Side access painting

Side access painting

I just want to share my recent painting work.

I have been doing budget make-over on our first home, and finally cleaned and painted our side access area.
I'm just amazed how powerfully painting works!

I used Dulux weathershield (Lowsheen / Surfmist).
(Thanks for a bucket of Jellybeans!)

Re: Side access painting

Totally awesome makeover, @Chie! You've got to be super-happy with that, and what a world of difference a bit of paint makes, hey! It's just lifted the whole area's feel.

 

Got enough paint left to do the back of the fence? Even stapling some Euro reed screening to it would look mint. I can feel a real island paradise/Mediterranean theme coming on here. Check out @LaCasaDIY's amazing Mediterranean-inspired outdoor renovation project for some ideas. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you pinched a few.

 

Love your work and can't wait to see what project you tackle next.

Thank you for your comment and great advice, Michell!

I was thinking about painting my pavers as well and you have given me some ideas. Thanks for sharing @Chie . Your side access looks amazing!

Hi @Nham

 

I totally agree, the white pavers look very relaxing and as @MitchellMc suggested it's not too far away from the Mediterranean theme. Some reed or bamboo screening and a few choice accessories and you'll get that coastal feel in no time.

Hi @Dave-1

 

I totally agree, the stained glass windbreak is very nice and adds colour to the entire area. I'm just waiting for the Mediterranean transformation to occur.

Re: Side access painting

Thanks @Dave-1 ! The stained glass was passed on from the previous owner of this house. I loved it when I first saw it. So happy to still have it on our patio :smile:
