Stormy, I do have a white fence like Holly said. I had the property surveyed and got a permit before I had the fence installed. I had some serious neighbor issues, and was also afraid of their kids falling into the water garden, and I wanted my privacy, since I am on a corner lot. Not many places to hide.
I find the white fence is a nice back drop for colorful flowers, I stay away from all white flowers.
There was not much room between the houses, and having the shrubs and other over grown plant material removed gave me actually more space then I though I had. I really like it, I have not gotten to the point where I am ready to grow vines or hang things from the fence but have given it some thought.

I think once your initial shock wares off you will view the fence differently. I really love your bench and the large planter to the right of it, they really pop out with the fence as a background.

Here is just a corner view, the picket is at the front of the yard. It runs from the corner of the house to the privacy fence.
