Wow, What a Deck!

Bring the Inside Out

Fine-tuning your patio for a lovely evening requires little effort and zero money. Gather accessories (such as lamps, bowls, throw rugs, and pillows) from inside your home, and use them to decorate.

And, no matter the occasion, candles make every party brighter. Consider using the structure of your deck for display; in this case, the large, wooden beams at the end were the perfect spots for displaying candles.

Hint: Place fishbowls with live goldfish in them around your outdoor party room. Friends will love the look, and the display couldn't be easier.
