Concrete Blocks to Planters

 

While removing an old dog run that was in our yard

we found a whole bunch of conrete blocks

underneath the gravel layer.

 

 

I immediately knew that they would be good for something.

 

 

They had obviously been used for other purposes before

as some had remains of white paint

while others had brown with turquoise peeking through.

 

 

So, the first step was to give them a fresh coat of paint.

I just used up some leftover paint we had kicking around.

I knew I wanted to make them into planters

and put them in front of the storage shed

that hubby had recently put up.

 

 

So I stacked them and filled the holes with dirt.

 

 

I then went hunting for some pansies

and finally found a few at a local greenhouse on clearance.

They were a little worse for wear but I figured

with a little TLC they would perk up.

 

 

And the little planters on each side of the door

just added that little extra touch it needed.

 

 

I do have some more plans for hubby's shed

but don't tell him that ;)
