Did You Guess The Color? Painting The Arbor 🧑🏻‍🎨 || Visit Our Garden

[@larafernz6790]

Wouldn't it be awesome if the neighbour's shed got painted black 😉🤣

[@sbear2315]

Yessssss

[@marydengler3157]

I would offer to do it if I were them. He said no one comes back there on their side.

[@cherielacroix3046]

I was thinking the Same

[@curtreese3089]

I was thing a grey color so the arbor will still pop a bit… 😅

[@odemonet]

I was thinking that too

[@Sharon-g2y]

Robbie, that looks perfect. It will be so beautiful covered in creeping fig!

[@carolynredpath5412]

Oh Robbie how gorgeous is your “arbor, pergola, trellis, whatever it is!” I love the mirrored door/gate! Now with the creeping fig……OMG!♥️♥️🌱🦚🍃

[@StaceyFernandes-ek9ks]

stunning maybe once you have the path to to doorway you can put your little bistro set there too !! looks welcoming

[@heathertrent3881]

Robby, the pergola and the door are beautiful! It gives secret garden vibes!

[@annelarson160]

This addition to your garden is a classic example of a garden "folly." I think yours holds its own against many of the most well-known garden follies I've read about!

[@virginiaramirez4214]

Wow Robbie, you did a great job 👍🏽 I can’t wait to see what you’ll tackle next 😆cause once you set your mind to something you want you’ll get it done 💪🏽

[@originalchoochoo]

Love that arbor! You should put a hinge on that door, and have a funny picture or saying behind it.

[@juliapounds1391]

Looks beautiful! Wouldn’t it be nice if your neighbor would let you paint the backside of that shed black too!!!

[@AngieSalinas-dy6bj]

Loving your mirrored door/gate gives a secret garden vibe. ❤

[@janicebean5448]

Give some thought to using the bricks you have in storage as a walk in front of the door.

[@carolfisch9750]

Stepping stones might have a more informal look to the mirror door. More of a secret entrance way to it.

[@Dvgis]

Beautiful Arbor! You should add 2 hanging plants to it.

[@zookey93]

You are so talented Robbie! It looks beautiful! If you ever come to Ventura you need to visit me, I got somewhere special to take you.

[@bevjensen2278]

Well that was a stroke of genius, building both the door and the pergola....looks amazing and such a focal point!

[@victoriamcbean8492]

Maybe you offer to stain/paint the neighbor’s shed black too? Just a thought!! Looks fantastic, well done you guys❤

[@joannejensen4369]

Looks amazing.🤗🇨🇦

[@gardengirl6854]

Good afternoon I just bought a creeping fig for the 1st time I’m trying it on a topiary shaped like a turkey crossing my fingers it will spread fast to shape. Love how your garden is evolving but I love how happy you look sharing plus your husband is on board it’s cute he shares your happiness.🥰

[@jamieflint2550]

That looks so good!! Can't wait to see the creeping fig grow up the trellis!

[@alicerd451]

I actually like the pop of colour from the neighbors side behind the mirrored door. I live outside Chicago and if I asked someone to change a part of their yard esthetic to match mine. Oh, boy! Lol The neighbors may have flowers planted behind the shed or similar and the black paint may clash. I respect others opinions on this though. This looks wonderful! Keep on, keepin' on Robbie and Brent! ☮

[@odemonet]

I absolutely love where you are going with your property. IT looks amazing

[@elizabethhunt4185]

Perfect!

[@sandistolle4874]

The black paint looks great. Mind the fig as it will take over your garden at ground level to.

[@JRP58]

I’m so glad you painted the pergola black. The plants really pop against your fence and will also do so on the pergola.

[@peggyfrommanitoba7310]

Your yard keeps getting prettier!! ❤️🇨🇦

[@lyonhawaii]

Isn't it cool how we are able to take a problem area and create a beautiful area to transform it?! I love your ideas here! What magical area!

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

I can't afford you, but You're Hired! It looks amazing Robbie! I can't wait to see plants grown over it.🤩

[@janetroby5655]

Is the creeping fig evergreen? The door and pergola give the garden a whole new vibe. Well done!

[@peggy-ann1961]

Perfect choice Robbie, it looks fantastic!🇨🇦👏🌸

[@sherylebroehl-spears8349]

Very cool and creative. Sheryle

[@carlarivas1238]

Hi Robbie and Brent - I guessed that you would paint the piece green. I’m glad I was wrong. The color choice is beautiful- awesome job

[@janettefisher256]

Black is classy color , looks great !

