Welcome Spring!
With the first day of Spring here, I always get in the mood for planting new things. Instead of running out and buying new pots and containers, look around your home or hit your favorite thrift store and repurpose. This is great for being green, decluttering your home {Spring cleaning}, and adding character to your yard and home!
Here are some fun ideas I found.
Colander, you can paint to match your decor from Inspire Bohemia
Photos in Mason jars by Style Me Pretty
Tea Cup and Pitcher from DIY Network
Old bottles from Belissima Vita Weddings
Rubber rain boots from Inspire Bohemia
Old school desk (turned upside down) as a planter holder by Better Homes and Gardens
Repurposed tea containers by The Micro Gardener
Shell planter by Poetic Home. Great for remembering your summer vacation.
Toolbox as a planter The Micro Gardener. The Micro Gardener has an article called Clever Plant Ideas, where you can find other great ideas. You can find it here http://themicrogardener.com/clever-plant-container-ideas/
What do you have in your garden or home that is repurposed? What do you enjoy growing? I would love to hear!

Thanks for sharing some of my pics Kari - I'm into repurposing in a BIG way and once you start thinking about new uses for old things, it's amazing how you see items differently ... 'trash' can become treasure with a little creative thinking! Being a more 'conscious consumer' also helps us tread more lightly on the planet. Happy spring planting.
Thank you, Anne. Great article on your blog! I love the idea of putting old things to new use. Thanks so much for leaving a comment!
