Metal Surprise!

Guess who got the metal for the deck handrail this weekend!?! I'm so excited! It's just going to be a super simple black powder coated handrail with straight pickets about 4 inches apart. I wanted something clean and classic that would go with any style, much like the photo above. It makes good resale sense. I thought this was going to be at least a month away but it looks like the Mr. has moved it up the list. Such a wonderful surprise!
The funny thing is that while he was surprising me, I bought him some garden lights to hang around the deck for his Easter present. He has a light obsession and I knew he'd love these! Here's what they will look like only in a way less dramatic setting.
