Flower Pot Makeover

Hola! Nothing much to see here folks, but for the sake of consistency, I figured I'd do a super quick blog post anyways. Unfortunately, due to the super hot weather this year, my yard and flowers haven't been doing well. My grass is JUST now turning green again. Eventually I had to choose between pretty green grass and an outrageously high water bill :( So, you know which one I chose.

Anyways, I figured I'd talk about my pot makeover. If you follow the blog then you know that I am all about painting. I will grab some paint in a minute! It's hard enough to find something that you like. If you wait around to find something that calls your name AND in the right color, you just might be waiting forever.

So I found this vase that really liked for the porch. The height and the shape is what sold me. However, that color had nothing to do with my house...no worries!

 

***By the way, I realize that this color can be considered neutral, but I am a matching freak ;-)

 

I grabbed my handy dandy spray paint (good for harsh conditions), and wha-la! For about three bucks  I created the pot that I wanted *insert evil scientist laugh here*

 



 

Once the pot was dry I filled it with a banana palm and sweet potato vines (a beautiful combination if I say so myself). Here's what it looked like after a fresh watering.

The arrangement has grown lots now, but I don't have a current pic. If I can remember, I'll snap one to show the growth and post it here later. Well, that's is that. Transformation complete. What types of things have you transformed this summer? Until the next time guys, XO!
