    One person commented that making base part darker will make it look like it has been sitting in dirt for ages. Good idea.

    Love this, Linda!! Several of my pots and planters were mildewy and dirty from Oregon winters, but not in an attractive, distressed fashion. I don't know why I hadn't thought of it, I'm an abstract painter and I also love to distress furniture pieces as well, but this video began a huge change and inspiration for me to take better control of the look of my garden areas. Refreshing/distressing the garden "furniture" by neutralizing the palette really created more cohesion. Also, I feel validated by your love of aging things, pots, baskets, fencing...I'm a long way off from new design goals, but I'm on my way. Thank you for sharing!!!

    Just had my son move the exact pot I’m going to do this to so I could pour out old potting soil full of weeds. Been looking for a new pot to suit me with no luck. It’s been right under my nose all along! Thank you for the inspiration!😎

    Hi Linda, I am loving all your daily videos, i watch every one of them and have even bought some new topiaries. I am in the south of England and we have been having unusually glorious weather for the past 10 weeks ... so unusual, so I've been able to spend so much time in the garden. Thanks for sharing everything, I love it all ❤️

    Excellent job on the faux finish! A tip for anyone attempting to replicate that white mineral deposit look of old terracotta is to randomly apply talcum powder to the pot surface when the paint reaches the tacky stage. It'll look just like natural efflorescence. 😊

    I live in a hot climate and those plastic pots work well. However, if you want to paint them, they will peel like crazy unless you give them a primer with a paint made for plastic. Then, after applying all of that paint she is painting them with, she must cover it with an exterior-grade clear top coat or it will fade and wash away in the rain, because she is not using exterior-grade paint. Remember, there is paint made for interior applications and paint made for exterior. If you unwisely use inside paint for the outside it will look cute today, but bad next year, unless the above preparations are done.

    • @Kate98755

    • @elenap3096
      @elenap3096 3 роки тому +1

      Or just get interior paint with primer in it. I live in Central Texas and have a few pots painted with oops paints I’ve found at Home Depot that have sat outside for over 7 years and still look great. Also I only use paints with a flat finish.

    Thanks again for another great video. I really have been enjoying my mornings watching one of your new video before going to work. BTW I dont have any concrete planters. So when I painted my planters to look faux concrete, I added some chucks of concrete mix here and there to my paint mix to add texture.

    A great way to create a beautiful patina on stone,concrete and terra cotta is YOGURT!
    The little microbes in it work wonders.
    Just water down the yogurt and paint it on,then,wait for the magic to happen.
    Works best on the north side of the house.
