C'mon In

It took several weeks to gather all of the results of my blog poll question "should we stain our new gate, paint it, or leave it natural?"

Here are the computer tabulated results:
One person said leave it natural, one said leave it natural or maybe stain it after all, and one didn't know. No one voted to paint it.

And here's what we did:
We stained it.

It came out orangier than anticipated, because the underlying cedar wood had a reddish cast to it. It's Santa Fe orange, it goes with the turquoise garage side door and it matches the glass kitchen door. I like it.

C'mon in. Close the latch when you enter.
