    Hi Mr G
    thanks for the compliment :SUNsmile:
    As to the colours: The company that produces the paint is Norwegian and called "Jotun"
    Or do you want to know the name/number of the exact color chosen ???
    That I don't remember:scratch:

      Oh...try anyway.. Jotun is available in the UK www.jotun.com/eu
      am I allowed to post the link??? If not...sorry Mr or Mrs Admin:new:

      The paint is great to work with, not cheap but goes a long way, doesn't chip and covers with one application. I would always use it again :-)
      as far as I remember the grey is ready made, the greenishwhatshamacallit colour is costum-made

        My hubby HAD TO have these to gentlemen.
        I was a little reluctant about getting em but..ah what I did for love :cool:
        they were heavy as hell to move and now watch over the garden from in front of the cabin.

        meanwhile I made friends with them and try to make em feel at home:)

        I do very much like that color combination in front of the grey-greenish of the cabin

            Look how much growth the hedge has put on! Notice the waterfall feature isn't on - do you have trouble keeping the water filtered? All looking lovely Luna, I like you choice of plants,

            Thanks Jenny :)
            true..the water is not falling...we don't let it run all the time, but so far we don't have any problem keeping the water filtered. Mr Luna is the Pondmanager and in charge of keeping the vast waters clean...doing an exellent job so far :patpat:
            I'm hoping the plants pass well through the winter months..so far we had something in bloom from February until now..lets see if we can copy that in 2013
