The old blue pot is weary, and I'm tired of looking at it. It's time to put it back to its original terra cotta color, and Krylon's Fusion paint is perfect for the job. I first painted it blue with Fusion in 2008, and it held up beautifully through all these years outdoors, unprotected, winter through summer. *Disclaimer: Krylon did not pay me or supply the paint. I just believe in passing a good thing on.

There, that looks much better!

Of course, I had some paint left in the can and this pot looked old and faded. Not any more....it's just like new again.

When you're on a roll, go with the flow!

So.....what to do about this old pot that has dill growing in it? Cover the soil with the saucer from another pot, of course.

Now all the pots look bright and clean and almost brand new. It took nearly two cans of paint and $12, but replacing the pots with new ones would have cost much more.

Almost dry and ready for planting. Aren't they purty?
Oooh, what a great idea! I have some pots that are looking pretty shabby, but I had never thought about spray-painting them. Thanks for the suggestion on the brand; I always try to go for the cheaper stuff, and it turns out horribly.
ReplyDeletePrairie Cat, for plastic pots Fusion just can't be beat. I tried another brand once, and it peeled right off. It was supposed to be for plastics too!
Deletelooks great! Great savings tip too! now what will u plant in all of them? heheheh
ReplyDeleteAmy T., I already planted chamomile in two of them, the two larger pots. It might get too big for the pots, but it won't hurt to try. I didn't know where else to put the plants! One pot will have cucumbers, and probably basil and flowers int the remaining ones.
DeleteGreat idea and they look very clean and spiffy with a fresh coat of paint on them.
ReplyDeleteThey do look so much better, Kitsap. All but the blue pot had spent years in the AZ sun, and were very faded but in good condition.
DeleteThis is a great idea. I have a couple of pots that would look better if they were all the same color.
ReplyDeleteCrafty Cristy, it's certainly a quick and easy fix. The fusion paint dries in minutes, so they were all painted and most of them filled with potting soil and planted in less than an hour!
DeleteWhat a nice way to renew! You've been so busy... I wish some of that would rub off on me!
ReplyDeleteDavid, you've been noticeably missing lately....you must be busy gardening!
DeleteLooking good! When you get on a roll, you just don't stop!
