The trellis and bench was made from pretreated softwood timber and painted with french grey exterior wood paint. Hope that helps

Backyard bench & gate - time to add some colour?
Q

@Portcullis - sage green seems really popular at the moment which is why I think my contrariness is telling me to go for something different! It also doesn't help with giving colour during the winter months much but on the other hand there's a reason it's so popular! @Patience - thanks for the suggestions. I don't think of myself as a pastel person much but I can see how it would solve some problems like not noticeably fading like bolder colours would. Re. the boundary wall - I'm reluctant to paint it as it's going to have loads of plants in front when I get my pots - it's where the sun shines and I don't like the look of painted bricks much. Thanks for the suggestions - some food for thought!

Does it need to go across the corner or would you be better off having the wall as the back drop and using re-claimed timbers to be a frame with a nice pitched roof? I like the roof on this one:- I don't like the reeds.You could also use the same slates as are on the roofs around ! - something more like this. By not cutting the corner, you make the area look larger. Cedar Shingles are also nice, they silver with age, but look old fashioned. If you put a Wrought iron table and chairs underneath, as they look less chunky you also make the area seem larger. We have these:- but you can get smaller, lighter looking sets:- The biggest arbour we have at home ( 1850's cottage ) has carved uprights, courtesy of the wife - very creative, bless her. We used two beams bolted together to make them chunky and then she carved 'rope' in to them ( excuse the mess - our son is re-building a classic E30. )

A big thank you to our lovely client Lisa H for emailing this picture the other day of the #walnut #diningtable and #benches that we made for her getting on for two years ago now. Glad to see they're still looking good and that you're enjoying them as much as ever Lisa! Originally commissioned by interior designer extraordinaire Lisa Burke Interiors.

Kitchen Layout - space requirments for bench & ideas
Q

We had removed an Alno kitchen and dry-fitted another brand in the reception room, the experimental position did not work. The final kitchen is going in the 5.75 mtr extension with an island in front and a bench against the other wall. A separate lounge area will be created, this will be in addition to a new quiet /yoga room in the front room. Some questions / observations if you could help, comment please. Q 1 – what is the ideal width area for wall seat, bench and chairs – we have 2.4mtrs available before we hit the island seating area Q 2 – in this plan, are island seats really required ? The island (3x0.9 mtr) is desirable as a working area, Observation 1 – I am not keen on tall pull and swings and wanted low units against the wall, my wife loves the p/s units, I can see why as the present their contents when you open them, each unit is the same as having 3 base units. Are there any other options other than wall units ? Observation 2 – we are getting rid of the double oven unit in preference to base oven units. Observation 3 – could the slim A-F/F be placed next to bench, it may look silly with new flooring / deco / kitchen. We are okay to lose this F/F in preference of low integrated fridges & freezers - these are shown in the sketch. Observation 4 – The outside utility is almost ready to accept doors but the WM & Dryer will now be kept inside with a decent unit built around them. We may put doors to outside utility next year. Observation 5 – the extractor is new but we are ditching it in preference of a slim line hood Some pictures before we start on the new kitchen fitting...
