With our dream house build mostly out of the way, it is time to get back in the shop and make some sawdust. This time we are making two tall planters for the front porch. We decided on a tapered planter which has been done over and over again. However, we wanted to switch it up and go for a modern look with sharp clean lines. The problem is that most weather resistant woods (like cedar) are soft and have a lot of gaining that would show through the paint.
Since this is bare wood we needed to prime that planters first. For that we used a spray primer in gray since we were going with a black top coat.
We went with a black exterior paint with a satin finish. Paint not only gives the planter the color you want but it also protects from moisture getting into the wood. That means you will want to paint every surface, including the inside, bottom and feet.
We added feet to to the bottom pf the legs to keep the legs up off the ground. That way if there ever is water sitting on the ground, the wooden feet will not come into contact with it.

When remodeling our front porch, we had to remove our old mailbox and ended up covering the spot where it hung with our new privacy wall. With no great spot to hang the mailbox on the house, we started brainstorming other ideas. We loved this mailbox stand idea because it gives the whole design of the front yard a little depth. We hated the premade mailbox stands we found, so we decided to make our own with the same style and materials we were using on our privacy wall and new railing. We think it ended up giving us a nice, modern look, and it was super affordable compared to the prices charged for «modern» mailboxes or some premade mailbox stands.
