Just to explain this particular part of the garden a little bit, it is really just the top end of the driveway, which we decided would make a good patio area, but I didn't enjoy looking into the grilles of our automobiles when we sat down to relax, so a privacy screen seemed to be the answer. I'm a terrible junk collector so I "just-happened-to-have" two sections of what I presume was black iron balcony railing. We attached them, one atop the other, and mounted them between the lattice panels. The curlicue at the top is just a length of flexible copper tubing, which we curved and attached to give a more graceful, finished appearance. Ive always admired the beautiful gated gardens of Charleston and Savannah, so I hoped that this would lend that feeling to my seating area. From the other side, you can easily see how near the vehicles are parked, but with the screen in place, I don't mind at all, they actually give us additional privacy from the road.
I could have sworn that was a complete gate from the start. You've broken the illusion Zuzu but you've impressed me with your cleverness. Looks great.
OOOoooo, there you go, making me jealous again with your creativity and eye for stuff. Will the plants in pots grow up and help with the screening? Not that it matters, whose going to look past this?!?
Gosh ZZP, imagine you having just the things you need in your junk stash. lol It is lovely, and the curlicue really finishes it off. I love what you have done with the inside of the "gate".
You do amaze me Zuzu that is now a very impressive spot to sit and admire.I thought it was one piece too. It it just fabulous.You did a great private sitting place for you both to enjoy.
Well I really am impressed!! I too thought it was a complete unit. You've really created a wonderful spot in your garden Zuzu.
How wonderful! I loved the gated gardens in Savannah. Now you have your very own :-D Great job! Deanna :-D
That's neat! I've seen something similar where they also hung a waterfall on it. That was pretty too.
