My sister and I visited a lot
of garage sales
and thrift shops
over the weekend.
We came upon a real treasure
and I swooped it up
before anyone else could.
I only wish I had gotten
a total before photo
( I forgot).
Imagine this as bright
red and yellow.
In fact, it made me think
of a circus, it was so bright.
I began the transformation
by pounding drain holes in the bottom.
Next step,
a few coats of brown spray paint.
I added bronze paint to the raised
edges
and planted it
with a variety of
succulents.

That's just the cutest planting box I've ever seen. How crafty! :)
Wow, look what you've created. I would have passed up that item and never given it another thought. Does it stay inside now, or can you put it outside?
Great find....I love this, Jill!
So clever!!
That's a pretty neat planter. What was it originally? Looks like a frame, but the little boxes have me puzzled.
I love it when people can see outside the box :-) So cute! ....and congrats on 500 posts!
Another cool idea Jill. Looks great!
What a great find!! I think we would have been fighting over this if I'd seen this too! :-) However I could have never come up with such a clever idea!!
