New Planters

For my father's funeral we came away with some beautiful plants. Plant One (on the left) from the School of Social Work at Wayne State, where I work, and Plant Two (on the right) from the Schell family. As you can tell the plants are gorgeous but they were also very quickly outgrowing their pots. So, Fred and I went in search of some new pots. I thought with it being off season, we might find some on clearance- I really didn't want to spend a whole lot of money doing this.




We ended up finding the planters above at Home Depot for $.01. Yup, that's right- $.01!!! Well they were not the right color for our dining room, so we bought too cans of accent spray paint for stone in a dark brown texture- and for only $8 a can we could live with that. We spray painted the planters, added some more potting soil and viola! New larger homes for the plants for only $16.02. Not too shabby!
