Brightening Up The Front Flower Beds

 

I decided that my front flower beds needed some color.  They are doing great but they are all green. I intentionally have planted vinca, monkey grass, and boxwood that comes back year after year.

 

 

I dug around in my storage building and found this old chair.

 

 

I sprayed it with Rustoleum Primer in white.

 

 

Then I sprayed it with Rustoleum Aqua.

 

 

This paint covers so great!

 

 

John cut me a piece of Masonite to fit the seat.

 

 

I then layered my piece of Masonite, 1" foam rubber, 2 layers of thick batting and my red and white check heavy fabric.

 

 

I attached the seat to the chair.  I found an old vintage tablecloth and made a square pillow out of it.  I used red ball fringe around the edges.

 

 

I spray painted this old overnight case in a bright cherry red and filled with greenery and geraniums.  And yes, those are artificial geraniums.  I went to the garden centers and hunted for pretty geraniums.  We had a terrible storm this week and had high winds and hail.  It literally beat most of the flowers down.  So, live with it!!

 

So, in a couple of days and costing nothing, I turned my front flower bed into all green with a pop of color.

 

 

While I was hunting geraniums, I found this planter filled with pansies and greenery.  It was only $3.98 and doesn't it look great with my phlox?
