I have been longing to use the rusted oxide paint on something for ages. Am I brave enough to do it on a house??? Maybe not. I am thinking more and more about using it to paint timber, to resemble huge slabs of rusted iron, with cuts, as screens etc, for a sculptural effect. On the One of These Days list!!

And the colour of that maple is incredible, especially against the greys and whites of the house. If you fancy painting zebra stripes, then do it! If they look awful, you can always paint them again. The colour of the maple leaves could be a clue though...perhaps a rusted or oxide paint finish or winding them with copper flashing in a wound wrapped style would work to pick up that glorious rusty red tone. Or wrapping chunky rope, in a dark but natural colour, around and around. <br /><br />The garden has grown so quickly in just 19 months.
