Got It

John came home with this yesterday and hung it up last evening.
He wants to stain or paint it.  I can't decide whether to match the deck color or go with a contrasting paint. 
I thought about white but don't think I want that, nor black.  Any suggestions? 

I took this pic a few minutes ago from inside looking out.  The pink shows up a bit better.

I am busy making the house kid-friendly as my son and family are coming to visit us this weekend. 

Have a great day!

Your swing looks great there! If it was me I think I'd stain it, as I could never decide on a paint color! LOL

Kristin said...

Have you thought about green? Either a dark hunter green or a soft sage.....

Marissa @Life On Our Mountain said...

Oh, what a wonderful place for a swing! How about being bold - red or yellow!? :)

Saska said...

I think it needs to be a bright color. There is so much green/brown in the world...add some color like your flowers!

Yvonne said...

Enjoy your swing! I think red would be awesome.

Mimi said...

Red does sound cheery. I'm glad you decided to get the swing and I think you and yours will really enjoy it :) Have a good visit this weekend!

Red is my favorite color, but you could go with a more neutral color and then add colorful cushions. Glad you got your swing. Whether you use it a lot or a little, it will still be a blessing!

I love it in white!! It looks like a breath of fresh air just waiting to be enjoyed. Congrats on your new swind and kuod's for hubby getting it hung

Your deck is gorgeous! The swing is in the perfect spot too. I like the idea of painting it a deep red. Stain would probably be less of a problem to maintain though.

Softie said...

I would stain it. If you decide to go with paint red would be nice.

Michelle May said...

Yep, red was my first thought. A deep, rusty red.

Conni said...

Just need a picture of you "just a swingin'"!!! Love the hydrangeas.

Thimbleanna said...

Oh, you lucky girl -- that swing is gorgeous! Your hydrangeas are beautiful too -- I made the mistake of getting white hydrangea bushes -- now I just want to rip them out and get pretty pink and blue ones!

Deb said...

I think I'd go with a deck stain color for the swing and use a colorful quilt hung over the back to add a pop ...not keep it there all the time but just if you're out there swinging or having company or whenever you need to feel cozy out there.

Dawn said...

The swing is wonderful - an opportunity for a fun color like red or lime green? Pretty flowers!
Enjoy your company for the weekend.

Lovely! maybe cream, pale blue, pale green...definitely needs to be a different colour from the rest I think. Look forward to a photo of you swinging on it :)