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Oh my gosh Robbie this looks soooooooo gorgeous, beautiful. Awesome and Amazing soooo freakin' magical I absolutely love it. You and Brent make a great team. Love y'all ❤

[@fredagordon3328]

I really couldn't imagine it any other color. Perfect!

[@KimatRevAcres]

It looks great I love the pergola nice job building it.

[@sandygroves5297]

I love it painted.

[@sherylchapman4168]

Oh Robbie, after all the work and love you have put into your garden, how can you move? Anyhow, I’m sad you’re going to be moving, but it will be for the best. 😢. This current yard is going to be even more beautiful once the creeping fig grows in!😎

[@Brenda-fp5te]

Perfect, this area is looking fantastic. Can't wait till the plants are moved & stones layed, it will be awesome.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Robbie! I really like that you painted the pergola/arbor black. It looks so good with the garden door. The creeping fig will be so pretty growing up and over it. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@stephaniefuller]

Honestly at first I didn't know if I liked the new entrance but now that it's finished it looks awesome! Great job!

[@lindasomerville2039]

Black, I knew you would pick that!! But I thought you would do climbing roses. The figs will be gorgeous too. Well done.

[@MaryJohnson-c1y]

It’s stunning I love it 🥰

[@darlenencambria]

Great project Robbie. Everything turned out beautiful 🌻🧡

[@RC-mc6rc]

Robbie this looks so good I showed it to hubby told him I wanted it! Also I have been buying plant tone at tractor supply. It’s a lot cheaper than anywhere else in bigger bags, I think they are 25 pounds. We can’t get bio tone here in so cal.

[@sheliafears591]

That Pergola, Arbor, Trelis, Gazebo is everything! ❤👏🏽

[@vickysullivan4798]

One of my favs you have done!! Beautiful display!!

[@annwoleben5439]

It's amazing how one addition like this enhances the garden - love it!

[@lanajackson3730]

Absolutely gorgeous Robbie! Wish we could grow creeping fig in our zone 7b. We just finished making a Japanese garden on our north side of our property, with the “NO DIG METHOD.” So far all the plantings look great, even this summer with 100 deg. weather. Only lost two creeping thyme by the dry stream. 👍🏻💕💕🌻🌼🌸🦋

[@anncove8111]

Love your enthusiasm and love the pergola

[@LindaBaker-l1b]

It is fabulous!!

[@adrianamorrison8743]

I saw a video at baumans gardens and he had garden boxes on top of the pergalos and it was beautiful, just a thought.

[@rhondafisher72]

Looking beautiful, love the color of course.

[@estella2007]

The arbor/pergola looks great!

[@tammydeschenes4857]

Looks amazing! Wish I had you to paint my greenhouse last year. I’m such a messy painter. Despite tarping the area I still managed to get overspray all over my plants and stepping stones🤦‍♀️ Great job!

[@lisaborkowski1483]

Great choice for the color! No regrets on that decision!!! Come to upstate NY and help me…I want the same thing in my yard:):):). Question for does the creeping fig bloom flowers? You do have a great vision and am excited to see more!!! Yay!!🩷🩷

[@grettamcbean258]

Robbie whatever you want to call it Trellis it is no beautifully done You and Brent had done a beautiful job. What’s on the next agenda. Can’t wait to see it!❤❤

[@grettamcbean258]

Take out no ! That was my phone. The Trellis is beautifully done

[@cathyhatfield5340]

Robbie it looks gorgeous and the fig vine will look beautiful once it climbs! Great job❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@AlBGood]

Wow!!! It looks fantastic, but why not,you are amazing. Thank you for showing us how👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😘

[@tinasalerno51]

Looks Stunning !!!!!!

[@SaltwaterMom3]

The creeping fig is going to look so gorgeous on the arbor! I also love the look of it along the house, it gives such a cozy vibe to the space. Last week, I ordered the paint sprayer on your recommendation. Hubby and I are excited to use it… it’s our first sprayer! We are building a media wall with an electric fireplace, soundbar and our 65” TV… shiplap with a dark charcoal color to break up some of the very light walls.

[@rhondaschenk5727]

I love the color of the arbor and can’t wait to see the creeping fig climb up! Way to go!

[@lisahowell3468]

Robbie, it looks great! Maybe the neighbor would let you paint the back of their shed black? They wouldn’t even see it! You make everything look so easy to do! Love the way it turned out!!!❤❤❤

[@johnbrigham5955]

Love it !!! You are so talented ❤🌹❤️

[@lisa5b4g]

looks stunning!

[@jjjohnston545]

Stunning. great job with the mirror door and arbor. Any reason you didn’t plant trees to block your neighbour’s shed?

[@joycelynbell1434]

😍😍oh the trailer looks so good!!

