Pretty Pots

Pretty up some plain terra-cotta pots with paint:

The people at Ladies Home Journal painted regular terra-cotta gardening pots (the really inexpensive kind) with a coat of latex paint and then decorated them by adding designs in dots with a paint pen. Pretty easy and it makes a HUGE difference!

Great idea and I like how they used the taller pots. I only have the boring regular kind, but if I paint them, they would look 100% better and different. Would be cute to have the kids do some and put a plant in it and give to their teachers for end of the year. Hmmmm. This idea is morphing into others!
PS I tagged you on a post today ;).

I love those pots...they are so so cute! I really like the simplicity of them and the fact that you could get creative with what design you put on them. Thanks for sharing!

Hope you've been having a great week!

If you want to plant in them, I recommend lining them with a plastic container just the right size. Terra cotta soaks up water and dries out the plants.
