As practical as a hose reel is, frankly it's just not that nice to look at. When I was making these planters for the side of our garage, I realized that because of their size, they would be a perfect place to hide the hose!

If you're looking for a quick project to brighten up your yard this summer, here's something to consider, especially if your water hose is just coiled up on the ground. I've seen similar ideas so I thought I'd try my hand at it and I love how this upcycle turned out!
I wanted my hose hanger to be bright and fun so I decided to spray paint the tire rim a glossy coral color. You can choose any color scheme--have fun with it!
To go along with my bright, fun color scheme, I painted the post with a lime green Behr exterior paint I had on hand called «Margarita». I feel like it screamed SUMMER!
How fun are these colors?! Our water hose is black so I thought of watermelons when I saw these coral and lime green colors.
Next, I used a DeWalt drill to create a starter hole on the post. I only drilled about 2" into the post. DON'T DRILL ALL THE WAY THROUGH!
Then, I slide a 1/2" washer onto the lug screw…
and inserted the screw into the starter hole on the post.
Finally, I used a hex drive socket on my drill to drive the lag screw into the post which secured the tire rim onto the post.
*Note: My supply list shows 2 lag screws but I ended up only using 1.
At last, I dug a hole where I wanted my water hose post to be. The hole ended up being about a foot deep.
Once the hole was dug, I held the post in it while my brother (he flew up from NC to visit for the weekend so I put him to work) filled in the hole.
*If you want extra security for your post, feel free to mix up some concrete and pour into the hole before inserting the post.
If decide not to make your post permanent by adding concrete, you'll need a tamper to keep your post stationery...that's what Rob and I agreed to do for ours.
Because I can be a bit meticulous, I went back and

As a born and raised Missourian, any plant with my home state in the name immediately earns my endearment.But even for folks raised outside of the Show Me State,
I went to an all town garage sale and found a bunch of fun candle holders to upcycle into solar light creations!
I wanted to repurpose my garden hoses. I had 2 that were no longer good for using as hoses. The heavy duty one sprung a leak and the light duty one kept kinking up when I tried to use it for watering. I kept the broken hoses because there are a lot of things you can use them for to repurpose. I planned on turning them into a plant trellis using a left over wooden upright from my garage shelf renovation as the trellis frame.
Everyone loves Primula Vulgaris. Our native Primrose has possibly been the subject of fellow bloggers more often than any other plant.
If you want to make your garden stand out, you must try designing these Hanging Tire Planters displayed below! It’s the best way to utilize the vertical space while adding a cheerful vibe to the place.
The thought of having a nice spruced-up lawn, garden, or landscape is always exciting and looks closer to the proverbial concept of “home sweet home”. It can’t get better than breathing fresh air amid thick and colorful shrubbery right in front of your property on long and lazy summer afternoons. But whenever we think about such neat and clean vegetation spaces, we don’t factor in the effort and sweat that goes into maintaining them.
If the swimming pool was a living organism, the pool pump would be its heart. A pool pump needs to function properly for the water in the swimming pool to remain clean and safe.
Cut a tire in half, paint it and install a cedar plank on top of it. Add the handle and eyes afterward to further decorate it. Have a look at the details here.
June 5th was National Donut Day, and all the motivation I needed to finally get around to making a donut tire swing like the ones I've seen on Pinterest.
Just last week I braked for a roadside freebie: a tire! I tossed it in my trunk and headed straight to the store for spray paint and rope! This DIY tire wing planter project was similar to one I'd seen years ago and I was ready to make it mine.
