"I used Valspar as I wanted to have something quick and easy that I knew would work well on our project"
I was really inspired by our travels last year to Joshua Tree in California, the outdoor spaces (and interiors) there were amazing so I wanted to draw inspiration from what I saw, but also I wanted to make sure I kept it within the style of our house.
I headed to our local B&Q and picked up some exterior paint by Valspar Paint - we are big fans of their paint as it is durable, washable and tough, but their exterior paint also has a 20 year guarantee and is UV, algae and mould resistant too.
I chose the shade ‘Downing Street’ which is one of their over 2000 pre-selected colours, but I am also a big fan of their colour matching service too.

I am so pleased with how it has turned out, even just painting the fence has completely changed the look and feel of our garden.
We then sanded and varnished our old garden furniture as it was perfectly usable, just looking very tired, and that made a huge difference, we then tidied, cleaned, pressure washed and finally we were ready to add the finishing touches.Â
It’s now the perfect spot to relax in during the day and at night, and I am so happy with our mini makeover. I cannot wait to spend nights out here reading my book- if the English weather allows it.
