Deck makeover

Amongst our other 15 house projects currently in play, we've decided it's time to stain our deck. The deck is several different colors and really worn and since the weather is getting nicer (we hope), it's a good time to go for it. Nathan and I have been to Home Depot about 6 times trying to find the perfect color of stain - my only concerns were nothing with a red tone (not a fan and what it's like that now) and making sure the deck contrasted the house (we tried a couple colors that blended right in and were blah...). The sixth stain we tried, we decided to go for - it's much darker than I anticipated and it's going to be pretty bold but as it continues to cover the deck, I like it more and more. Here are a few before pictures and a sneak peak of the new, oxford brown :) I'll post pictures of the final product!
