I had a very sad looking flower pot that had seen better days.
I love the three dimensional detail around the top, and it’s still very functional…but ugly. What to do?
Spray paint! (You can see I used a sanding block to get all the loose paint chips off, first.)
I got the idea to spray paint a flower pot to give it new life from this post by Love of Family & Home I pinned a while ago on my Pinterest Outdoors Board.
Believe it or not – this is my first spray paint project! I have been wanting to try one FOREVER but just haven’t had the time or the right project…but it was so easy, I think now I’m hooked!
After a two light coats of spray paint, this pot is looking MUCH better!
(It doesn’t look quite as bright in real life…that’s just from taking a picture in the bright sunlight as it was drying!)
Now, the question is…what should I plant in it? I am a CLUELESS gardener. It’s going on my deck, which gets full sun almost all day. Any suggestions?
I will post again once it’s full of beautiful flowers! And hopefully I won’t kill it…you’ll be happy to know that my front porch planter is still doing well…so far!

It’s a GREAT color! I’m already trying to think of what else I can use it on… :-)
Spray paint is addicting! :) your pot looks great!
I love that blue, I have three cans of it just sitting at home waiting. I would totally plant succulents in them. Home Depot had a workshop on them last month and I came home with tons of plants that only need watered every two weeks, love sun or shade and are gorgeous!
Plants that only need to be watered every 2 weeks are my kind of plants, haha! And I am already trying to think of something else I can paint that color blue…I love it!

What a fantastic transformation! The spray paint really brought new life to your flower pot. I love how you shared your process, especially for someone like me who’s never tried a spray paint project before. As for what to plant, how about some vibrant petunias or geraniums? They thrive in full sun and could really complement your beautifully painted pot. Looking forward to seeing your blooming creation soon!
What a fun transformation! I love how you gave new life to that sad flower pot with spray paint. It’s amazing how a simple change can make such a big difference. Can’t wait to see what you plant in it! 🌼
