Pins On Deck!

Good morning!
It is supposed to be in the 80's today!!

I have a fun little day...

Hair appointment

Errands

Dinner date/drinks with my friends Alison & Matty

and going to see one of my bffs belly dance!
She has a solo and has been practicing so much.

I cannot wait to see her shimmy!

So here are a few pins on my mind...

Hubs and I are trying to pick out what type of decking we'd like.
We were going to do one last year, but it's a fairly expensive project.
This year we are tearing out the hot tub  
that has never worked since I've been around 4 years now
Replacing the deck boards and putting up a railing to keep pups
and future kids locked in!

I know it may sound lame to some of you, but I could not be more excited.

So of course, some pinspiration:

At night:

I love the white railing and darker deck boards

And I'm hoping my friend Jill will be able to help me pick
some beautiful plants to put around!

 I'm totally dreaming on this one...

This idea is cool too

For my birthday present {in July},
I would like a chaise lounge! 

I cannot wait to sit and sip some of these!

Do you have any recommendations for building? 

This is our first "major" project on our home. 

We've done flooring and painted walls, 

but this is a pretty big deal 

and any tips would be greatly appreciated.

 I cannot wait to have a deck party to celebrate!
