This was another one of those "Honey I have an idea" moments. I wanted to build something that would house my ugly plastic planters so I could have them on the deck. I came up with this design using some 1x4's, 2x2's and some leftover cedar planks.
I am by no means a builder but I thought I would give it a try. My first task was to build the box and then come up with the rest of it later, I figured if I had something to put it in the rest would come to me later lol. Once this was done I had to come up with an idea of how the legs would work and how to make this sturdy enough to not tip over.
I painted them with a nice bright blue and then gave them a white wash paint effect.
Each Planter box cost me $12.00, so not to shabby for a cute little item.
