From your elevated perch, you can watch the sunrise, gaze at the stars, or howl at the moon.<\/p>\n<p>The charm and appeal of a deck is that it lets you go outside without leaving the house. It provides a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors without putting a foot in the dirt, and that makes it feel as good as it looks.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, there\u2019s not a second story room in any house that wouldn\u2019t be enhanced by adding a deck to it. Why not step out onto the balcony deck of your bedroom, stretch, yawn, and greet the day \u2026 barefoot and in your bathrobe if you like? \u2014 <em>Dorothy Ainsworth<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em><strong><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\">Pre-order<\/span> our newest book!
