We use high quality latex paint and only exterior paint for the outdoor designated items. All items (including those in a natural redwood finish) are first sanded to enhance the surface quality.

Paint Styles

COTTAGE PAINT

Our standard style of painting is the Cottage Paint Style primarily due to its continued popularity. In preparing items in this manner one or more techniques may be used to give the item a natural time worn look. Such techniques might include sanding highlight areas, reduced painting of certain areas, the absence of primer, random paint and other techniques to create the desired effect.

FULL PAINT

When we paint items in our Full Paint Style, we generally apply a full coat of oil based primer and at least one coat (often two coats) of paint to the entire item. Since the desired effect is to create a fully painted look, we employ none of the techniques used to create a time worn look on these items.

Inherent Characteristics of Wood

We primarily use Redwood in most of our CottagesandGardens wooden items for the Garden. In addition to its beauty, Redwood has many advantageous characteristics that make it a practical wood to use outdoors in its natural state or otherwise without the use of a permanent sealer ~ it weathers well compared to most other woods.

We use Redwood, other hard and soft woods and other wooden materials in our wooden items for the Home.

As with most natural wood products, a particular item may contain cracks, bare wood, knots, color gradients and other random elements.

As with many paints and most latex paints, nicks, scratches and other changes to the painted surface may occasionally occur, particularly for larger items, during manufacturing and while in shipment. If a "completely finished look" is desired, touch up painting may be required upon delivery.
