How to Paint Flower Pots for the Porch

26.06.2023 - 08:41 / hometalk.com

It is time for planting our pretty flowers and I want to show you how to paint flower pots for your porch! There are so many ways to paint your flower pots but I had some leftover product from my Roman Clay Faux Finish in Black so I used it to coat my terra cotta pots and it is stunning!

I will be able to use it outdoors and bring it in if I want or need to because it goes with my interior design and my backyard patio decor as well! Win Win!

My friends from the Thrifty Style Team are joining me with some really cool projects today too! I linked all of their thrifty ideas at the bottom of this post! You can start with Angie at Postcards from the Ridge and her Budget Decorating ideas Here! Angie always has beautiful ideas!

I feel like everyone has old flower pots lying around. I know I do. I keep thinking, I can do something with that one. I like the shape of that one, I can definitely paint that to look better. Do you do that too?

Well, I finally had a brilliant idea for a large clay flower pot that I had in my garage with the tags still on it from Tuesday Mornings. I loved the shape but it was the bright orange terra cotta and it just never “went” with anything I have.

Like I said above, I had some leftover clay from the Faux Roman Clay Finish I did in my entryway and it was perfect for this year’s back porch makeover that I am getting ready to do. So here are the steps I took to paint these adorable flower pots!
