So you’ve probably heard mention of my new deck by now (in fact, I have two new decks), and I promise to share pics soon, but first I think a bit of decorating is in order. After three years in our new home, I’m so happy to have a new sitting spot out back and want to bring a rustic touch to the décor there.

Now, when I say “rustic” I’m thinking outdoorsy, Adirondack or homey wood furniture with plaid throws, old-fashioned ticking or denim pillows. While it would be nice to have an actual cabin in the woods with timber beams and a huge rock fireplace, I don’t. What I do have is a humble wooden deck that is now bare and begging for inspiration. And so it’s that inspiration I’m sharing today.
