One day I looked at the patio furniture on our deck and realized I couldn’t look at it anymore. Our neighbors on Oxbow put it out for free in 2004 and I painted it and stuck some patio cushions on it. I was done looking at it , so I finally bought this set on Wayfair. I put our old set on Facebook Marketplace for Free and it was gone within the hour. I love giving stuff away to people that want it! Hurrah!

The new patio furniture was so pretty but the deck looked dirty. Pedar and I made plans to tackle it last weekend and we did it! He rented a plate sander and was able to sand the deck in and hour and then we stained the entire thing together. It looks so much better. Not sure how long we will have this deck, I hate its multiple heights, but for now it will do. Hurrah for clean!!
