Simply Stunning New Deck

Decor & DIY· Decorating Ideas· Room Makeovers

I teased you a few days ago with a little peekaboo at my friend, Nancy’s new deck.
The previous deck was wonderful, but it was starting to show it’s age and there were features that Nancy and her hubby just weren’t crazy about anymore.
 
Nancy designed the deck herself after doing lots on online research and pulling all of her favorite components together.  She then put her design into the very capable hands of a local company who made her vision come to life!

As you look around, pay attention to all of the architectural details.  

The deck contains two pergolas and looks out over a golfcourse.

The space between the pergolas was specially designed to accommodate the existing Japanese Maple tree.

Stepping out of the house through the french doors, the pergola to the right contains a lovely, shady dining area.

Here’s a peek of the tablescape that Nancy set up in preparation for a dinner party that she was hosting.  Click HERE to see the entire table.

 A lounging area is located in the pergola on the left.  Perfect for wiling away a quiet afternoon or evening.
 
 

Could I take a nap here?  Only if you twist my arm!  😉

Nancy is the vignette queen.  One of these days, I’m going to put together a post showing some of the many beautiful vignettes on the interior of her home.

Take a closer look at the vignette residing on the coffee table.

Light wrapped branches reside in a pretty basket in one corner…

…and this to-die-for birdcage resides in another.

 My photo doesn’t do it justice.

A cookout area, outfitted with a granite topped custom work station fits nicely between the two pergolas.

Nancy’s special touches are everywhere!

The rock chimney is dressed with a bountiful hanging basket.

Steps lead down to a flagstone patio.  This is where the fishy tablescape is set up.

The patio area can also be accessed from the driveway.

So tell me, if you were a golfer would you stop and pause in the shade of Nancy’s lovely yard?

And listen to the cooling sound of sprinkling water?

 

I bet she’d offer you a cool glass of lemonade!

Here are a few before and after’s just for fun.

    Oh, I am so jealous of that wonderful outside area. Her before even looks better than what we have. I hope someday we can have something done to ours. Hubby just doesn’t get it because he doesn’t ever use the deck. Ours gets way too hot in mid summer. I love the dark flooring they used on this one.

    This is a stunning new deck. I love alw the work they did it is just beautiful. What a great use of space and I am sure they will get a lot of use out of the deck.

    Haha. My hubby just walked by so I had to show him this. We are still about ten years away from retirement but we are thinking about what next and looking at places for a winter home. He and I drooled over this and he said see, that’s what you can have if we move south. I’m packing my bags. 😀
    Love this. Absolutely gorgeous.

    Now that is what I call a deck! I’d love to be sharing it too – not at a linky party, but with a cocktail in my hand =) I love that they made the effort to save the maple! Just too many people cut down existing natural structures to accommodate gianormous things, but with them, the new deck looks so much prettier!
