A neighbor of ours was moving and was unable to take their large outdoor plant with them. She so kindly placed the plant in my care, and I was ecstatic! It was a large leaf beauty, deep purple in color. The pot it came in wasn’t my taste, but I didn’t care. About a week later we had a freeze (not too common in our part of the country) and it died. I felt horrible!! I was actually stressing that she would get ahold of me and ask how her plant was doing! I can laugh about that now 😀 So, now that I was left with nothing but the planter it had lived in, I decided now was as good as any to give it a little makeover to help it fit it with the rest of our patio decor. I have been loving the paint dipped look and decided to give it a go!
This was a super simple makeover using Amy Howard’s One Step Paint!

I just love the mix of whites, greys and neutrals in your decor. Your blog has been an inspiration to me over the past year in my own design. Beautiful pictures!
Thank you so much, Jennifer! Your comment means so much to me!!!
Well I know what I'm doing today!! I have a planter the exact color of your pot in it's original state sitting in my garage.
Can't wait to give it a makeover…..I never considered painting it!!! So smart!! I love your patio furniture and the planters and greens compliment them so much.
Oh you totally should, Lisa!! I'm kicking myself over passing up so many planters that were clearanced, but not a color I wanted. Now I know going forward! Thank you 🙂
What an amazing transformation, Shelley. I love the color and it's perfect on your front porch! Happy weekend!
Thank you so much, Kristy! Hope you had a great weekend too!
Thank you so much, Sherri! I keep thinking about all the planters I’ve passed on and kick myself now!
