I was going for my morning walk the other day and saw these in the garden of one of the houses. From a distance my first thought was they were canvases but quickly realised they couldn't be. They are obviously wooden panels with the shapes cut out. I love them. I think they are stunning. I was tempted to knock on their door and find out where they got them:)
Do you have anything in your garden that is your favourite piece? Or something that you would really love to have? Any photos you can share with us?

Wow how very different Milena. They are not my cup of tea but I think they are very striking.
I think in the garden it is great to have a focal point just as we do in a room. Also to have some height. so in my front garden I have some wire cones that are about 165cm high and they are covered in Chinese Star Jasmine.
My favourite feature is my water fountain in the back garden. It is just outside the Meals are door and I can see it also from the kitchen. We spent a lot of time looking for just the right fountain.

I think my favourite now would be our newish find pond, so relaxing listening to the water, we have not long had our lunch out there. Our spa is also a favourite. :)

Milena, I actaully like these as features....I looked into them for a feature above our pool and found a company that do them as light boxes.
They look very effective at night. They are generally laser cut metal work so they survive the elements quite well.
Have a look here.....www.qdesign.net.au
They have a great gallery of all different designs and ideas.

Thanks Elements that's fantastic website. I definitely will be looking at them for the back garden as a feature against the fence with the lights lit up at night. I am liking this, I am getting lots of ideas:)

I think above the pool and in the backyard they would look stunning. Maybe I would prefer them on a rendered wall. With a light behind them at night would be gorgeous.:)

I like your idea of having them on a rendered wall with lights :)
