CHOOSING TO PAINT & STAIN

It's not an easy choice. Staining wood & painting iron in your landscape. No going backward once your 6' teak bench is stained.
Hard work going forward painting your inherited rusted iron chairs.

I waited years to pull the trigger.


It never looked 'bad'.

Once the deed was done, WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?

A French conceit, consistently applying color in the landscape. Studying in France I saw that it worked.

If it works in a fabulous landscape it will work in yours.

    I understand the procrastination about staining and painting. The target at my house is a cedar fence. Not bad once it silvers with age, but I think it would look better stained. Unfortunately, my husband disagrees!
