Like I said a few posts ago when I shared my garden art,
I want more color in the back garden this year.
With that in mind, I decided to add some color to our faded wooden back fence.
I started with two stars I've had forever but no longer use.
They had Christmas scenes on them so I got some blue spray paint and covered that up.
A friend of Mr. B's does catering and she had given me a trash bag full of
large number 10 cans. I removed the labels of three of them
and spay painted them white.
I had 2 same-sized metal planters and they got a coat of pink spray paint.
I planted pink petunias in the two of the white cans and purple petunias in the third. The pink containers got white petunias and purple petunias.
Using screws, I attached them all on the wooden fence.
Evenly spaced? Close enough. Same height? Probably not but, I totally love the look of it!
Our wooden fence is now darn close to being as pretty as the rest of the garden
and all I had to buy were a couple of cans of spray paint!

Great job, I need to overcome my fear of spray paint, lol, as I have a couple of projects to do. xo
ReplyDeleteYou did jazz up your fence. Love your spray painted pots and the star.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! I've seen a ton of cute Pinterest fences...but I love yours the best so far!
ReplyDeleteKathe that is so darn cute! Love that you went with red, white and blue! Looks great on your fence and how clever to reuse those stars! It has been pouring rain here today so I've done nothing but hang out on the computer, nap and read. Perfect Sunday!
ReplyDeletehugs,

ReplyDeleteoh, and I just posted looking for some help with my blog... maybe you can offer some advice?
I really like how it turned out! Love some pops of color in our garden as well. :-)
ReplyDeletesaw this at a linky party, i love high impact, easy crafts like this. planning for when i have a garden
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I want to decorate our fence this year--great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love spray paint. I'm thinking to replace and add more bird houses to my fence. Those colors would look fabulous on my bird houses.
ReplyDeleteYou know what, I'm so insprired, I just put on my shoes and a little make up so I can head over to the craft store and pick up some inexpensive bird houses. :)for what it's worth
ReplyDeleteYou have just inspired me. I have this fence that is plain and dull. I am sure the neighbors hate looking at it as well. I can't wait to make a few trips to some yard sales, or thrift store to find some fun things to put on my fence. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. Will have to get some spray paint now, I have a couple gallon cans that I can use. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeletebetsy
Thanks for sharing that, I have the same blank fence in my yard. I'll have to copy you ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Wow fatastic!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun - love the result, and it kinda looks fun to do - one of those get-your-hands-dirty-but-not-too-hard projects!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing at Party In Polka Dots! You garden AND fence looks so pretty!

Wow, those colored cans really make the fence look great! What a great way to recycle those old coffee cans (are number 10 cans about the same size, they look to be). I better start saving mine, I have a little area of fence on the front of our house that could totally use this. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteGood stuff! I love that it's repurposed, and has your quirky feel to it. Makes me wish we had a wooden fence (we just have plastic ones, unfortunately).
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Now, if only I had a fence! Sharing on my Walking on Sunshine page! Thank you for linking up with Foodie Friends Friday!
ReplyDeleteWell Kathe aren't you clever! I love this. So cheerful and pretty and done of a budget. Thanks so much for joining us at Transformed Tuesday.

Clever idea! Your garden looks festive. Love the white picket edging.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the fence! I love it and may have to steal the idea. We just painted our house today and it will be finished up on monday, I can't wait to start using the flower bed!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at Foodie Friends Friday!
ReplyDeleteKathe, you really have brightened it up. What a great way to bring some color into your garden! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

I love it Kathe! Everything goes so great together..I really really love the flowers in the cans :) and the little white fence.
ReplyDeleteLove this look, Kathe! The stars turned out wonderfully! I appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursay,
ReplyDeleteKathy
your fence line looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCute! Aren't you the smart one painting the old stars! I'd probably have donated mine and then saw new ones painted and bought them! Duh... My fence is plastic but if I could find something to hang down that might work! I can hear my husband sign and see his eyes rolling now!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could get that kind of wood fence in Naples FL, but it takes a while to get that weathered look.
ReplyDeleteyet they are additionally winding up more famous for front gardens also. privacy fence
