Deferred Maintenance – Begone!!!

We’re cleaning up some long needed “deferred maintenance” this spring. First up was replacing the front deck, which was collapsing in front of the bike house.

The old deck
New deck and bike house stained & trimmed!

After the deck was built it was time to caulk and stain the cedar siding. I’ve chosen a lovely pale blueish gray stain for the house and a deeper blue gray for trim and deck.

The faded original stain & clashing window trim
Lovely new stain looks great with window trim!
New deck & new railing with original stain
Trim stain & house stain look fabulous together!

I am SO tickled to see the colors up on the house! They look fantastic together! I admit I was a little worried because you can never be sure how the little swatches will translate on the whole wall, but I could not be happier with the end result! The rains have slowed the process but next week it will be complete!

new cafe table & chairs!
he was all rust brown an hour ago!
Little slice of heaven!
