm weather in my neck of the woods! Here in Colorado we are still a bit behind, so I loved seeing your plants erupting. Happy Spring!

So Beautiful Susan! Love all your repurposed items. Your gardens are Beautiful. Have a wonderful Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great space!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous. I know you must enjoy every minute!
ReplyDeleteWow Susan! Love your outdoor spaces and details!!! The tub with the funnel...brilliant! You've inspired me to get to work with some things we have just laying around!! I'll let you know when I get to them! Won't be until after this next wedding, though!!
ReplyDeleteSo delighted for your daughter and her hubby!! Where did they go for their honeymoon? One daughter went to the Smoky Mountains, and the other is headed to the pacific NW~~ Seattle and Oregon.
Hope you have a lovely week!
Thank you for the inspiration!!
Hugs,
Becky

Such a fantastic and cosy space under that gazebo. All of your treasures found and made really make the garden special.
ReplyDeleteI'll take a glass of whatever your having, please. :)
I can certainly see why it's your favorite spot.

Ohhhhh, I love your space. What an awesome idea with the Gazebo!!
ReplyDeleteLove your outdoor room. I've often thought about doing this but I had one question. Since the canopy slants toward your doors, do you have trouble with rain running off into your door? Do you have a trick? EnJOYed all the repurposing ideas.
ReplyDeleteI'll be there shortly with some Cabernet in hand! Love the deck and that secret garden is just so wonderful!
