DIY Vertical Planters (Workshop on April 11th!)
So, we finished the DIY planters and we added rock to our back patio! I had big plans of painting the planter all kinds of funky, and I did. And then I hated it. I’ll show you pictures, but first check out the final project. This is what I’ll be teaching y’all how to build at The Home Depot in South Austin at 1200 Home Depot Blvd on April 11th at 10am! This DIY Workshop is being held throughout the country at most Home Depot store locations. Click here and enter your zip code to find a workshop location near you.
I thought I wanted a little color in the backyard, so I painted some color block action on the front of each of my planters. I painted all 6 of the planters with varying yellow (left over from this project), turquoise, and white stripes. This is the only picture I took before deciding to do a last minute switch a roo. We installed the first 3 boxes and I just wan’t loving it. It looked too… kiddy? Something wasn’t right. So, for the top 3 boxes we just turned them around! We ended up un screwing the 8 board that I painted on the bottom 3 planters, turning them over, and screwing them back in. Which is why you see the black stamp on the 3 of the boards on the bottom planters. Welcome to wonderful world of DIY! I definitely wasted some time and paint painting the planters, but in the end I’m so happy we didn’t leave them like that.
Then Andy ripped out one row of bushes and we painted the free patio furniture.
And then we built a DIY planter and extended the patio! We still need to get another load of rocks to fill the last bit of dirt you see in the picture above, but it’s about 85% done! Oh and that big metal stick you see in the middle of the picture? That’s a sprinkle. It was that tall because of the bushes that used to be there. We need to cap off that sprinkle since we don’t need to water our rocks or cement.
