Secret Corner alterations

lovely Karen. I love the use of mirrors in the garden especially in corners like yours :-))

That looks lovely Karen, but aren't you worried a bird might fly into the mirror!

Great job Karen, love a good mirror :-)

That works so well, what a great change, given it a whole new design look. I hope we get a night photo when the lights are on too.

THanks everyone. Rose, I've not had a problem with birds on the mirrors, but I have lost some on the conservatory windows. I've placed deterrants on them now though, so that should do the job. It is a bit funny to watch the birds attacking their own reflections on the mirrors though!

A job well done and it looks good Karen! :)))

Great job - you certainly have an eye for detail Karen.

Thank you very much both. It was Annie that inspired this with her lovely mirror.

Looks good. I rather like that.

Thank you Cinders, the corner has lost all of it's original 'japanese' flavour now, but it has become more of a 'sanctuary' with this little bit of Gothic! :)

Yes, very nice too.

:) ta!

I bet that has thrown quite a bit of light into that shady nook Karen, and by painting the surround black it seems to have shown up the planting more. Great job, love it.

I love it too Karen it raelly enhances that area much more interesting and inviting;0)

Thank you both. Yes, the mirrors are great for bringing light to dingy corners. The large one on the long woodland border makes a huge difference. Thanks PP, I shall be popping out shortly just to have a look at it! :)

that really is nice, love that mirror, shame about the clematis though.

Just right,K! The mirror hits it off!.....such a little change brings a whole new look.

Love that mirror, it looks fab and as you say, goes with the furniture. Love your pots (the square ones too!)

Thank you ladies. Glad you like!

It looks lovely Karensusan and as others have said, very inviting. Love the mirror, you did a good job with the paint. I like making changes too, something very satisfying in it isn't there?

There is Jane. Thank you!

Really good idea Karen. The mirror looks great in that position.

;) Thanks Dorjac!

Looks great Karen,and much nicer painted black..I like that secluded area..nice to get out of the hot sun..when we have any ! :o)

Indeed....sigh! Thanks! :)

Loved the mirror and the new design Karen! Think that black frame really suits it too, such a creative idea my friend..
They say that a finished garden belongs in a Museum..We constantly change and adapt as our creativity flows..It has been too long since I last visited your garden through your blogs, and I look forward to catching up on all your news.. Loved this and thought it inspired. \0/x

Thanks Flori....very kind as usual, good to hear from you again! :D x

It's good to be back Karen..\0/x

I missed this one completely Karen! That mirror looks brilliant and so much better for the coat of black paint. How much was it Karen and can you pm me the sellers name? :o)))

mirror looks great karen and so does the corner, well done :o)))

Thanks San x

I missed this one also, just the job, the mirror looks so much better now that you changed the colour, a lovely corner, I love changes.....

Yes, me too! A change just energises doesn't it? Both the garden, and the gardener!

So true, just wish I was 20 years younger lol

lol...don't we all? ;0)
