How To Age Terra Cotta Pots In 5 Minutes Or Less

August 8, 2016

I've always loved the look of age-old, time-worn terra cotta pots. But for them to achieve that look naturally, you need to keep them outside for a very long time and let nature take its course. Patience is not my strong suit, so I looked for a quick way to do it myself.

Farmhouse Sale French Wire Plant Stand

June 25, 2012

Last week I was lucky enough to find a white, chippy, shabby chic French wire plant stand, rust and all.  {Or "patina'd", as we French lovers like to say.}  I played around with PicMonkey and came up with this.

{For anyone whose interested, I used Sketchedy for this photo.}

I'm sure it was meant for holding lots of beautiful, perfectly aged terra cotta pots filled with fragrant blooms and trailing vines that last all summer long.  Unfortunately, I have an oh-so-black thumb.  So I guess I'll have to find other things to put in it instead.  Any suggestions?


 I do like my white enamelware pitcher and lavender blooms for now, though.


Look at that beautiful rust!


And the scroll work really caught my eye.




 I actually plan on using it indoors.  Maybe I can fill it with vintage linens? 


 I don't know....

What would you do?

Have a great week, friends.

xoxo
