Outside Room Makeover


Paint, paving & potted colour
A VERY SEASONAL MAKEOVER
                   
Buttercup walls soon to be gone...just a matter of time and lots of it.

oh dear, before :(

Step-by-step (pun intended)
The foundations, its almost winter and ccccold!

Crazy paving, blue flagstones & bluestone tiling for walls, still cold.

Arrival of the plants under strict supervision, warming up slightly.

Just when you thought the box hedge was passe...it LIKES the cold
NB: almost around the corner with black rail conversion

The xlarge copper pot, used to turn chocolate at Cadburys ready for potted colour.
Not melting but have packed away the thermals.

Sweet little violets from our garden used for base planting..tres economical
Note December dappled sunlight!

with ring of English box, sunning itself.
Setting up a day bed, while the sun is still out and about.
