Its no secret that I love plants and flowers and if you follow me on Instagram (@cosmopolitanclosets) you will see tons of posts on my flower arrangements and succulents! One thing I love doing is customizing ceramic pots to compliment my decor. Its super easy and affordable and all you need is the following:
1. Plant 2. Clay Pot 3. Paint 4. Brush 5. Tape
I typically buy the clay pots that I find at Home Depot (which you can find here), but they also sell them at Lowes, Walmart and most Florists. Once I have the pot in the size I want, I pick out a color. Instead of buying tons of paint, I buy samples of the colors I like, in any finish. The one pictured below is Behr paint in Caribbean Current. I absolutely love this color and it goes perfectly with my living room decor! I usually do 3 coats; a primer, the color and a sealer/gloss. I normally let the color dry for a few hours before I paint the gloss over it and then I let it dry overnight. Once its all dry, I add my dirt and my plant and I’m done! Its so simple. (If you want to do a design, just use tape as the guide.)
Check out the pics below and let me know what you think! Have you ever customized a plant pot?
