I love sitting on our deck in the morning when it’s a bit cooler. It’s a great place to sit and have my coffee and morning devotions. We’ve been in our house for 7 years now and this deck space was one of the first outdoor spaces I put together and decorated since the backyard still needed a lot of attention to make it a haven for us. I added the sofa out there, along with my other faux wicker pieces I’ve had for many years and I got a table and chair set from Wayfair that was also brown wicker that lasted about 6 years before it started to really show its age. The hot weather started getting to it and it really needed to go inside before it completely fell apart, so I passed it on to one of Mark’s daughters since she has a screened porch and she’s enjoying it now. I was in the market for a new and somewhat smaller table and chairs and I found the perfect ones at Walmart. Come along for the refreshed deck tour!

The new table and chairs are a bit smaller than the other set I had, so it fits out here even better.
I’m an outdoor girl and can stay outside all day as long as I’m in the shade. I start here in the morning and then move below to the pool deck in the afternoon. We sure enjoy our outdoor spaces and are so thankful for them!
I love this table and chairs from Walmart. I did a little browsing online until I found just what I was looking for, but they don’t come as a set. I put them together myself and they work so well together. You can find them here. I bought 2 sets of the bistro chairs. The table is metal and is part of the Better Homes & Gardens collection, which I’ve found to be good quality and value.
Set of 2 Drew Blue & White Bistro Chairs
I love these bistro chairs and had long wanted a set. These are metal legs and faux wicker seats and backs. They come in a box and I fastened them together myself, it was very easy.
What I really love is mixing up the tones out here and adding in the new color and texture. Now it’s not all brown furniture.
We’re so glad that Mark rebuilt this deck last fall and added the new black spindles. I stained the deck in a semi-transparent stain and it looks so good now. You can see that entire project in the link above.
Another addition to the deck this summer is this table umbrella holder. I had a free standing umbrella stand that sat flat on the deck and it always had moisture under it when it rained so it wasn’t good for the deck floor. I started researching umbrella tables instead and found this nice Hanover Traditions table (from Amazon) that holds an umbrella. I had to put it together too and did it myself.
It’s perfect as a side table and I prop my feet on it too. This is such a great spot for morning coffee!
At night with the party lights on, it takes on a whole new ambience.
We so enjoy our backyard and summer is a lot more bearable with the pool and outdoor seating.
Sometimes it just too hot to be outside at all, but when it’s not this is where you’ll find me most days into the evening hours.
I adore my new table and chairs and hope they last for a long time too.
Outdoor living is such a fun part of summer and I love being out there.
Watching the sun go down is extra special too when we have skies like this! Thanks for letting me share my new finds with you, I hope this gives you ideas for your own outdoor spaces.
