chalk paint projects for the garden

We just finished having the whole outside of our house painted.

After years of living in a beigy tan house,

we decided to choose soft white for most of the house,

with “pigeon grey”  and black as accent colors.

I LOVE how it turned out!

The look of a classic white house with

black shutters and trim has always been a style I love.

With such a clean slate, I'm motivated to add accessories

and furnishings that reflect a bit of California style,

incorprated with a  little European vibe.

Today, I updated some of my clay pots 
that I have displayed
in two different wrought iron pot holders.
The one above holds three small  clay pots 
with succulents planted in them.

Annie Sloan "Provence" chalk paint 
livens up these plain clay succulent pots.

I planted Echeveria agaoides ‘Lipstick’ in a couple of the pots.

Here's how it looks from the house.

The wall above is the side of our garden shed

with a pergola and vintage swing next to it.

We definitely needed some color on this wall!

These hot pink geraniums are amazing and so cheerful!

My favorite color "Florence" is perfect for the 

geranium pots in my wire window baskets.

I have two of these wire window baskets on my kitchen 
windows that now hold six pretty vibrant turquoise clay pots.
So easy to update and so fun to look at.
