Yes, this project merely started out with the need to refinish the 12+twelvemonth-old urn with almost dead ivy. Little did I know that it would become a full-blown afternoon of cleaning upwards our side entrance…..you know the one that all your family and friends use by the garage.

……the one that happens to look the worst.

Merely, this uncomplicated household chore of cleaning has grown into a few more projects.

Honey, you'd better kickoff resting that back! I've got a list of fun started!

I cleaned the urn and garden trellis pale. My married man had already removed the expressionless-looking ivy plant and tossed it. I had to remind him kindly to enquire me before he removed anything that looked bad in case I needed a earlier picture. It'southward kind of a joke in our family!

I sprayed the trellis with 2 coats of spray paint that I already had on hand.

After the urn was nice and dry from its cleaning, I sprayed it with 2 coats of spray pigment.

I used 1-1/2 cans of this hammered finish. It is fabulous!! It transformed the pot from ugly and discolored to similar new.

All that detail in the middle became a piddling lost with one color. And so I grabbed a tin of paint that I already had on hand in a grayness color suitable for outdoor utilise. I mixed it with just a touch of water to sparse it somewhat. I then used a foam castor to pigment all over the raised areas in the middle.

And so I immediately went back over it with a paper towel. I simply blotted and rubbed information technology off in areas. I ended up doing ii coats like this.

I too added the gray launder in other crevices on the pot. It'southward difficult to see in this photo, but around the bottom border. I like the contrast between the gloss and matte cease.

I then potted 3 Asian Jasmine.

These evergreen perennial vines should practise well in this sunny spot.

The vine volition look beautiful climbing my freshly painted trellis.

The green you see here on the physical is from the copper roof overhang above. It's pretty permanent.

That archway area is looking a little apparently. Think I'll be making a new wreath and a sign for that wall of cream siding. I told you more projects!
