Spend your moments outside! A humble sized deck need not be humble.
Fill your deck with pots and pots of flowers. Big planters and small pots filled with continuous blooming flowers makes a humble deck abundant. Hit yard sales and friends who are ridding themselves of flower pots. Matching not required, use every size and color, eclectic. Fill with petunias, red begonias, colorful Moss rose and my favorite, Geraniums! Grow a lemon tree in a pot! Bring out house plants to summer in nature. Add a small table with chairs for dining, pillows for comfort. Use pillows you have, old and faded looks romantic on the deck! Fancy deck furniture not required, use what you have. Place found decorations, look around the house and choose little things to place on the deck, a candle, a small bowl of seashells, placemats from the Dollar Store ( more about Dollar store finds later!) Bring out a small radio- all the better if it plays a cd or your music player-play Caribbean or salsa music- softly in the background, play ocean waves, unless you have the real thing- than just listen to the rhythm of the waves! Or let nature serenade you, hang wind chimes to tinkle lightly in the air, adding to the feeling of pleasure. Fill it up! Out here, more is better!!
