It took us 2 years to built ours and since our yard is quite large we wrapped our side deck and back yard deck altogether....I regret using pressure treated wood for our back deck b/c it gives you splinters...my nephews complains about it all the time! For our side deck we used composite (which is great and it doesn't fade). We actually just cleaned the side deck yesterday with a pressure washer and everything came right off. We also bought patio heaters (www.eieihome.com/blog/let-s-talk-patio-heaters.html) dont quite sure how you feel about posting links but these babies are awesome for cool summer nights, hanging out on the deck with family and friends....although it's a bit pricey but personally i think its quite worth it :)

Thanks Melanie!

We bought the table and chair set at Canadian Tire!!!

Good luck with your chair shopping and I hope you find something that you like. :)

Thank you SO MUCH! What a nice compliment that you...

Thank you SO MUCH! What a nice compliment that you love my dorky site. :)

Glad to hear your set didn't rust, especially since you paid so much money for it.

We hope ours holds up over the winter, too. The good thing about it being so cheap is that if it doesn't last we can always replace it in a few years. Hopefully we don't have to though!

To answer your questions about the deck, yes we built the deck ourselves with the help of a few willing family members. :) I designed it and hubby built it. Although he did not see the need for a lower deck, I made him add one anyway. Haha.

Yes, the wood is pressure-treated. It's just faded quite a bit from the sun.

Thanks Elizabeth!

Best birthday present ever 'cause you get to use it all.the.time.

I hope you get what you're asking for this year...... :)

Thanks so much! I will pass along your message to Alex and it will make his day.

Don't be too jealous though.... I had to wait YEARS before I had a deck and then even more years to have a table.

You'll have yours soon enough.

:)

Thanks Nancy!!

You are welcome to come and chill on the back deck whenever you like. As long as you don't look over the railing to see the crusty lawn.

Haha. :)

If only my "blog friends" lived closer.... sigh..... :)

Thanks so much Hilary!

Thank you so much. It's coming together but sooooo much still left to do.

Baby steps though, right?

Thanks Jenny! It's nowhere near my dream deck yet, but it's a start.

I've been following along on your outdoor space, too. I'm so sad that Joss and Main doesn't ship to Canada though. Booooo.

:)

Love your new patio set! We've been looking for some nicer chairs for to go with our glass-topped patio table but no luck. Either they're too cheap-looking and seem like they'll fall apart after one season, or else they're ridiculously expensive. May I ask where you found yours?

Thanks Tonya! I'll be checking out all of your...

this is my first time visiting your blog and i really love it! Great find for the patio set, we bought our cast iron set for $2000 and it was already discounted, the good thing about our set is, it definitely does NOT rust (we left it out with a tarp over during our Canadian winter) but we store away our chairs....just in case. Really like your deck as well...was it built by yourself or did you hire someone to do it....and its pressure treated wood right?

I love it - that's exactly what I've asked for for my birthday as well. lol. You deck looks amazing - it is ready for a party!!

Ahh so jealous! I want a patio or deck in our backyard so badly. Our patio set is sinking into the ground as we speak and the grass under the table is dead and just a mess lol. Your deck looks awesome and kudos to your hubby for doing such a great job!

Our outdoor porch/deck is making great strides this year! It feels good to see progress outside too, doesn't it? Scored a great deal on outdoor furniture from Joss & Main. Love that site!

Your deck looks party ready!! Well done!
