I've just created a contemporary garden at my home here in England and used a similar grey for my fences and pergola.
I love succulents and my new garden is a lovely south facing sun trap ( not quite California ) ! so will be borrowing your fab scheme! Thanks for the inspiration. Annie

This looks beautiful! I have a garden fence dividing the garden from the drive and the drive side is very ugly as it is simply the wooden posts and struts and the reverse of the planks. I will create this on the drive side. Thank you.
Also, could I ask, do you have drainage holes in the bottom?

Definitely art deco. This is a hard one. From houzz pictures, it looks as though you could extend the Juliet floor out and then add a roof but a builder would have to figure that one out. You could have another roof line on the side and have your porch there and access it from inside, which might turn out even better as you would have a great summer entertaining spot. Have you put in Art Deco in exterior photos? Great ideas.

hello bonnielynn75 and THANK YOU! your comment put a smile on my face re the red on the interior side of the door. It IS red on the inside as well, he insisted on that when we purchased it. no one here has it red on the inside and I wanted it to be white on the inside. do you see my dilemma?;) I agree with everything you are saying, I suppose this is the reason why so far I was not 100% sure about the black for the door either, although I like black...Agree, there is too much wall and I find the house to be looking a bit 'bland' and would like to change that. I LOVE shutters, but read somewhere that you never put shutters on wide windows, so got unsure about that, too...but perhaps just the one as I stated earlier. Would the color on that shutter be the same as the door (if I ever settle on a door color)? Unfortunately window boxes are not an option as we have quite a few cats and they may be used as litter boxes;) please don't tell me to get rid of the cats;)... Regarding the stoop (entrance) : we need to add another step (made of cement) on top of the existing step: it was removed when the new door was fitted. We were thinking of putting slate tiles or something dark to match the roof, if that makes any sense.... It is porous cement so unsuitable for painting, I think. What place in Ireland did you visit, we are close to the Irish Sea in the country surrounded by sheep;)...

Personally, I would rather not have the space between ceiling and tall units - would take units right up to ceiling. Something just doesn't sit right with me with regard to spacing- in particular the very small space to the left of the hob. Like others I feel there are too many colours and would have had the island in a grey - but I love the colours of the walls. I like the shelf - but not pushed in the corner like that!! One of the first things that caught my eye was the different colours of door and window frames in the house- I would have kept them all the same.... Not going to mention the stools!!!! I love the rounded units and would have opted to have rounded edges on the island to be in keeping, personally. Finally, this all sounds rather picky but we all know it is down to personal taste and overall it looks very nice. THANK YOU for allowing us all to put our two pennith in and our would be designer hats on..... I love these articles and it does give us food for thought!

Is this kitchen to minimum or just right ???

It looks very good James. Even though as you say it was a clients design build, it works fine. Once the Island has stools it will fill it out better. Has that naked look at the moment. The position of the wine rack might cause issues but overall it looks like a really clean and fresh kitchen. Plenty of natural light and the colours compliment each other. The extractor is a nice feature too. Everyone has different opinions as I see on here but if the client is happy with it then job done. Looks really well fitted too.....well done :)

Hello. Yes, we added drainage holes. I believe they are about 12" apart. We wanted to be sure water would not sit in the bottom. Good luck!

You could make something similar with pallets stood on end with the cross pieces boxed in then painted. Like the idea very much could grow salad crops as well in a sheltered position.

Hi Carol, Yes, this would work well for small vegetables and herbs.

I think you've just saved me a fortune buying ready made troughs for a couple of walls at home! I was also thinking whether one climber would do the same job but seeing your succulent wall has convinced me otherwise. Presumably planting succulents reduces the need for complicated watering systems too. Love it! Thanks.

May I ask what the tumbling succulents are? I'd like some of them.
