Love that column...

Excellent Pop of white in the garden. You need two more white items (flower pots would work) to complete the theme ("Decorate in Threes" rule). I Love it!!!!!!!

What a pretty column. I think those add so much interest to a garden. I WANT one!!!

hugs, Karen

I disagree with Susie(sorry)and would paint the column green to match the bowl.
I think a rustic fence deserves a rustic dolor column.
Don't you love us all telling ya what to do.LOL
Its great but the bowl is a GORGEOUS color!

Golden- You go snort corn dogs!!!!!! I was right. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL She can leave the green bowl and still have pops of white. Susie

I think the white pops. I'd leave it. I passed up 2 of those at a garage sale yesterday!!! GGGRRRR. If I'd only known!! TFS.

Very pretty and I have to say I love the white too! :o) Darlene

love it. The flowers will always shine sitting on that column.

I love the white too with the silvery fence really has "wow" power! If the flowers trail down that would be great againest the white!! Are those tiger lilies by chance? mine finally died, they were about 40 yrs old & I think it got too wet after I took gutter down to paint. Will replace gutter later after neighbor's pine tree quits shedding don't like cleaning out all those needles in the gutters. Lovely setting you've made along that fence!! Jan

I like it all, the column, the pot & flowers..and your little carosel horse..very cute setting.!!
Susie, play nice & quit name calling golden!!! You don't want to have to stand in a corner..unless its in the garden of course!!!LOL,

Very pretty!!

If you want the white to scream at Y'all and be the focal point Then go ahead but when I look at that photo my eyeball is drawn straight at that column and there are soooooooooooooooooooo many prettier things to see in her yard. Look again and see what I mean. I tend to do the dry brush thing with a LITTLE white but if I get something STARK WHITE I take and drybrush with some rust or green or blue or other colors to soften and tone it down.
Maybe its a Florida thing, maybe its just my eye balls!!!LOL!
I have always heard NOT to put red in the garden because it drives your vision right to the red but thats not true with me I have tons and tons of red and other colors but if I stick white in there ,,,,look out.
THAT is what my eyeballs will keep returning to.
Anyway, it's only my opinion and
I am NOT Martha Stewart,,,,and it's a good thing! LOL

OK, where is the person that can redo pics like they did with the iron beds. Can they "change" the column to green so we can see the difference! That should settle it!! HA! Probably 1/2 will think green 1/2 will think white. What a wonderful world we live in with so many ideas & colors! In the garden things can be done a million ways! Just look at how "red" took off this spring! Yellow is hot!! No 2 totems are the same, isn't that wonderful!!Somebody color the column so we get a different perspective! Jan

I think when those flowers fill out and dangle down the column...WOW!!! This is beautiful!!!

I don't care what color any column is cause I just love columns and that is a nice tall one. I'm still waiting for mine to appear in a YS. TFS

Jitterbug- No malice intended at all!!!! That's what LOL means. Corndog snorting is all that is on my mind right now because of our 4th of July carnival coming up here in "the hood". Everybody here knows that susiewantsroses trys to find humor in most everything!!!! Life is way too short (and painful) to take myself so seriously. I opt for humor. I dont know how I sound while writing but there is not one "catty" bone in my body. Nope, cow bones maybe, cat bones- none.

LOVE AND JOY YA'LL!!!!!!

It's a little stark, but gives you an idea of the green...Personally I would give it a coat of drybrush with green or a brown...

that said, I think whatever color Kath likes she should go with...
{{gwi:149221}}

Hmmm...the green isn't as bad as I saw it in my head. I thought it might get lost with the plants, but it's not bad. Not loving the brown. Goes from being a column to being a post. Wondering how red or gold would be....

Thanks,
Kath

Its very elegant with the lilies. What is it made out of?
kathy

You can't tell it's a column anymore! Thanks emtnest! Jan

My vote would be with Golden. The solid colors are tooo stark. Dry brushing would soften the whole column and still leave it at a focal point. Susie gal I don't think jitter took you seriously. We all look forward to your " witzdom", and enjoy your contributions to our garden junk. I always take time, when I see one of your posts, to see what "witicisms" you are blessing us with.

Kat

Kathy - I think it may be porcelain?
I agree Kat. I am going to try dry brushing with a golden color. I will post pics, if I like it :)

Kath

here are some drybrushed shutters I did with SEVERAL color. different greens,navy and dark cream

BEautiful paint job on the shutters, goldenpond!

I have 3 pillars that I thought weren't weather proof but they were out on the upstairs porch near the edge all winter so I'm changing my mind.
