Black Urn Planters Turned White (DIY)

I was looking for a few  white urn planters  to put on the entrance on our new home, but could not find any.  There were some but urns can be very costly.  I found black urns half price when I got home with them my husband did not like it. So I sprayed painted them white.

Here is what I did.


What you need.
- Rust-oleum Stone textured finish spray paint
(for 4 medium size urns I used 8 cans)
- Behr Ultra Lagoon Moss sample
- Behr Ultra Potting Mix sample
- Brush
- A pair of gardener's glove
- A mask

Clean the urns with damp cloth. Then spray each of them two coats evenly.
Let it dry for a couple of hours under the sun.

Take a brush and deep it in Potting Mix paint and wipe the brush gently as we do not want a blob of paint on the urns. Gently brush it over the crevices of the urns. Do not press the brush. Do it all over the urns. Then do the same with the Lagoon Moss paint color. Paying extra attention on the crevices. Let it dry for a few hours or over night and do not put them out door in case it rains.








I really love the black turned white urns now. After a few weeks they even look better like in the  picture below.  And my Verbena have grown on to the side and down the urns. They were very small when I just bought and planted them on the urn (picture above).

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Happy Wednesday Everyone?

Saturday Blues

I can not help myself to post a small home decor design boards when saw these blue glass objects from One Kings Lane.

I am crazy in love with small beautiful versatile simple decoration objects. And these are some of the things I love to have a round the house. And they are on sale at One Kings Lane.

Available at One Kings Lane









We (Steven and I) are in the middle of selling our home. It is so much fun to be able to imagine what your new home would be like.  The style or type of decoration you'd like to see in your new home. It is not easy and certainly quite costly but if you start looking from now and if you are looking at the right places you will be able to pull it off and get exactly what you want. It is  a constant learning process but I am right now training my eyes to see color, objects or furniture so when the time comes I {I should say 'we'} know what we want.

Do you have a home design/decor dilemma that you want to share ? I really want to hear them? I am not an expert and after all, we are all learning from each other.

Thank you for stopping by !
