My grandmother had this lovely little garden planter that she usually kept filled with geraniums in terra cotta pots. Over the years it has been given less attention and I asked to rescue it from the shed at my parents for a little revamp. You can see that it was a pretty piece with the scrolling edge lines but rust had taken over. I had a bit of work to do before I hit it with spray paint!
A close up shot. You can see that it can hold a pretty significantly sized pot on the top and I haven’t figured out if I should stick smaller, compact pots along the bottom or keep it simple with just a top planter.
Now for the tools….borrowed my BIL’s drill with the wire wheel and some great matte black spray paint. I am not a pro with spray paint yet so brand didn’t matter for me. I just wanted the shade/tone right.
After a little work, rough rust patches were gone and I got to painting. I think it turned out quite nice!
