    Oh! The natural wood would look so much better against the stone. Try some stain/sealant on the cover.

      I thought the same. Maybe even a white-wash treatment to lighten the wood but still show the grain.

    • @clairetremblay3023
      @clairetremblay3023 Місяць тому +4

      Osmo is a good idea (in condition it's going to be redone in few years of course...). The color could repeat the color of the floor in the house.

    it would be criminal to paint the natural beauty of the wood. have you thought of just varnishing it. i bought some osmo on billys recommendation for my work tops and its a fantastic product, but there are cheaper varnishes out there too. the outside/living part of the garden is looking fabulous. can't wait to see the 1year one to remind us of all the hard work you and loui has put into the building

  • @Benjilaw2288

    Just a suggestion, leave the wood natural, as white would look messy very quickly. Especially with hanging plants that need to be watered. Or you could stain it, even if you stain it a light colour, the texture and grain of the wood with the stone would look warm and cozy.

    I noticed people are saying don't paint the wood... I don't think they've considered the fact that the wood needs a sealant and it's quite a closed in space in the sense there is little light due to lack of windows.
    Painting white - lifts it up and brightens the whole area into a pristine fresh area.

    I agree with many others--don't paint the wood. Love the natural look with the render and tile. If you want to lighten/seal it, how about a "white-wash" that allows the wood grain/tones to show through....but not white white, a color to match the render. Just my opinion.....♥

    As much as I love white interiors, there is something truly unique about the wooden ceiling and the plant area you created for Anna. Have you considered using a clear outdoor sealant on the wooden areas instead of painting? I also think that having all that white may be somewhat blinding due to the sunshine in that area. Either way...I cannot wait to see it all completed! You have done a marvelous job creating a beautiful area out of nearly nothing. 🙂. I

    Just a thought...I think a light stain and then a sealer on the new wood roofing would look amazing. Because it will enhance the stone for a more natural look. Plus I think it would hide the dirt or dust better than the white and overall should be less upkeep. Edd always does a nice job the wood looks awesome!! ❤

    By painting the wood in white Ed it's going to be more harmonious with the front of the house. It's going to be less «High maintenance» also. The ceiling there is going to look higher. Another option, is doing it with Osmo with few coats to protect it better. You are at the best place to decide. :)

    If you have to paint, white may be too sterile. Perhaps a light cream with a hint of peach tone to go with the tile? Or go to opposite of the color wheel for a muted mediterranean feel with a pale blueish color or even a few shades lighter than the plasterboard in the house. Make it a magical space.
