I painted a section of the front verandah post, and myyy...it does look smart. It will really improve the house, when the rest is painted white. I will be so pleased to get rid of the ghastly blue colour that is there now.
It can look rather starkly 'black', but I know it will fade with the weather, and in certain light, has a more tempered 'charcoal' look to it.
Then a wee bit on the back garden-wall. I love it. So sharp!
I tried a bit out the back on the lower edge of the retaining wall, where there is concrete. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I guess it would look better with, say, green ficus growing over it. Maybe I will proceed with that. Not sure yet (the paint, that is). Maybe it should just be white, a continuation of the fence colour, to make it look like it is all 'one'. Or maybe 'half-strength' Domino. Hmmm.
Then, I went back to the back fence, and tried to finish off the segment I had started a few days ago. As I had used some of the paint in other areas, I ran out just before I could finish it properly, but it doesn't look too bad for now. I'll finish it off another day.
And so, here is the final back garden pic for the holidays. I like the colour, and will proceed, when the weather is warmer, to spray paint the rest of it. Ohhh boyy, there is still SO much to be done around here!
Lastly (for now) here is the front garden, 'John's garden', at the end of the two weeks. I believe progress has been made. Still desperate for guttering and new roof (then I can get rid of that dreadful blue kiddy bath there, which catches the water and is, I must say, very useful as plant water).
It is all still so new and 'early' in the development of this place, even after 4 years. I guess these things can't be rushed without a pile of money. I'm still looking for that!
