El Cerrito Renovation

Sitting high up off the road this front patio features two areas, a covered porch with built in bench seating as well as a more open pergola area with direct access to the kitchen via a dutch door. The entire patio/porch area is covered in 7/8" Western Red Cedar stained to appear weathered. The color was achieved by opening the wood grain with water then applying a nearly black stain and quickly wiping off excess.
