Now about all of the pots on this makeover…
After I store at Pottery World in Rocklin, I all the time cruise the sale strip first. This time I discovered 2 humongous cobalt blue pots for $200 every that have been initially $600. I discovered extra blue pots on nursery journeys with AP.
I purchased the terra cotta pots at Cottage Gardens throughout a February sale this yr.
In whole, I spent a price range of $3000 for pots. Gawd its enjoyable spending different peoples’ cash!
The pots actually do make this makeover work. They meet the consumer’s necessities and went past expectations. Moreover, after tearing out all of the timber and vegetation, the bottom had so many roots it will have been unattainable to take away them for brand new vegetation to be put in. (Have you ever ever tried digging a gap in Redwood roots?!) Pots are the reply to so many challenges.
In the middle of this set up, as typically occurs, the purchasers made an sudden request. They introduced out a bag of tiles—replicas from an previous church—and requested me, “Will you do one thing with these?”
Good Lord. A bag of tiles. Suppose, suppose, suppose! The purchasers needed them outside, so I wanted an utility that might stand up to cold and warm climate. Most significantly, the applying should not harm the treasured tiles.
My first concept was to make a touchdown outdoors the sliding glass doorways. However I laid them on the market and thought, “Nope…don’t like.”
Lastly I made a decision to set the tiles in an image body of lovely hardwood and grasp it on the newly painted fence. However how precisely to engineer that?
Oh, Miiiiike………
