My Weekend Summarized Into Two Sentences

/ Ally Bean

√  When asked what color they stained their deck, she replied:

“It’s a color called– NOT THE ONE I PICKED OUT.”

√  While in the process of staining the deck when asked by her husband where she was going, she replied:

“I’ll be back.  I just need to change my clothes– BECAUSE I HAVE TOO MANY SPLINTERS IN MY BUTT.” 

… So how was everyone else’s weekend.  Did we have fun?

{Please Note: the deck color that you see here is a warm pearl gray instead of a light golden oak as originally planned.  Fortunately our bricks have a gray undertone in them + our siding is SW Agreeable Gray so this “NOT THE ONE I PICKED OUT” color coordinates just fine.  No harm done, really.  In fact, Z-D really likes it so maybe it was meant to be.}

    • Yes Zazzy it did. We haven’t picked out our new deck furniture so we’ll just buy a different color of furniture than I was originally planning to purchase– and all will be well. But talk about a surprise!

  6. It may have been a mistake but I think that color looks good against the greens of the grass, plants, and trees.

    Oh, and when staining a deck, if you don’t scoot around on your butt you won’t get splinters. 🙂

  7. Love the color–when it weathers, it will blend better. I find gray a very soothing color. My carpets are gray–warmed up with lots of other colors.

    • Thanks Margaret. We like the color now that it’s here. But when I first realized that the guy at Lowe’s had given us the color on the chart next to the color that we asked for I was flummoxed. Now I just think of it as a happy accident.
