Before and After Deck Pergola

Our house was a new build, and so it didn't have a deck in the back yard. We didn't even have stairs to walk out the patio door! This is what it looked like before:



I love Japanese influenced outdoor design. I fell like its intricate and modern without being too fussy. I also really wanted a pergola that I cold hang lanterns from for different holidays.  










I adore my deck and the fact that I can entertain a lot of people on it.

    Your deck looks amazing! The sunburst sides add so much interest. We're hoping to add a larger outdoor space to our backyard sometime in the next year, and we may DIY too. The lanterns are so cute!

    Very beautiful and inviting! I am sure late nights out on this deck are a great way to unwind at night!

    I think a dark color would look nice. A mahogany color. Or maybe match the fence?

    Looks awesome! I love the sunbursts on the wall.
