mmymoonDeck didn't happen today; hopefully the workmen will show up tomorrow.
... we still need to finalize the paint color. There's an existing porch that has been painted yicky brown and is peeling, and a long ramp (yay, my house is accessible!) that was never finished with either paint or stain. We'll be adding a proper deck section, and then, I guess, painting the whole thing.
My house is white with ugly brown trim and roof, although I'm hoping to eventually change both of those. (I'm gonna PAINT THE ROOF WHITE. Naysayers be damned; there is such a thing as asphalt shingle roof paint, and it's way the snot more energy efficient that way. If it makes the shingle look ugly in five years, FINE; I HATE THE SHINGLE.)
"
It looks like this, only without gardening bins blown all over the yard, and lots more flowers and shrubs and stuff now. The new deck is going in that big open area under the windows. I WANT ALL THE BROWN TO GO AWAY.
Everyone has different opinions about the color scheme of the deck. I wouldn't mind staining it, either, but I just want it all to match -- I don't want the older sections to look, well, old and ratty. I would personally be fine with white paint (or whitewash) and marine varnish. Everyone else is complaining that a white deck would look dirty too quickly, but it would also be nice and cool and pretty to the touch! You can always WASH things.
I'd say just to paint the base hot pink and the rails white, but uh, I think my aunt might have a heart attack. It'd be cute, though!
Anyone have any wooden thoughts to share with me?
