New Deck

So, here is one of the first things that we did to our new house. The back porch is awesome! With the two big trees in the back, it is nice a cool and very relaxing. But we didn't want to put the grill under the porch. The area where we put the deck was just grass, so we thought what an excellent place for the grill, a couple of chairs and a fire pit! We love it!

Now, would you stain it a color or would you paint it? I've seen some where the railings are white and the deck part is a different color. Our house is kind of a boring white brick color with white trim. What do you think?
