is an easy and inexpensive way to freshen up our rooms
and make everyday life worth celebrating.
there's an easy way to get started on your spring decorating:
head out to your garden shed, greenhouse, or garage,
and raid it for all of the pots and trowels and rakes you can find!
these wonderfully worn elements are the perfect touch for your front porch,
front door, entryway, and INSIDE your home, too!

i used the idea of pots in the walls in my January 2012 project:
and my friend Todd, who owned that sweet garden house, left them there:

...you may have noticed that I have a 'thing' for terra cotta clay flower pots...
six years ago, i had the sad task of giving away alllllll of my very large clay pot collection...
which includes these AND the ones shown in the lawn chair at the top of this post.
i'm currently planning a potting bench project for our backyard,
so i'm out searching high and low for old, mossy, patina-ed pots. and a bench!
What do you think about THIS idea for a potting bench?! wink.

That old stove is great! Don't know how it would work for a potting bench--not much surface to work on. Great for storage, though; you could put stuff you want out of sight in the oven!
ReplyDeleteThose old clay pots always give a space a vintage, real-life look. I have a few in my garage and you mentioning wanting a bench to put them on in your garden made me think I should haul them out and display them some way. Maybe on an old step ladder.
Thanks for an interesting and fun post!
Naomi, thank you so much for visiting and leaving a comment... i LOVE your idea for using a wood ladder to display clay pots on! once you do that, share a photo of your display on the homewardFOUND facebook page so we can all see your genius in action!
