I believe EVERYWHERE you go has inspiration....One day my friend and I were going to the wine store and this GORG planter was outside on of the shops....the BURLAP is what caught my eye (see I have these cone shaped metal planters that the dirt always sinks down TOO far into, the plants sink too far down into, etc SO I haven't used them in the last few years BUT this year I brought them out because I wanted to try them again!!) and when I saw this planter lined with burlap I KNEW it was the SOLUTION!!!
I am no stranger to trial and error...for example a few years ago at another house I had to get creative....It was fall, I got the hanging baskets and plants for UBER cheap the ONLY problem was I couldn't find the coco liners ANYWHERE at that time in the season....
SO I tried a vintage (plastic lined) valance I had gotten at the thrift store....
DEF better than just bare pots....
And LUCKILY I had enough to do BOTH!!!
So I took a close up....
Bought my burlap on sale with my coupon (so it was only 2.38 for a yard)
And VIOLA!!!! I now have designer- like hanging baskets for $2.38 - you couldn't even buy a SINGLE coco liner for that price (unless you found some at the dollar store - which is GREAT but I know for a fact too short for these particular baskets)
BEFORE and AFTER
Do YOU use burlap in your outdoor decor?!?!?
