Small Project, Big Impact:
The Finalized Flowerpot
Sometimes you seek out a project; sometimes a project finds you. And Dilara’s house-number flowerpot is a perfect example of the latter! She wasn’t looking for a new weekend project, but when she saw the flowerpot discarded in the brush, she knew she could make it into something fabulous.
With just a little elbow grease, a small vision and a few hours spent in the afternoon sun, Dilara was able to transform this forgotten piece of pottery into a memorable accent for her front porch.
Supplies:
Foam brush
All Surface Enamel Latex Primer
All Surface Enamel Latex Base in Heartthrob (SW 6866)
Small paintbrush

Small Project, Big Impact: The Final Step
Even though Heartthrob (SW 6866) added vibrancy to the flowerpot, the final step in this project is what really makes it special. Using a piece of chalk, Dilara outlined her house number onto the flowerpot’s surface. With a set of artist paintbrushes and some leftover white paint, she painted a bold “30,” and using the smallest brush to refine the rough edges and fill in any streaks, her house number was complete.

Small Project, Big Impact: Step 3
Dilara added two coats of All Surface Base inside and out using a 2-inch paintbrush. Wait till you see this gorgeous red once it’s dried!
