black garden accents


in my garden


I love black accents in the garden, so I'm crazy about these huge black Chippendale style planters that I found to line the entrance into our backyard. I was lucky enough to find these at a charity auction last year. They were originally white and I gave them a quick coat of black paint, and now they look so elegant.
Here's one I found on-line for a great price:





What's next for black in the garden?
Maybe a pair of these for the terrace...

Black iron urns are so classic and never go out of fashion, so they are a great investment.
I have several - inside and outside. Painted, patina'd, housing plants/ twigs/birch logs {which looks especially pretty}.

I like black in the garden too, preferably in a shade garden that's about pretty foliage!

Hola
I, too, am digging the black in the garden.
I just blogged about my quest for a black garage door here:

I share because I wonder if you gals would confirm that it's okay to have a 'car' garage door painted glossy black?
I know it's okay for a 'people' door, but the other one has me stymied.
TY, in advance.

I love black accents in gardens too...a bit like the dark structure of branches, they add such a wonderful drama. Your planter pots are gorgeous, but wow the ferns look so verdant! You must have a green thumb or 10, I am thinking....
