Dress Up Your Plants – in a Dresser!

May 25, 2012  Garden | My Projects | Uncategorized

Want a wow factor in your garden? I’m sharing how to repurpose a dresser into a planter that will be the talk of your garden. Giving my tips on painting and how to make the dresser weather the seasons. The perfect way to repurpose a vintage find for any gardener or green thumb. Dress up your plants with a dresser.

I painted and planted …

in the rain.

Talk about a bad hair day!

Pin It

All to get ready for our The Great Outdoors link party on Tuesday.

Remember my $6 Thrift Shop Dresser Score?

Well, she got a makeover – lip gloss, spanx and a shiny new tiara.

She’s even wearing her favorite Behr Peacock Blue dress …

and a chalkboard bird brooch.

Want one of your own?

The deets:

* Clean the dresser with TSP (thanks for the tip, Karen from Redoux)

* 2 coats of outdoor paint (I used Peacock Blue – Behr)

* Line drawers with plastic garbage bags using painters tape

* Punch a few holes thru the garbage bags and bottom of drawers for drainage.

* Put something heavy in the backs of the drawers (I used 3 bricks in each) so the drawers don’t tilt down.

* Fill with dirt and plant away.

Her bustier is filled with herbs and her swing skirt with geraniums.

    That is a great idea and a great color! I would love to have something to contribute to the party, but the weather has been miserable for the last week and now they’re calling for SNOW! I have a vintage, square pedestal sink I planted in the backyard and have been waiting to fill it with flowers. At this rate, maybe July?

I would have never thought to put the bricks in the back so the drawers wouldn’t fall out. That is a genius tip. I am gearing up to clean up my side patio so it is picture worthy for you the big link up party. Happy Memorial Day weekend!

    Did someone say SNOW! It is so oppressive hot here in Carolina that unless you get to working at six in the morning, your projects don’t dry and the plants wilt. Now there is a tropical storm coming – I really want that for the rain we need. Whine, whine, whine… I need to finish something. Miss Peacock Dresser is strutting her stuff. I love the matching milk box! By the way, how did it get to the end of May so soon?

    Thanks for stopping to leave a fun comment at Quirky Vistas about my plant dresser. My little guy is still on probation and I’m keeping the rascal away from the girls until he proves he’s rehabilitated! I think he’ll be a fine and upright match for your little lady one day. And my goodness, she’s quite the eye candy, and probably has a beautiful aroma with those herbs planted in her bustier. If the sandlot rascal saw her he’d be head over bedside table legs. Loved your description of her. So cute!

      The dresser was out in the elements all year – snow, rain – so it only made it one year. If you bring it inside or have a sheltered area, I’m sure it would last longer. Enjoy!
