I found these galvanized planters at the thrift store for three dollars each. I like the galvanized finish, but I wanted them to look a bit more formal.
So out came the black spray paint.
Now they match the other decor on my front porch.Just for fun I put our house number on the front of each using a permanent paint pen.They're the perfect pots for beautiful boxwoods.

Great idea! They look great!
I love that! They look great!
darling!
Those are really lovely; the #'s are a fantastic idea too (and you've got a good hand with the pen).
I love what you did. They really look nice now. Great job.
They look perfectly new and bring such joy to your porch. The numbers are a get addition. Do you use a stencil for those or do it free-hand?
Thanks for sharing.

Your new pots look beautiful! And as a bonus, they won't be stolen, since they have your address on them!
Loving those! The house number is a great idea! I need to go to my thrift store more often!

So clever! Your front door area is so nice looking!!!
FANTABULOUS!!!!
You find the best stuff at the thrift store!
great idea. they look awesome!!
just out of curiosity, what brand of paint and finish do you use...I always stand in the store contemplating -- then walk away empty handed because I don't know what's best.
Those look AWESOME! I love that you put the address on them too. So cute!
You are so creative. Thanks for the inspiration!

Cute! I've been thinking about doing something similar since our numbers aren't easily read from the street.
Joy, those are absolutely stunning! I've been scouring yard sales and thrift stores for some new urns for my front porch. But I might start looking for these instead. I love what you have done with them!
those turned out great!
Every time you come up to bat, you knock it out of the park.
HOMERUN!
you make the most beautiful things. I really enjoy your blog, and tho I don't leave comments every time I visit, I just wanted you to know that you're inspiring. I wish I could find great deals like this at my thrift store, it gets pretty picked over.
Hi there,
You were one of the firsts to go on my blog list way back when, so I didn't want you to miss out on my "100th" Giveaway. : )
I've always loved your blog
oh, what a clever idea...i'm always looking for pots at g-sales, now I'll have to look for some like those!
As always another gorgeous project!!
Fabulous idea.
These are just beautiful!
What a cute idea! Great re-use of a thriftstore item!

Those are awesome!
What a gorgeous entryway! I love your planters! I'm working on a similar project myself! I hope mine turns out as lovely as yours!
Have a great weekend!
