Purdy I`ll pass on the bra tho I have numerous of those old wagon wheels scattered around my beds & long gravel driveway. I love them. The marbles are awesome. ------------------ Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. ~Rumi~ IP: Logged |

the first time the tub & bottle tree didn`t load. I want that tub. Better yet, a fantastic project for rainy days. Is it just broken glass and grout? I happen to know just where I can get the tub There`s a lot of the bottle trees around here. So many they`ve lost their appeal to me. That faccia planter is kinda creepy to me. Kinda like the empty headed people I know ------------------ Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. ~Rumi~ IP: Logged |

I like the old fashioned tub idea much better. LOL quote: I happen to know just where I can get the tub
OOO lucky you!!! Do it!! Yeah, probably just broken glass and grout. You could also get cheap glass tiles in all sorts of shapes at a home improvement store. I did, for a project I had in mind, but havent used them yet. Yeah, i'm on the fence about the faccia planter too. A bit odd. lol IP: Logged |

was just thinking....imagine an old tub, toilet and old fashioned sink set up together with flowers planted in them...... to look like an actual bathroom. actually sounds like it might look kind of cool.....if you were in a funky artsy area and wanted to go for a unique eye-catching look....people would definitely stop and stare...

see that coral colored cup up there?You could try to do something like that too.... if you were able to break the cups in half and put them on the side of the tub to be used as mini planters for herbs or something... IP: Logged |

Fantastic! What a grouping and a genuine eye popper I love mosaic. Second hand ashops provide the best glassware for cheap!

Thanks T. This is amazing and just a few things. I am so excited to do some things. It is weird that I am not that into my house and I am disorganized but in my garden I like it all organized and pretty. ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal

I love the barrel one with the bright colors. There are some pots on Amazon where you could simulate this look but I am not sure if I want it all earth tones that go with the environment or bright colors.I will link the pots ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire.
