New Modern Rustic Outdoor Privacy Screen + The Rest Of My Patio
Hi there friends! Today is the day, I am finally sharing my new outdoor privacy screen!!! It’s a nice blend of modern & rustic and it gives us a little more privacy from the road. We live on a corner lot across from the bay on a very small piece of property. So any additional coverage that makes it feel like a retreat away from the rest of the world is exactly what we need.
I decided to go with a stain rather than paint because I have a good amount of painted surfaces in this space. I also wanted to balance the warmer wood tones since I tend to gravitate towards driftwood gray.
My friends at Sherwin-Williams made it easy to select a color. They were extremely helpful when it came to choosing a product and color. For longevity purposes I went with SuperDeck, an semi-transparent deck stain.
My friends at Sherwin-Williams ® made it easy to select a color. They were extremely helpful when it came to choosing a product and color. For longevity purposes, I went with SuperDeck ®, an exterior deck stain in semi-transparent deck stain.
My goal was to give the privacy screen a soft warmth without pulling out the orange hues.
You can see below there are a variety of colors to suit your preference. They also have samples of these to make the decision easier. You can choose a water based stain, like I did or an oil-based stain.
SuperDeck comes in a semi-solid or transparent stain. I ended up going with Baja Beige.
I am so thrilled with the additional privacy and how the stain compliments the flow of the space. Baja Beige was definitely the right choice.
In case you missed the reveal, this is the before….
The during…..
And the after……
The primary wood tones in this outdoor space are driftwood grays and warm caramel. They look great with neutrals and pops of color, like plum and indigo.
This is the space all lit up with string lights, it gives such a cozy feeling, doesn’t it?
In case you were wondering, my garden is overflowing with mint in the front, not weeds. They say you should keep mint in pots, well this is why, it completely takes over! I am also growing oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, beans, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, sage and strawberries.
As you can see we have a very small yard but we do make the most of the space.
We love spending time out here, it’s such a welcoming space. And the best part it didn’t cost much.
What do you think?

See the mint back there behind the table? It’s gone wild but it adds natural touch.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a happy day!
Where did you get the wicker lounge chair and side table to match? Thx
Hi Brandi,
They are from IKEA:).
hey girl- love the patio! So cool! y’all have a great weekend!
Thank you Shawnna!
Your yard is lovely and how fortunate that you have the very tall privacy hedges – they are beautiful. A big yard is not always better, especially when you have the ocean across the street to play in and near.
And yes, there is a very good reason to plant mint in pots. It becomes very invasive and you’ll find that even if you clear it out of your garden – or think you clear it out – it will be back. I plant several herbs every spring but I have a special large “pot” for my annual mint plant. Oh yes, learned the hard way.
Thank you Pat!! Enjoy the rest of your summer:)! Jen
Wow that is such a nice improvement. It’s clean, simple and inviting. I love how it divides the yard and allows you guys a space for entertaining. It makes me want to pull up a chair and roast a few marshmallows! Beautiful!
Where did you get your string lights if I can ask?
Hi Laura, thank you!! Yes, they are Allen & Roth from Lowe’s.
I love your space and yes I’ve been there with that mint.
Haha, yeah it takes over, lol! Thank you Rebecca!!!
