the front porch

We are in the process of jazzing up the entry to our house, here is a before of our decking.....

Paul power washed the deck, which really made a huge difference in how it looked, but not nearly as much as the stain did!

And here is my hunny working on coat 2 of the colonial blue stain we decided to go with (I totally helped too, there is just no pictorial evidence!)

Anyway, we still have to do a coat of white on the railing to crisp it up, and then add all the fun decorator bits to make it functional and homey!
