More Flower Pot Cuteness

I did another little project over the weekend with the 4 remaining little flower pots I found at the thrift store recently.  You can click here for that post.

We have this area above our front door in the entryway…

So I decided to use my 4 little pots and sit them on the ledge above the door and decorate them.

First I painted them all Heirloom White.

Then on the side facing outside, I decided to put our house numbers on them so that is what you see as you come up our walkway.

Those are in reverse…I had to stay focused since I was going to write on the other side too. :)  And I just painted them free-hand with acrylic paint, like I did my other numbered flower pots.

Then I wrote “home” on the other side so that is what you see from inside the house.  You’ll understand from my photos what I’m talking about since I clearly am having a hard time writing this!

Then put some styrofoam balls in each pot and stuck in some faux greenery.

And lastly, I had hubby cut a 2×4 scrap we had in the garage to fit in the space above the door, so it would give the pots some height.  Then I painted it the same as our wall color so it would blend in.

And now, this is what they look like from the inside…

And from outside…

And there you have it!  My double-sided pots!  This was all original baby!  No Google searches for me this time. :)

Hope you like!  I promise I’ll quit talking about flower pots now and will ease up on the exclamation marks!  :)

*Edited to add, that I did put a dab of super glue on the bottom of the pots to the wood just in case.  It’s a wide ledge and I slammed the door several times, as a test of course, and they don’t budge. :)*

    Love the two-sided feature of this project! And I love the fact that you filled up that beautiful, tall window with some treasures!

    • Decorchick! says

      July 7, 2010 at 10:49 pm

      Thanks so much Suzanne!! That window definitely needed something. :)

    July 6, 2010 at 9:17 am

    What a great idea! …wish I could free-hand as well as you!!!!

    • Decorchick! says

      July 7, 2010 at 10:51 pm

      Thanks Teri! I’m sure you could. And if you mess up you can wipe off that acrylic paint with some water and try again. :)

    Those came out really cute! And you can change out the greenery for the seasons. Little trees would look so cute at Christmas.

    • Decorchick! says

      July 7, 2010 at 10:56 pm

      Thanks Anita! That would be really cute at Christmas time!

    July 6, 2010 at 10:11 am

    What a really cute idea! Wouldn’t work in my house though – my boys are door-slammers and I could just see the pots ending up on someone’s head! =)

    Jeanine

    • Decorchick! says

      July 6, 2010 at 10:16 am

      Jeannie, I forgot to mention that I added a dab of super glue on the bottom of the pots to the wood just in case. I’ve slammed the door several times already (as a test) and they don’t budge. It’s a pretty wide ledge.

  8. Amanda@The Hand Me Down House says

  13. TurleyTimes says

    July 6, 2010 at 1:16 pm

    This is a great idea. I think I could do this on the window ledges in my sunroom – it would give my backyard neighbors something to look at. :)

    Very Very Cute idea! I love that you made it double sided, I would have thought of that after I was done! I get so excited about something that I don’t think it all the way through before I start. I have been trying to do better!

    • Decorchick! says

      July 7, 2010 at 11:26 pm

    Love them & can’t wait to find a place to do the same in my house. I have extra pots all painted and ready to add letters/numbers – as soon as the sun comes out, I will be looking for the spot. I’ll be sure to let everyone know it was your idea and tell them about your wonderful blog. Thanks for the inspiration!!! (I love exclamation marks…….)

  42. Larri @ Seams Inspired says

    July 9, 2010 at 9:25 am

Since hubs is in the Navy and we will be moving a lot over the next 15 years, I think it would be kinda cool to have flower pots from all our different homes!

    I just checked, and I’m pretty disappointed that I don’t have a ledge to do this with!!! But …. I do have totally empty cabinet tops, and I like this idea a LOT. I could do a two-sided and change them when I want to … FOOD and HOME sounds cool, or EAT and FUN … now I need to go thrift-shop for some flower pots! Thanks a ton for this idea.

Tonight was the 3rd griefshare meeting that I’ve attended, and that does help to be around others who have lost someone close. But it is also so painful hearing their stories. And it’s a night during the week that I’m forced to think about how he’s no longer here. It’s helped me to realize all of the thoughts and actions we have are normal, and the things we do that are odd to others, are actually part of the process.

I haven’t been able to wear these shirts of his yet (he wore them every single day. The red one was his “fancy” one), but I’m glad I have them. It’s just really crappy I can’t see him in them any longer. 💔

This is a pain like no other. I watched him take This is a pain like no other.

I watched him take his final breath at 7:24 this morning. The scent of him is still so palpable.

Gone too soon, and years stolen from his wife and grandkids.

We live in the same small neighborhood, right around the corner on the next street. Now the girls can’t ride their 4-wheelers to go see him. We can’t just swing by to pick him up. He can’t go on our walks anymore. There are lots of no-longers, and it is crushing my heart.

Who am I going to call now when I have a question on how to fix something? He had a solution for everything usually saving us hundreds of dollars. Everything was fixable to him, rather than hiring someone. And often he would find the answer on YouTube.

Who am I going to text with when the Astros make a good or bad play during the next World Series?

I want to hear his voice again. I want to go over and cut his hair again. I want to make him another pie for his birthday and Father’s Day.

It hurts so much.

I love you Daddy.
