It’s been so dreadfully hot these past few weeks and I’ve just been enjoying the pool at mom’s house… but I decided to finally get a few little items done. I called it my PoP day.. the Power of Paint.. I spend lots of time lounging in my Rest Haven and look around and see a few things that need sprucing up. Like the big planters.. They’ve been bruised over time and there’s a little vermin running around my yard knocking them over..(I feel like the Bill Murray in CaddyShack – boy do I want to get him)..
Of course hubby thought I should throw them away.. Me.. no way.. they’re still standing.. lol.. got a couple of cracks at the top – but all in all.. still worth keeping.. and for $6.00 they look like new
After I picked up this pretty cool pelican from Ross – I thought a touch of gold would do good in the garden
Then I found this old hat buried under some items in the garage and figured.. why not flip it and fill it..
Added a few bricks to cover the outer edge pallets and a few more plants around it
I think I like the upside down hat planter..
I’m still contemplating the iron hens&chick holder… I’d have to take all that apart..soooooo…you know how that goes.. (another day..lol). Small changes but nice impact for this space.
I love how the sun hits the gold and gives it a glam glow.. Then I had this clay pot.. the worn out look was looking too worn out..
So, for another $3.00 it got a new look
Now I can smile when I look around at these pots again . 🙂
That’s all I could do.. cause BABY!!!! It’s HOT OUT THERE!!!
Tah-tah
The touch of gold is simply amazing. It definitely adds a bit of glamor to the yard. And the plants definitely look amazing. Everything just goes together and is amazing. Oh how I wished I had a backyard to decorate. Girl, I’d be out there all darn day lol. Love this.

LOL.. trust me girlfriend.. I need an extra pair of hands around this yard.. by the time I finish summer will be over LOL – but’s it’s my tranquil therapy after working that 9-5.. :-/ (smile)
You’ve inspired me to paint the concrete urns. Very hot here for northern Illinois, but nothing compared to where you are. Now, I wonder what color to paint those urns…I think I need a special paint for concrete. Why is it that one can have eight shelves of paint and the only concrete paint is baby blue!
LOL!! That’s a darn good question.. but give spray paint a try on the concrete.. I used a cinderblock to prop them off the ground and the color went on them.. hey .. you never know.. but I’d love to see them after you do them
The power of spray paint….. they look really nice.
thanks a bunch Sylvia.. yes. what would I do without it.. lol
