Spray paint is a great way to update decor items. Inexpensive & so EASY to do. *There are no rules when painting – as you can see in the finished square flower pot, spraying lighter towards the top made a gradation look since the original color was light.

Wine Bottle Plant Waterer | FrugElegance | www.frugelegance.com

Those watering globes were not working for me. They’re too small & a total pain to clear the soil, from the narrow neck, when you need to refill with more water. A wine bottle, decorated or not is a great way to self water. I went on a 4 day trip & came back to […]
