Vintage Galvanized Tool Box Planter

I added a touch of vintage and elegance to my backyard with an awesome galvanized tool box that has some fabulous patina, filled with ivy and flowers and topped it off with a piece of my favorite china...a chipped Johnson Bros. platter serves as a colorful backdrop and adds a touch of elegant whimsy.

    I love the rust and patina on this vintage tool box and the soft green ivy makes a great textural contrast.

    Just lovely!! Do you plan to leave it on the bench? It appears to be the perfect size for your planter (stand).

    Yes Becky it will stay there as long as the bench holds up, it's getting kind of wonky but I can't toss it. I love willow furniture.
