Deck-orations

I rescued this little white table from a junk pile today. I love the way it was cut and constructed. True the back leg is warped and I have to prop it against the deck railing, but I still think it has some years left in it. I love the way it is weathered - very shabby chic. I put a rusted wire bowl, also rescued from the junk pile, a plant, and a little wooden rocking chair. I like the way it all looks together. I think I will get some oilcloth and make a runner for the table - or, maybe, I will just use some regular material. It looks nice on my deck.

    I think the whole little scene is very charming. No one will know the table is propped they'll just see how pretty it is. I'll bet it does have a few years left. My brother got a little oak table for my back porch at a garage sale for $3.00. We figured that it was a good deal if it lasted the summer, and it is on it's third summer now.

    Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Our crepe myrtles have just started, maybe ours are earlier due to the heat starting earlier here in Florida. I agree, Okperi seems a master gardener.

    I love your "deck-oration" Susan :) The table looks perfect there, and it's got a very Southwestern design to it with the way it's cut. It looks just like something you'd see in Santa Fe and Taos (and pay lots of money for, lol).
    Hugs, Joanne

    The table is gorgeous! The saying is so true...someone else's trash is another's treasure! What a great find. Jo x

    Not sure what I like best, the cool table or the killer bowl...it's a toss up!
