What colour should my mum paint the patio?
~ heavenly waiting....on the porch ~

My mum is going to paint the patio in our back garden either 'Brick red' (kind of dark) or 'Sandstone' (a creamy skin like colour). We have a wooden bench that has been painted light blue and the brickwork is painted white.

She wanted terracotta (sort of an in between the 2 ) but the store doesn't stock it keeps asking me but I have no idea what looks good colour-wise, help!


If your mum wants terracotta, the storeowner may be able to get it in for her.

If this isn't an option, the brick red would probably be the closest, and patio paving paint does fade eventually and would make it look a bit softer. (sandstone is a bit bland and boring).

That would look great with the light blue furniture and white brickwork.
Maybe she could also make cushions in a colour similar to the paving paint, to link it all together.

Cute gardening decor?
custom-wood-furniture-design-sarasota-10

What have you found that is cute or goes good in your garden lately? I'm just curious about ideas, from various benches, patio sets, garden globe balls, stones, statues,etc.


There is a home near me that has very nice informal gardens along their drive way - lots of patches of flowers. They have things scattered along the way that are painted solid white. One is an old iron bed headstead, another is an old fashion bicycle with a basket. There is something else but I can't remember what it is at the moment.

It is not over done - I don't know if you can picture it but it is really cute and makes you think of days gone by.

Also, When my dad wears out his leather work boots, his wife puts little flowering plants in them and tucks them among big landscaping plants around their decks. Its cute.

I have some wooden garden chairs and benches that need some color. Should I paint or stain? Also, I'd like to?
custom-wood-furniture-design-sarasota-11

some real color but don't want the furniture to look tacky. I like things to look natural since I live on a river and the landscape is all indigenous to the area. One bench over-looks the river, two others are in a patio area. I also have a picnic table that could use to be re-painted, it's currently a dense red. If I paint, do I need to prime first? Any color suggestions?


There is a perfect paint for your project and it Olympic paint stain. It comes in a ton of colors, shades and stain pigments. You don't need to prime, but should sand any areas that are gray, peeling or loose. I love this stuff and have found it long lasting, durable, weather resistant and fade resistant. It is great out in the sun and everything I've used it on gets hit by the automatic sprinklers almost daily and it doesn't get discolored like other paints or stains I have used. I got it at Lowes.

Seniors what do you have in your yard that isnt a plant?
custom-wood-furniture-design-sarasota-7

What decorative, creative, interesting or whimsical little something do you have in your yard that isn't a plant ? Something you put there yourself.

I have a statue of St Francis which is about 3 feet tall, and a black Asian carp that is about 1 1/2 feet long and stands about 8 inches tall.
A sandstone plaque of some sort of face on the fence and 4 musically tuned wind chimes and one bamboo "chatter" windchime.

This morning I found a ceramic rabbit by the carp. Two things come to mind, someone put it there as a nice surprise for me, or whoever stole my 6 hostas left it to taunt me. Its where the hostas were.

I have the usual garden/patio furniture, mine is faux wicker, and an antique garden bench
And apparently had a rooster with a sense of humour LMAO
This summer I need to get another birdbath, mine also went missing :-(
We arent allowed to use fire pits anymore damn environmentalists, it pollutes the air. They are trying to ban wood burning fireplaces too
I used to have half an acre and I was in heaven, even with the pool I had my own "park" ! Now I have a postage sized back yard, its enough for me, and the cat likes it.

Creative ideas for an outdoor table?
custom-wood-furniture-design-sarasota-12

My husband and I just moved into a new home and the previous owners left a very nice wooden bench that I am planning to place alongside my garden. I would really love an outdoor seating area, but can't afford to purchase a new patio set. Does anyone out there have some creative ideas for building an outdoor table to go along with the bench?

Thanks!


yes...you could put together a table with a large garden urn with a sheet of tempered glass. This makes a nice "coffee table" for an informal seating area in your garden.

"(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays" is a popular song, commonly associated with the Christmas season. The music was written by Robert Allen, the lyrics by Al Stillman. The song was published in 1954. The best-known recordings were made by Perry Como, who recorded the song twice, in 1954 and in 1959. The first recording, done on November 16, 1954, was released as a single for Christmas, 1954, by RCA (catalog number 20-5950-B on 78rpm and 47-5950-B on 45rpm). The flip side was "Silk Stockings" (which appeared in the Cashbox magazine top 50). "Home For The Holidays" reached #8 on the Billboard magazine charts in the United States. The next Christmas it was released again, with "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" as the flip side, as RCA 20-6321-A and 47-6321-A. The same recorded version was released in the United Kingdom by HMV with the catalog number POP-103, with the flip side Tina Marie. On July 15, 1959, another recording was made, which was released as a 33rpm single (RCA catalog # VP-2066), with flip side "Winter Wonderland" in the US, and as a 45rpm single by HMV in the UK (catalog number RCA-1215). This 1959 version has also appeared on many compilation albums. The 1954 recording is the better known widely played version on the radio. The Carpenters recorded a popular cover version that was eventually released on their 1984 album An Old-Fashioned Christmas. www.robesondesign.com - Meet San Diego Interior designer Rebecca Robeson as she describes the Velazquez family extreme home makeover on the San Diego KUSI news.
