Pretty Pergola

I would like to make a decree to the universe that the next house I inhabit feature a fabulous pergola, like Christy's from Beach Brights. 

 But Christy didn't wait around for the universe, she hired out the work and made her vision come to life herself. She lays out the step by step process of how they added a pergola onto her existing deck — which was then stained and repainted — on her blog, HERE. Thanks Christy!
