awning? pergola?

awning? pergola? 

what should i do?

i love the idea of a fabric awning,

i think they are so cute and retro...

i also love the idea of an 

aluminum awning...

and then building a pergola...

well that sounds beautiful as well!

i am addicted to vines, so a pergola

sounds totally like my cup of tea...

they are also a little more whimsical

and romantic...

but not water proof...

i think a pergola is the way to go!

i can find vines that are sturdy

and thick,

and i also think i can figure out how

 to make it waterproof, 

or at least part of it.
