Deck and alfresco area makeover

Deck and alfresco area makeover

I decided to update my alfresco and decking area last week.
I bought the Marquee Harbour outdoor loveseats, Calbots decking paint, Marquee bar chairs, Stick Wall panels and plants from Bunnings. 

I converted my red brick and merbu decking to cooler grey tones and a relaxed atmosphere. 
Love my semi-finished alfresco.

Re: Alfresco Makeover

Hello @NickiM

 

What an amazing transformation from a traditional red brick-coloured alfresco to a relaxing cool grey look. Changing the wall colours really brought it all together. Had you left it with a red brick finish its colour would have been overpowering. The addition of the patterned grey rug provides a nice contrast to the cool grey finish. How long did the revamp take overall?

 

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful alfresco makeover.

Re: Alfresco Makeover

Thanks @EricL 

Overall, it took 5 days doing it by myself. The cleaning and repainting of the deck was easy, along with repainting the ceiling. Putting the Harbour furniture together was simple too. The wall panels however took the longest, as each piece was measured and cut with a Stanley knife (wish I had a tile cutter or small hand-held electric rotary saw)
