Did i ever think i would paint the backyard stub wall this color? No. Did i do just that yesterday? Yes. This tone was recommended (again) by two trusted landscape designers we know and who've given us great ideas to transform our yard into a Coastal Cottage Garden. Our wall was white stucco, and we had a nasty glare from the afternoon sun streak into the family room. Frequently we had to close the blinds in the room to avoid that glare...no more! So, besides that added benefit, the walnut color makes the plants in front of it really pop out. It'll take some getting used to seeing it in the yard, as we've had that white wall for about 12 years. My first impression? Very modern looking. Plus it will be a nice accent to the pastels in the garden, and complement the interior redecorating i have in mind over the next few years.
