I resolved to be brave and a little outrageous thisWasabitime, so I painted the weatherboards quite an intense mid-blue called ReseneBuxus with perennial Bermuda Grey which blended well with the denim grey roof, and I used aforget-me-not brighter dark blue (Resene Madison) on the architraves and veranda posts.(Omphalodes I also used more of the wonderful Resene Guardsman Red, not just on theCappadocica)front door, but also on the insides of the window trims and on terracotta pots for the veranda. This was ne for the front garden where scarlet was king, but I didnt wantResene to be conned to scarlet owers in the side and back gardens as well, so IRelaxchanged the colour of the trims and doors beyond my side fence, using limeResene green Resene Wasabi which also looks great with blue. LimitlessThis freed me up with my colour choices in the side and back gardens, as almost any colour will look good with blue and lime green. Here, I indulged in the wonderful cool redsthe magentas, burgundys and even hot pinks which I also love. To these I have added purple, and even pale pink and touches of white. Again, I have used purplish/bronze foliage, as well as more blue owersblue is the most exible colour in the garden offsetting almost any other colour. These cool red and pink tones do blend well against the blue of theturn the page for house at the back and the lime green of the doors complements all.The house will soon be in need of painting again, so where to next? In my headalternative looks to I have already worked out a colour scheme which will change everything and it will not be demure.this courtyardwordsRobyn Kilty picturesJuliet Nicholas87'
