picket fence complete




top soil on the grass - preparation for summer

 

Resene SilverChalice 
Resene JetStream
  JetStream colour is similar to the exterior colour of the house.


Our picket fence has finally been completed!  Thank you to my follow bloggers. Your comments, on the front fence post, persuaded me to go the picket. The fence was low priority on the to do list, but now the fence is complete it has made the biggest impact on the renovation. The picket fence is a great first impression.

This week, the goal is to paint the front path. The colour chosen is Resene SilverChalice – I think. 
I have tested a sand stone colour & a charcoal, both not quite right. 
Hopefully the SilverChalice might be okay. 

The rainbow shower trees have loads of new growth, these trees will eventually provide much needed shade in the front garden.

  1. Oh we so badly need a new fence. Yours looks wonderful - it makes a big difference to the look of the house. I can't wait to see what the new path will look like too. xx

  2. Oh your picket fence really makes your house look pretty.
    We have two empty garden beds either side of our front door that have been that way for a year - low priority obviously, but it would be so nice to finish them so that the front of the house has some street appeal. I bet you feel good everytime you pull up to the front of your house now.

  3. Hello Miss KP

    that fence has set the boundaries now! (sorry a bad attempt at humour :)

    It looks smashing - and really is gorgeous.

    I can only imagine you need something in a cool colour on the concrete so your tootsies don't burn in the intense summer heat when they cross it.

    It will look wonderful when done no matter what you choose

    have a wonderful day and thank you always for coming by my blog and saying hi. It is always lovely to see you.

  4. Wow! You must have a little smile on your face every time you come up the drive. I would. It looks fantastic, KP. I love the recessed gate and the pattern and height are perfect.

  6. The fence looks great, a picket fence does have an amazing impact. I like the colour for the path too, I am really into greys at the moment. We have gery tiles and carpet and considering a house colour. Gx
