Pinspiration 15th – Interesting Planters

May 15, 2013 By Vidya 4 Comments

These days I haven’t been on Pinterest much. No particular reason why. I think I already have way too many pins. Realized it when I pinned something on one of my boards more than once! So now I pin only things that I absolutely love and like the rest. Still, Pinterest is a great place to find ideas as you just saw from my last post.

Since it is gardening season, why not look at some fun planters? Starting off with my latest crush!

Concrete human (usually Roman or Greek)  busts with holes in their head for plants.Won’t these look awesome on a sofa table with a full head of succulent hair? I’m currently on the look out for an affordable or even a DIY version. If you come across one do let me know. B doesn’t seem very convinced about the whole idea, thinks it is too spooky.

If you like the quirkiness of these busts then you will surely like this recycled BBQ grill! Instead of throwing your old grill away you can just paint and fill it up with your favorite plants. How cool is that?

Ok, moving on to more tame choices. How about an old suitcase? If you are afraid of messing up the suitcase instead of planting directly in it you could just lined it with pots.

I know you’ve seen this umpteen times but I really liked the plant combo (though I don’t know what the trailing plants are).

For traditionalists there is even a recycled fountain option. I think nowadays adding succulents to anything instantly updates your garden decor!

Speaking of succulents, ever thought about doing a succulent orb? The pin didn’t have instruction on how to make it. Some Googling did reveal this tutorial in case you are interested.

Any takers for these wonderful ideas?

    I love the head planters too. I would love one of those in my garden. The suitcase one looks too staged.

    Your trailers in the third image are amaranth-usually in red, so also called “love lies bleeding”-it’s easily grown from seed-I’ve seen it in green as well-amazon and Burpee carries the seed

Love this outdoor space with a beautiful red and blue outdoor decor with a flamingo pillow, metal tray side table, and loads of green plants

Finally the long overdue post, our new screened in porch reveal. This space has undoubtedly become our favorite room in the house now. To tell you the truth, I was against the idea of ripping apart our good size deck and replacing it with a screened in porch but B insisted that this was the…
