Check out my concrete urns. These are cast-offs from the previous home owners and are hideous and white. I think that it was a bad choice to put white potters next to a white house with a light gray roof surrounded by a white fence, (one of the obvious bad choices the previous owners seemed to make). Its so unappealing, I thought about dumping them somewhere, but when the siding blew off the house and we had the prospect of new pale yellow siding my first thought was to warm them up.

I found terra cotta spray paint at a craft store but noticed it was about 3-4 dollars cheaper at Lowes. Since there were plants in the potters already I wrapped them in paper and sprayed both the urns. The can barely covered two medium sized urns but then again the surface was awfully porous and it was windy the day I painted them. All in all I think they turned out nice, despite the fact they aren't exactly my style. With brighter flowers in them and better placement I think they may just brighten and cheer up the front of the house. The siding should be done this week. I'll post a better picture in front of the house when its looking pretty!
