It looks cleaner and I am a fan of white. Not something that I would rave about though. It's fine. I think painting the latice work a different color would give it some contrast and interest.
Yes, it is definitely a great update. However, to me it looks like you can still use some creme on the cake. It is an awful lot of just white to my taste. So I'd use the two biggest 'screens' (walls) for a nice mural. To get that wow-effect.
I know, not everybody is a fan of that, if not a mural than something. Anything. Too bare as it is in my opinion.
No problems with the colours, it looks very nice but want to know exactly which side I am looking at--is it front or back. In the first pic. the entrance is clear and looks like a main entrance, in the second pic. looks like a back door. Just curious :)
You painted the stone? LOL. That dry desert heat is gonna fry that paint. Since you dont have leaves to pick up over there your at least gonna have paint chips to pick up.
