DECK UPDATE

Just a quick update on our deck.  Remember our pretty beat up deck..

After 1 coat of stain...

I am proud to say that I did this all by myself!{husband was out of town}   

A second coat is recommended for durability.  I like the shade I picked out but not loving it{hate when that happens!}  I might have to use a darker, less orangey stain for the next coat.  What do you think?

I'll share a step-by-step how to once done.

NEXT DIY: STAINING THE DECK

I have been dreading this project.  I don't have any experience staining and the amount of preparation is overwhelming (not to mention the size of it!).   Whine.

It is the perfect weekend to do it so I have no excuse now.

Have you done this before?  Do you have any tips for me?

Here's hoping for a productive weekend!
