Hey Tania! I thought about using a pole for edging but I just wasn’t confident I could do it. I feel like the pole would have too much bounce and I wouldn’t get a good edge. I’ll share the post next week, I promise. I was so torn on black or white for the chairs. I love our white chairs now, but I think I was just ready for a change. I went black, and I hope they won’t be too hot. I thought they might do a better job of covering up staining overtime from leaves, or bird crap but who knows!?. You’ll love your white ones!

Hey Cassie! I’m going to spend my afternoon writing up a post all about our fence, I still get lots of questions every season, and I wanted to give a refresh to those who are knew or found me because of THE FENCE! I was going to also include the history of my staining process – and good news for you, I don’t think I ever got a splinter. I’ll check out DesignMom, I’ve never been a reader of hers, but I’d like to see other peoples POV on the matter. Thank you for letting me know that you enjoy what I put out there, and welcome back to the Twin Cities, we’re happy to to have ya! I refuse to look out my windows today.

Great! This is good to know that you’re interested. I’ll post about it soon, I promise. It’s still scary, but how I did it makes it seem more secure, just don’t look down.
