Outdoor living
Update outdoor living spaces by creating, for example, an inviting deck retreat.
Spring is planting time and we have a
wonderful selection of:
• Cedar Hedging • Maple Trees
• Ornamental Shrubs • Windbreak Trees • Topsoil
• Crushed 1B/rick
• Wood Mulch • Peat Moss
(MS) — With the warm weather
hereb it's time to start thinking about
your outdoor living spaces. Are your
wooden deck and front porch ready
for fun in the sun? It's easy to update
both in just a few easy steps and give
yourself a whole new look for the
season.
Here are some ideas to get you
started:
• Start with a clean slate. If the
nasty winter weather has left your
deck looking less-than-presentable,
never fear: cleaning your wooden
deck is as easy as one, two, three.
Scrub with soap and water, let dry
and enjoy!
• Need a facelift? Change the
whole look of your wooden deck
with a new stain. Available in a wide
range of colours, wood stains .are
easy to apply and add a whole new
depth and dimension to any of your
outdoor living spaces.
• Update your furniture. To change
the look of your deck or front porch,
consider an easy, do-it-yourself
project. A nice Adirondack chair
would fill a corner and allow more
guest seating, while a planter box
brings fresh greenery to corners.
Check out www.spanpine.com for a
wide range of outdoor project ideas.
• Dress up your furniture. After
you drag those weatherproof seat
pads out of storage, add a bright
throw pillow to a chair or a new
vinyl tablecloth to your table for a
fresh new burst of colour.
• Let it grow, let it grow, let it
grow. Nothing personalizes your
deck or front porch like fresh green
plants and colourful flowers. Yellow
flowers help welcome the Spring,
while red blooms co-ordinate nicely
with your Canada Day decor.
Consider rotating your flowers back
and forth between the front porch
and deck for an ever-changing look.
• Decorate! After your furniture
and flowers are in place, purchase a
few inexpensive "yard art" items to
customize your look. Stained glass
flowers, tin sunbursts and old-
fashioned wall signs add tremendous
character and make your deck a
homey, fun place to hang out.
• Grill it, baby. Cooking outdoors
isn't only healthy, it creates a great
social environment. All kinds of
grills and outdoor fireplaces are
available these days; find the one
that best fits your decorating — and
cooking! — style, and go for it.
• Add space. If your deck or front
porch has become a little cramped
with furniture, plants, children's
outdoor toys and dog bones, add a
small storage box to help control the
clutter. It's also a good place to store
items during the winter.
• Rock and swing. A porch isn't a
porch without a rocking chair or a
swing. They're easy to install and if
you choose wood to match your
deck, they're a seamless accent to
your decor.
• If you don't have a deck ... build
one! But choose your building
material wisely: if you want the look
of wood, use real wood.
As you update your deck or front
porch for spring, use your creativity
when choosing decor, furniture and
flowers. "-