[@abeerali7834]

Robbie that color 👌 success! Creeping Fig, sold ✅😊 I’m definitely going to look for them in my area.

[@deborahwilson2432]

Awesome job! Love it, looks so good and adds a little ‘je ne cest quoi’ to your garden ❤

[@sandyduncan914]

Beautiful 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌼👍👍👍👍👍

[@5262janna]

Looks great!

[@BritInvLvr]

I love the look of creeping fig. Can it house mice and rats like English ivy does? Or does it stay small enough?

[@ptgardener3725]

Your garden is catching a Harold’s vibe and I am obsessed ❤❤❤❤

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Robbie. 🌺💚🙃

[@stefmcclure9386]

I was hoping you would pick black for the color 😊 It looks awesome! Your vision is coming together beautifully.

[@wh0a12]

Black is the obvious choice but I would gone with maroon or even bright red..or a teal..gotta get out of your comfort zone once in a while

[@jeangravette7007]

This is beautiful!😍

[@jillbruce3624]

Ooh La La!!!! Love.

[@brendahill2]

When you remove those plants, you need to put stepping stones down to make it look like a walkway going through the door. I LOVE it. ❤💙🙏🙏. I love your videos!!

[@joandavis6107]

Lovely

[@maryannwhitten5123]

Hi Robbie & Brent!

[@bigboy77dk]

I sort of wish, you had centered the pergola with the shed, on the other side of the fence.. Would it be very annoying to move the pergola?😂 And then, as someone else also suggested, I would ask the neighbour, if it would be ok to paint the back of their shed black, too? Just because the back is so visible from your side. Anyway, if you did all this, it would REALLY create the illusion, that the door actually led somewhere 😁😁😁 I would then actually go all out, and create a little "front porch" seating area there 😂

[@donnasmalley3713]

Possibly the door speaks to the history of the property when there was a passage connecting the two sides

[@AnaJimenez-f3g]

If u plant a hedge of Paloma Blanca Euonymus on each side toward mirror would be so beautiful.

[@paulajames6149]

Creeping fig is a great houseplant too.

[@Sleuth71]

I would have made the door the same height as the fence.

[@jackiecook4441]

Beautiful

[@wandawebb8095]

I love it all ❤

[@Gardenmimi1950]

Awesome job ❤️ I love it

[@kimgoodwin5653]

I was hoping it wouldn't be black or that you'd consider painting the mirror another color. It's a little 2 dimensional with everything being black. Maybe once the fig grows to the top it'll break it up visually. Isn't creeping fig a slow grower, like a foot a year? Gonna take a few years to get to the top of that arbor.

[@gogowoods2616]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jeaniemcdaris8276]

❤

[@gracieshomeandgardens5089]

❤❤❤❤😂great job robbie

[@lidiajimenez2728]

👍😊🎨

[@christophertaylor9826]

I'm glad to see your husband Brent help you and show himself in your videos.

[@susanparker-heitel702]

Thought… what about attaching a piece of black stained lattice across the back so that the creeping fig will cover and the neighbors shed will be totally blocked off… now is the time to do it and if you stain the lattice b4 attaching it would be a 10 minute project.

[@fabricandflowers83]

If you offered to paint that side of your neighbors shed do you think they would let you? Your green color you love would be perfect on that side of the shed. Black was definitely the right choice.

[@bethreisman8869]

OK Robbie, I don’t want to rain on your creeping fig parade…..BUT I wish you would mention about their huge invasive root system. I have had it and still do have creeping fig growing on a huge stucco arch at my front steps. However I was forced to remove it from the stucco wall , probably 30-40 linear feet. The fig invaded my in ground irrigation, busted my wall and plugged up drainage going out of a walled patio. Its roots become ginormous with age. Just be aware.

[@norlealagunsay2979]

What about climbing rose❤

[@nitahiltner3348]

Robbie, I had creeping fig on one house and it covered the back half of it. One day I wanted it all down and I just made one pull and it all came off! So, no problem. But, I do have to say it doesn't grow that fast, so I don't know if it will be all the way up by the time you guys move.

[@sgildeasg]

How do you clean and maintain your paint sprayer?

[@marysuarez913]

While I love your mirrored door and arbor, I wish you would have chosen a different location where that shed was not behind it. Since you are planning to move plants anyway, it would have been great to have planted a group of arbs to obscure it then placed your door/arbor to the side of the arbs. That shed is like a pimple o the nose of a beautiful woman. You can’t help but focus on it. Meanwhile, I love you walkways and window boxes. And I can’t wait to see what you do with your new swoop. Will it have a “Janey” look?
