Unexpected Beauties: Galvanized Tubs and a Pool Pump turned Planter

There are few things in this world I enjoy more than gardening and breathing new life into things that most people would consider old junk bound for the landfill. When I saw a stacked ...»
galvanized tub planter on Pinterest, I knew I had to make one of my own. We have old galvanized tubs sitting around our house that used to serve as dog bowls. I dragged them out of storage and drilled some drainage holes in them, then I used an old rusty piece of rebar to anchor them all together. After adding a little garden soil and some hosta, creeping jenny and purple moon torenia, I had myself a gorgeous piece of garden art. The previous owners of our house had replaced the pool pump and cut the sand filter in half to use as planters. I love that he was a repurposer, too! I got my husband to dig a shallow hole, and we buried the top half of the pool pump halfway in the ground but tipped at an angle to show off the flowers better. Filled with coleus and hosta, it makes the perfect end cap for my shady driveway border. Great for adding some #SummerStyle to my house!

If you like my ideas, I welcome you to come visit my blog and pin these images from the original source here: http://unskinnyboppy.com/2013/05/pinterest-i...

  • My toy dump truck used as a planter
  • I found the truck at a yard sale for $5
  • I added a layer of gravel in the bed of the truck
  • Followed by a thick layer of potting soil
  • Then planted my Limelight Japanese Stonecrop
  • And now I'm ready to haul my load!

  • The hood really stands out being painted the same color as the island against all the pine.
  • Here is a wide angle lens view of the entire kitchen.
  • The farmhouse sink has been a favorite.  It does scratch somewhat, but I'm OK with it.
  • We used 2 types of granite in the space.  I do find that lighter colored granite shows less in terms of fingerprints.
  • A local artist painted a French Country scene with all of our names within the painting.  The tiles were then fired to bake the finish. By using local, it really was not a major expense.
  • Great island space for homework, dining and projects.  Works as a great buffet table for entertaining.
  • The breakfast room is paneled in Cyprus paneling which was then painted in a watered down green wash.  The ceiling is paneled in stained pine.
  • I collect tole trays and lamps.
  • I'm still working on the area with "Bessie" the cow!
  • An antique dough bowl holds faux green apples.  The windows open onto the back screened porch.
  • An antique hutch found in NC on a long ago weekend getaway!
  • The inside of this hutch stores my cookbook collection.
