Cheap Facelift in a Difficult Economy

Flowers - hey, it's what country folk do to old, dilapidated
farm buildings and antique cream separators.

I'll take another pic in a few weeks when the
morning glories
start to bloom!



Isn't my steer pot the coolest?! Hubby got it for me. :)

  2. I love the color of the gray wall. Did you use a wash on it or is it authentic? I do love the steer pot too!

  4. Very pretty. I planted morning glories to climb my garden fence about 14 years ago. I still can't get rid of them. They come up all over the lawn and garden. They were very beautiful though. We used them for a backdrop and took lots of pictures.

  9. That steer pot rocks! Your flower colors just pop against the grey wall. You took some lovely photos, too.

    Nice looking blog lay out and colors now, too.

  13. Face Lift well done!! Nothing like dressing up an old building,watch the morning glories, you will have a field of them and I mean they will be every where but thats ok where you live. I think you should take more photos as the summer goes on and let us see how much the flowers grow and cover the wall.
    Our hubby's must be a lot alike,girl, mine does things like that too! Keep the photos coming!

  22. That all looks very cool to us - introducing colour and cheer!
    We stopped by your post before and there was nothing there!
    Not sure why but happy to see your pictures now.
    We look forward to seeing the planters again in a couple of weeks - they will be even more stunning!

  27. Great decorating-just the kind Mom likes.
    The flowers are beautiful but the piece of Chocolate is what puts the finishing touch on it.
