In January, I spent a sunset with Chris and Nancy Steiner, sitting on their deck next to the fire, chatting about this and that. When the Steiners moved into their home, Chris designed a special deck for them that overlooks the nature preserve behind their backyard. It was built last summer, and they said they have gotten some wonderful use out of it since.
The deck is fantastical, to say the least, and it was beautiful watching the sun set, then the lights twinkle on the deck as I took photos of the space.

… When I “grow up” and move into my dream home, I’d like a deck like this.
kim - I am so unbelievably jealous of this outdoor area. We have a nice one, but nowhere near this nice.
