I had Seagrass before and changed it after a year or 2 to a more cottage green colour. Yours looks lovely but it didn’t really look right in my garden.

@flavine Penman i wanted something like that, I spent half of night awake thinking how I could mix a colour with it , I didn’t want this colour either but there’s no paint anywhere & I was just impatient, I only painted it brown last week, I’m so indecisive

@tem66932 I know the feeling! And once you start there’s no going back  I’m desperate for masonry paint but will have to wait cos I don’t want to pay £5 for postage! Can’t bloody wait to go the garden centre

@flavine Penman Aldi has some masonary paint for £7 and Wilkos has it in

@stefanstefanac5 I’m too scared to go the shops  I went to the co-op today for the first time in 3 weeks and so many people got far too close to me. I feel like I need a poke stick to keep people away  
by (360 points)
@flavine Penman , I’ve loads of masonry left might have to use it on bench, go for cream, I’ve been painting for 3 weeks, I did 10 fence panels today & gravel boards I don’t stop

@tem66932  it’s so addictive isn’t it! I can’t relax in my garden because I’m just constantly looking for things to do in it! Thank god for gardens at a time like this

@flavine Penman they’re pretty good at only letting so many in at a time in vogue stores

@stefanstefanac5 I’ll give Aldi a go I think. Will go later in the day cos they seem to be a bit quieter then. My other half went to Costco a few nights ago and it was empty, queue was round the carpark few hours before! x

@flavine Penman yes it’s always quieter not long before the shops are closing x

@tem66932 the dark colour will be to much. It's like when you are decorating you need 3 main colours :)
by (1.9k points)
Plus your decking dark toned i think it will clash
by (360 points)
@flavine Montgomery yes I know , I did think cream originally & I’m going to buy a fake trellis of artificial plants as it’s needs toning down, I’m-sure I’ll adjust to the colour

I’d keep it very simple with the bench; one single stripe in a bold contrast ☺️
