Earlier this summer, I found this pretty *vintage* planter at TJMaxx. While the color was a lovely light shade of lime, I'm afraid it just wasn't working for me, BUT, the price was right, and I knew that I could have a bit of fun with it.
Finally, this past weekend, I got to play with it! Out came my sample jars of CeCe Caldwell's Seattle Mist, AS Old White and AS Pure White. I then chose a simple, French image from the fabulous Graphics Fairy, and, once the paint was dry, transferred the image to the front of the planter. Of course, I then had to rough it up a bit after it dried with fine sandpaper:
Here is the AFTER! I added a little burlap, pinecones and few seasonal picks to create a fun, Fall arrangment, which now sits on our dry bar!
Thanks for stopping by!

What a great planter box, Becca! I love how you transformed it. The graphic is great and I love the Fall touches you added to it. I still have quite a bit of burlap garland that I bought earlier this year. I'll have to make sure I bring it out when I do my Fall decorating!
ReplyDeleteThose are my favorite kinds of projects! You did a fabulous job on this. The fall picks are perfect in the planter. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteSimple but very cute Becca:)!
ReplyDeleteLove that, Becca! Glad to see you have started decorating for Fall. Me, too, as of yesterday. It matters not that the temps are hovering around 108! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it, Becca! I like how you used burlap in the arrangement, it looks a little rustic!
ReplyDeleteXO,

P.S. LOVED your island transformation in the last post!
What a great transformation Becca! Love it and love the pretty fall display inside it too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project, Becca! The burlap is a great addition to the arrangement too. May I ask how you added the graphic to the planter? Did you trace and paint it on?
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty!
Very, very pretty! Free is the best price for any project! LOL Was the transfer easy? I am getting ready to try and transfer a graphic, but I am so afraid I am going to mess it up! You did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful transformation! I love how this turned out.
