I have always loved gazebos, but now I think I’m equally in love with pergolas. I’ve seen them around, mainly in catalogs and picture-perfect setups in commercials, and now I know their name. Squee! We have some interior renovations to take care of and a deck to build, but I swear, before I turn 50, I will own a wooden pergola. Right now our yard is frightfully bare, with the exception of a childrens’ playset (swings, slide, glider, see-saw), a wooden picnic table, a wooden swing, a wooden glider, and two grills (don’t ask). Well, okay, maybe that’s not bare exactly, but it’s certainly not inviting, at least in terms of providing a place for adults to sit down, relax, and unwind. Oh well – our cozy living room does a good job of that. So maybe someday!
