Need Some Privacy?

H and I have really been enjoying our new faux fireplace and eating area on the deck.    But.....sometimes we wish it was a little more private.    The deck is right up against the fence that we share with our neighbors.   Don't get me wrong...we just love them...but....

We wanted a more private area! 

The picture on the left is the view of our neighbors yard from where we sit to eat a romantic dinner...what could we do to make it a little more attractive view?   H screwed a few 2x4's to the fence and stapled some clothes line rope to them.   I hung some sheets on the "clothes line" and we have a private area! 

Here is the view on the other side of the fireplace before H put up the clothes line.   The white sheets are easily hung for privacy....or we can leave them down for a more open look.

I made a few changes on the deck....I hung a wreath on the tree and added some dragon flies.

I have the table all set for a nice lunch....

Here is before and after pictures....

I added a chandy over the table and changed out the decor on the fireplace mantle.

Have a wonderful day!

.....til next time...
