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...

looking outdoors from inside

One corner of the deck is covered with a gazebo...

Table and chair set under the gazebo

Fabric shower curtains pull closed to keep out the rain...

Outdoor furniture, rug and coffee table.

The cubbie table has found it's way out on the deck...

Almost everything out here has been found, up-cycled
 or re-purposed...

Crate with lantern terrarium on top

Many old treasures furnish this space...
crates, tubs, baskets, repainted lanterns, pots and shutters. 

Galvanized tub filled with plants

This rusty funnel is a great place for another layer of plants...

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...

Shutters with pots and yellow flowers

Everything out here is just beginning to come alive...

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!
