Sun’s out and you know what that means? More outdoor living. Honestly one of the best things we did was invest in quality, comfortable seating for our back deck last year. If your lucky enough to have a cottage to go to for the summer all the power to you BUT if you don’t then here’s one way you can maximize your living space.
Our back deck went from second’s and hand-me-downs to our little piece of heaven. First check out the before photo’s to see what it was. Not bad really but the chairs had seen better days, I was tired of the rug and it needed a better layout. Although Miss Piper doesn’t seem to mind lol

New furniture delivered and setup ….
First we cleared out all the old chairs, rug, table and started with a fresh slate. Added the new patio furniture. Best thing we did was invest in this sectional! It not only improves the look at the back deck but offers ample seating and most importantly lounging 🙂
Then we put our existing bench (yah it’s kinda beat up from the cats) but great to put little bums and slides out nicely for extra seating space. Also, great as a serving area when entertaining. Flowers, side tables and changed the BBQ to the other end of the deck for added space and ease of use.
