COLOR: BEFORE & AFTER

After creating garden rooms, color is my #2 choice for what's important in a landscape. Came across this pic, below, yesterday.
OMG, so glad I stained the teak and painted the iron.

    And it was me too, for 2 decades. Happily.

    Who knows how it happens. You wake up one morning and nothing will do but to change what has been perfect for you.

    The blue of those chairs are so lovely with the hydrangeas in the background! Color is very important to me too.

    Tara, do you remember the name of the blue paint? We're keeping the cabin red & will change the trim from pinky-beige to white. Looking forward to planting lots of hydrangeas & have been thinking painting the metal items blue.

    Thanks & have a great marvelous day!!!
