Jordan and Karen in the City: First Pinterest Inspired Project

Pinterest really taken a lot of my time,

however I am excited to say I have completed

ONE project inspired by Pinterest.

I LOVE my spring & summer flowers! When it comes to my flowers my husband says I love them more than I love him (not true, but this gives you an idea of my obsession with my flowers). On Pinterest, I think my GARDEN board is my largest board...

so completing a GARDEN project first is a given.

I went thrift store shopping a few weekends ago and

I had a list on my phone of what I was looking for.

It included but was not limited to:

Magazine Rack

Spice Rack

Cup/plate combo's

Old rake head

Old chair

Planter items

Desk/dresser for garden shelf.

You can see the following projects that inspired my list by viewing the following Pinterest items:

You get the idea, there was a project behind every item on my list.

So, what did I find while thrift shopping?

The following items: magazine rack, bowls, garbage, flower pots and a footstool.

My plan, turn everything into a planter!

I first started by priming all of the "planters" with 1-2-3 primer.

I wasn't sure if this was going to work because all of the items were different with different finishes. It seems to have worked, the true test will be this summer!

Then I went to the craft store and bought indoor/outdoor acrylic paint (best advice I could find on the interent) along with a spray on acrylic indoor/outdoor varnish.

Let the creativity begin!
