Spring Has Sprung: Painted Flower Pots
It’s true. Spring has sprung! And flowers are blooming everywhere I turn. Literally, driving on the highway I’m seeing gorgeous purple flowers in bloom. It’s my favorite part about Spring, that and sundresses 🙂
Over the weekend, I spent some time potting flowers for my front steps. It was so lovely to be outside in the sunshine. My mom and my little lady supervised while I did the dirty work. It was great quality time – the perfect way to spend beautiful weekend days…
Since I have a little bitty porch that doesn’t fit more than my door mat, I thought these painted flower pots would be perfect for the steps leading to the porch. I wanted something a little more colorful than your regular terra cotta planter so I painted them!
With a bright and bold color scheme in mind, I wanted these pots to really pop.
For a color block look, I spray painted them all gold, then taped them and painted one section with color. I love the coral, white, and green combo!
The coral is my favorite. It really pops.
I can’t tell you how happy these sweet flower pots make me. I seriously smile every time I walk up the steps to my front door.
And if there is anyone who likes these flowers more than me, it would be this girl… She absolutely loved sitting on the porch smelling the flowers. Which actually translates into picking off every little bloom. It was really fun just watching her new discovery.
One last look…
Now that I’ve got the planting bug I think I will get my vegetable seed starters in order this week. Stand by for that!
Now tell me, have you planted anything yet?
(And can I just quickly share a funny blogger moment: while taking these pictures to share here on the blog, my neighbors were going on a walk as a family as when she got to my house she looked at me so strangely and said “Oh I thought you were photographing your daughter.” Nope, just my plants! LOL)
Have a great day friends!!
I’m sharing this project with some of these great parties and Coastal Charm, Savvy Southern Style, DIY Show Off, I Should Be Mopping The Floor, Mom 4 Real, Inspire Me Please

i loooove the brightly colored pots! makes me think i should do something like this. it’s refreshing to see someone with the same itty bitty space problem as me. i just have my stairs, like you, anything else would get in the way of people walking or opening the door.

Just found your blog and love it. These pots are so pretty!
I finally got my act together and painted my own planters and posted about them on my blog (linking here to your awesome inspiration, of course). Just wanted to tell you and thank you again for the idea! : )

these are lovely! I have a question, I am trying to spray paint something that is an identical shape and I can’t seem to get it to tape off because it’s round and smaller/larger on each end. Did you tape these off to paint them, and if so do you have tips on how to best do that?
What type of paint did you use for the colors?
These are adorable! Love the color combos!
These are beautiful! Really want to give them a go
