Show Me Yours.

Dee if you are colouring your deck a lighter shade then maybe you do need something to make your shed less dominant.

Maybe you could get various climbers how about a nice jasmin, scented honeysuckle which would be nice to sit near on a warm summer evening or what about an evergreen clematis?

I'm sure whatever you do decide on it will look stunning after all you always do a fab job. Hel.xx.

 

Hi all, just a quick pic of what ive done so far not a lot really.. But im going offline for a while, changing servers, and the computers going back tomorrow, Hopefully ill have finished the makeover by then !!!


I still need to treat the decking, choose flowers for the pots, and put some Trellis up, Im going for a White clematis

 

In that case Dee go for an armandii if you can. It will take a bit longer to grow but it is evergreen and will still look great in winter.

Just saw your reply that you would love a Boston Ivy. You really must PM on offers. Do you still want one? But, warning, they are not really a pot plant but if you want one PM. (I could have pushed one in with the wisteria - women!:D)

 

sorry.. If its no good in a pot john, its ok ill DO WITHOUT :D:D:D
Armandii. great tip, i would of went for any clematis :o Dee..

 

How about putting some nets in the other window and making it look like a beach/bathing hut.

Though I agree with everybody else, your garden is lovely as it is.

 

That looks a lovely garden. I only hope I can get something half as good in mine!

I don't know if the idea would fit what you have, but I'll give it a go. How about fixing a metal gate with a mirror behind it, between the two windows? Reflect back all of those lovely plants you already have. Maybe you could grow something around the gate/mirror?

 

Your garden is absolutely beautiful, Dee

I do like John's idea of using mirrors. I am planning to use a similar idea to disguise my compost bin. The garage is going to have bamboo screen with trellis over the top and I'll be painting murals on the rest of it

I look forward to seeing what you decide to do

 

I took this pic at 10 oclock last night:eek: 5 mins later it was dark

Ive planted a Clematis Armandii in the large pot, and red orange and yellow in the othe pots...

 

The grasses are in :thumb:

 

Yeeehaaaa..dont disguise it any more, its a helluva feature and looks lovely!

Steve...

Thankyou peeps for all your comments ideas and tips. Iv,e had great fun doing up my shed, probably change it again next year :D
Sar i have a mirror, maybe cover the smaller window, and once the Clematis covers the other window you wont see the clutter inside the shed:rolleyes: Looking forward to seeing your garage "Done up" you could Start a thread ..you know..before and after pics. Its Great fun,
