Megan already owned a beautiful old metal and marble table and chairs, which were white when we first saw them.

We mixed two colours together to paint them a metallic blue, matching as closely as we could the cranes in the distance.

A couple of wooden reclining chairs in the same colour as the decking, with cushions picking up the browns and blues, and the picture was complete.

At last we were able to sit back, crack open a bottle of wine on the balcony bows and savour the fruits of our efforts!
