Okay, traditional not your taste. Are you looking for something modern? Will your new deck require a railing? Railings can make a deck look heavy and clunky, the same is true with built in benches if not strategically placed. If you have a low level deck that does not require a rail, clean and simple lines ( a definition of modern in my book ) is easily achievable for a established and experienced custom deck builder. If you need a railing, there are many different styles of railings that scream modern, but usually semi-custom to totally custom ( no off the shelf parts ). Custom fabricated metal stanchions / posts drilled to accept cable railing, with a wood railing cap is a popular modern, clean simple look. In my opinion, a large part in determining the style of the deck is railing design.

Oh good, glad you all like it. OK, maybe I'll just stick with the gray ribbon but thought it kind of odd with the brown piping. Abbyjean, that's folded in half. It arrived rather late in the day and I wanted to get pics before my light faded, so I didn't bother with different folds. Is half OK? It would be much easier to manage off and on each day than thirds. I'm really glad I added these two things. The bed looks MUCH more finished now. It just was not working with the gray throw.

Thank you! I went and saw everything she did and everything the person she said she was inspired by did. My husband is NOT a DIY person, but he is going to try to put up pre-made paneling from Home Depot. It's not as wide as I had wanted, but I know if it is going to happen I have to make it as easy as possible. Premade V grove paneling was only able to be found in 3" widths and widths that were way to big. I decided to go with the 3" in my small powder room. We are just turning it on its side to run the planks vertically and I am using the entire width so we don't have too much cutting to do. I'll post when we are done unless I get a chance to do so along the way. Paint - I went with Watery by Sherwin Wiliams. I love it. Husband is like "Color -Oh no! What happened to the beige?", but he will get used to it:) It's pretty
