Hi Gail! I’ll be featuring your benches today! Stop by and grab a featured button if you like. Thanks again for joining the Sunday Showcase Party! ~ Stephanie Lynn
Now that is a project! I simply adore the new benches – love them! Genius idea! Thanks so much for linking to the Sunday Showcase party! I greatly appreciate it! Hope you are having a fabulous week! ~ Stephanie Lynn
Great deck, but I love the benches the most! I’m wondering what you are going to make with the trellis’ that were at the bottom of the deck now!
Wow – what a big project! The new deck looks great. And very cool that you reused the wood and made those awesome benches! That was genius!
Thanks for linking up!
XOXO

P.S. You’ve inspired me with the re-used wood! I have been wondering what we were going to do with the wood from our old deck… HMMmmmm…
P.S.S. It’s awful that someone put down indoor-outdoor carpet over unfinished, untreated wood. Horrors!
HOLY COW! I can’t believe those guys got it done in *a day*!!!!! We’ve (that means “my husband” 😉 ) has been working on our deck for months!
I LOVE the pictures of all the thinking! LOL 😀
Hi, Gail
Looks like ya’ll had a lot of work to do,,I’m not much of a gardener either. Her new deck is really nice and just in time for summer cookouts and fun times. When I saw that pile of blue lumber I just knew you made something with it.. Your table and benches look great. Cant wait for you to show us how you did it.
I’m off to lunch.. have a good one.
This was a whole lot of work but such a huge improvement and this is a space you will really use not to mention improve your home’s resale value. Love that you repurposed the old wood.
Pam
Good job! I really like that you repurposed the old lumber.
Gail, I love the benches and table! I hope you get back soon to bring lots of that wood back with you. What a great birthday present that was to Jamie, everyone banding together like that to fix up her deck. She has great friends, and a great momma too! 😉
Looks like a fun time had by all…and the deck looks great– love the benches and table you made.
I knew that pile of blue colored wood would NOT sit there long before it BECAME SOMETHING! Those guys weren’t the only ones standing around ‘thinking’…
nice story- and a nice way to spend the holiday -with your daughter!
That turned out GRETA!! Wonderful place for summer times.
thanks for tips about syrup too.
some hard to imagine working.

The deck looks amazing! And so do the benches and table, love the color!
What a great gift you gave your daughter! The gift of your time and talent! I really love how you repurposed the old deck wood. I am impressed! The color is wonderful! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hope your daughter wasn’t one of the flood victims.
All of their thinking paid off, because the deck looks awesome! When you showed the picture of the pile of blue lumber…I so hoped you would make something with the pieces!! you did awesome…I love the benches and the color is perfect!

The deck looks great! I love the benches, the blue color is awesome!
Oh, that is too funny! When I saw the pile of scrap lumber I was wondering (hoping) if you would scoop some up. The table and seating are perfect. The renovation looks great. Admirable that you all pressed on even in the heat. What a great birthday gift for you daughter!
Midge
What a great transformation! It looks great!
Ps. yes, that blue wood is nice for making the furniture!
ohhhhh, could you send those guys to my daughter’s home up in Durham, NC? She has a deck that badly needs replacing.When she bought the house 2 years ago the inspector people said it was unsafe! The problem is, her house is on the side of a hill. The deck is about 8 feet up!! Eventually they will replace it I guess, but they need their money for other things right now. Nice to have friends like that !
Okay. So the deck before, Oh.My.
The after is fantastic and I ADORE the benches and table that you built. Seriously. I’m such a sap. It actually brought tears to my eyes. I’m a total weirdo. 😉
Happy belated to Jamie!!!
Bravo on the deck!
The deck looks great. It’s always nice to have friends willing to help with a big project. The blue benches are almost the same color as our deck. I love that color. Bring your nail gun next time you come towards Indy and I’ll put you to work here. ;
I love the way you repurposed the bench and the table. It matches the house great! nice job.

we need to post some photos of the inside of my house so people don’t think i live in squalor. haha. 🙂
love you! thanks for posting all these photos! and for all your hard work!!
Is it just wrong that my favorite part of the post is the benches in that gorgeous blue board? They are just perfect! Makes you want to sit on them, pronto-like! 🙂
wow! it looks awesome! and you did an amazing job on those tables, too and i also really love that lumber! gorgeous! and i think it speaks volumes of the kind of girl you raised your daughter to be that she has that many helpful friends. she must be a good and true friend to them, as well. so good work on the tables and being an excellent mom!

Wow. That’s a lot of work! The new deck looks great and I love the bench and tables… perfect touch! I’m sure those awesome friends will spend many more hours enjoying the deck than it took to make it. What fun!
We love your daughter! She is a blessing to everyone around her. You did an incredible job raising her.
What sweet friends your daughter has… it looks gorgeous… I am sure she is thrilled… and Mamma comes through again with awesome benches and tables… great job everyone… and nice to know she know has a safe place to relax.
Hugs, Deb
