The scale of the deck

You can appreciate the large scale of the deck with two people standing at the lower deck.

The Deck is done, with lights and all!

I found these beautiful outdoor LED lights that can be installed flushed to the deck.

Jose Diaz, the contractor!


Stainless Steal Cable Rails!

Arlington County has finally decided to allow its residents to use cable as an option for a rail system. This happened in the nick of time since we originally had to settle for the view-blocking wood posts. Not any more. This option is so much more beautiful and sophisticated, it is worth every penny.

More progress on the deck

Great job on the contemporary japanese inspire upper and lower deck

Fireplace ready for the tile...

Glass Tile as backsplash

I am so in love with this glass backsplash with shiny and mat thin horizontal pieces of glass.



Beginnings of the Deck


Beautiful Trex

Trex decking was a major investment but I think it is worth it.

Holes and more holes

I am amazed at how many holes they had to dig and fill with concrete.

Build-in media cabinet

Our fabulous contractor, Jose Diaz, has build us a media cabinet that perfectly fits the sides of the fireplace.

Backyard transformation

We have come a long way, but we still need the deck and landscaping.


Countertops installed

They installed the countertops in 3 hours. They look fantastic.
Beautiful Silestone.


Our tree is gone

It is sad to see it go.
