painting my garden fences white or cream??? would this look too much??

also thinking about painting the shed cream or white too?
was thinkin of painting the trellis’s on the fences lavender too? Would it all be far too much???

Better Homes and Garden had a picture in one of their slide shows where cream was used for an outdoor room. It looked wonderful:

I think your idea of painting the trellis lavender would add to the beauty in your garden, also. I had seen another garden where the person had painted the walls around their garden area a bright blue. it was simply gorgeous and complemented all the flowers and plants in the area.

You could paint the shed cream and if one side faces the garden, decorate that side throwing in some lavender that matches the trellis. Or hang a piece of outdoor wall decor (just as examples you might consider: http://www.modernartisans.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=7 or http://www.ballarddesigns.com/Outdoor-Living/Outdoor-Wall-Decor/c/2010?path=1%2C2%2C1464%2C2010)

Little Lord Fauntleroy $21.81 Little curly-haired Cedric had no idea he looked like a young lord. For that matter, he had no idea what a lord was. His greatest friend was that cross, opinionated groceryman at the corner, Mr. Hobbs -- who was never cross with him. POne day while visiting Mr. Hobbs, Cedric was called to hurry home. There his eyes met those of a tall old gentleman, splendidly dressed, who rubbed his thin chin with one bony hand. He seemed not at all displeased with what he saw. PAnd so, said the man at last, slowly, and so -- Ithis/I is little Lord Fauntleroy! PFrancis Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) enjoyed international success with her 1886 novel ILittle Lord Fauntleroy/I -- a buoyant novel still popular more than a century later.

Bamboo Fences : 1568988346 $23.34 Bamboo has emerged as the building material of choice for the twenty-first century. Designers in every field from architecture to aeronautics are discovering ever more innovative uses for the miracle plant. Five times stronger than concrete and flexible enough to be woven like silk, bamboo has for millennia been an indispensable necessity of life for cultures around the world. Botanically classified as a grass, it is one of the fastest growing plants on earth. Its abundance and extreme durability have made it a natural choice as the raw material for fences and partitions. Indeed, in Japan, bamboo fence building has become an art form, and endless varieties of bamboo fences exist, from simple picket designs to elaborate fences woven with bamboo branches.brbremBamboo Fences/emprovides a detailed look at the complex art of bamboo fence design and presents these unique structures in more than 250 photographs and line drawings. Author Isao Yoshikawa gives a brief overview of the history of bamboo fence building in Japan and classifies the different designs by type. A glossary provides an explanation of Japanese fence names and structural terms. Yoshikawa explains how the wide range of fence designs had its origin partly in the full development of the tea ceremony during the sixteenth century, when elegant bamboo fences became important elements of tea ceremony gardens. Bamboo partitions were used in Zen temples, and from there spread to ordinary homes. Many fence styles are named for the temple in which the first of their kind was built. From the widely used four-eyed fence (emyotsume-gaki/em) and the fine raincoat fence (emmino-gaki/em) to the expensive spicebush fence (emkuromoji-gaki/em), the natural color and texture of these exquisite bamboo fences could complement any landscape. Whether you plan to use bamboo to bring privacy to your yard, Zen to your garden, or are just seeking an environmentally friendly alternative to chain-link or wood@7W=p£×ÿ¾Úð
