Bunny shares her design thoughts on how to make the best use of colour on Hard surfaces in the garden. Whether it be furniture, trellis, walls, windows or doors, there's some golden rules to follow.
Having recently repainted her entire property, she shares her thoughts on how to choose the right colour and discusses the many different paint types. And she seeks advice from Patrick Baty, a paint historian from Papers and Paints.
Bunny eventually chose a Littlegreen Mid Lead 114 colour, made up by www.brewers.co.uk into a Zinsser exterior paint with a 15 year repaint interval guaranteed. An important point as she has no intention of repainting again for a long time.

This video was so interesting because you were not dogmatic. You presented a variety of colors and showed how they could be used in different circumstances to best effect. YSL"s garden was bold and vivid and belonged in Morocco, but would look odd in the English countryside. I have a small stone cottage in Austin, Texas, and the peach, yellow, cream, and gray of the stone inform colors for paint and plants. I'm looking forward to my new Lady Hillingdon roses to bloom.

Really good thanks so much. I'm used to mixing paint colours in artwork, so have always mixed my own colours for interior & exterior use. This allows you to create interesting, complex colours from much cheaper base materials, which works great indoors, but I have to admit I'm jealous of the much longer lasting paint you've found for exterior use, thanks for the recommendations.

I so appreciate you sharing your thought process on choosing a color. There really is A LOT to consider as you so well know and pointed out with your examples. Your videos are always amazing, thank you for taking so much time to make them so well.

I love this entire series. Thank you Bunny. I have a shed that I would like to paint/stain. I can't make up my mind faced with a menu! So it's a tough one for me. I'd rather be boring than make a mistake, so I'm in limbo....I'll watch this video again....

I suppose the thing to decide is if you want it to stand out if it’s a good looking shed, or hide it - sometimes we have just planted ivy panels in front to make it merge into the garden. 🐇

Marjorelle, blue is the color for my garden in Ohio. It looks wonderful with yellow campsis flowers.

I am struggling to find a "signature" color for my garden and this vid was very helpful. Your comments about the brilliant Moroccan blue while standing in front of your newly painted gray gate (Excellent choice by the way) and a sky behind you of a very similar shade made me wonder if dominant "sky color" might not be a good starting point when choosing colors.

Thank you Bunny, that was really interesting, I always enjoy your videos. At least you didn't recommend Red Cedar, which is one of the worst garden colours ever 😝😯 yet somehow seems popular, at least where I live. My neighbour has Red Cedar, and it makes me cringe every time! I've gone for a greyish green and I like the fact that it recedes, so more attention can be given to the plants and flowers.

I'm just about to use a dark grey on the fence and shed but it'll cost a fair bit in paint so I've found a masonry paint at £10 for 5litres from BQ. Hope it lasts!!

When I was a child we had a sheep dip that was converted to a swimming pool. Proper swimming pool paints were expensive so my father used emulsion paint. It lasted amazingly well he even painted sharks on the walls, they looked amazing!🐇

Brilliant video as always! I was really interested in your paint brand suggestions. We’ve done ours with Little Green brand and it barely lasts two years. To get fourteen years out of an exterior paint would be amazing.

@bunnyguinness 2 года назад

Wow that’s disappointing Little Green told me their paint should last six years, I was tempted as the colours are great, but am glad I went for Zinsser. 🐇

50 Shades of Beige, that's me ~ I like to play it safe! I always feel that the hue of the fabric (stone/brick) of the building should be the main player, with the woodwork being complimentary support cast.

@bunnyguinness 2 года назад

Yes it’s a great colour, I used it on a tropical garden for Chelsea Flower Show one year - a real positive colour and luckily the sun shone that May!🐇

Sorry that comment should have gone to the comment above!

@fahadumatkhan8609 2 года назад

Really enjoyed the video. Can you please tell me the name of liquid that you mentioned that gives a powdery texture and turn into lead like colour. Please

@suewitteman59 2 года назад

She mentions it in the vid she did on using metal in the garden.

Rey interesting and helpful

@helenachase5627 2 года назад

I use whatever I can buy from the paint store returned by other customers. It's 75 % off. I even mix in other cans so the colors are usually kind of muddy. Suits me fine , I'm not rich.

It is this idea 'decency' should be attached to wealth -and 'indecency'' to poverty - that forms the core of one strand of skeptical complaint against the modern status-ideal. Why should failure to make money be taken as a sign of an unconditionally flawed human being rather than of a fiasco in one particular area if the far larger, more multifaceted, project of leading a good life?Why should both wealth and poverty be read as the predominant guides to an individual's morals ?
