I've had this little garden bench for a few years now.  It's been fun to plant different things in it.  One year I tossed in a packet of wildflower seeds, another time it was herbs.




As you can see, it is now in need of a paint job.  So, like any good blogger, I got out the spray paint and went to work.



I was getting tired of the boring beige color and decided to try green this time.  I filled it with some bright pink impatiens and think it will look nice when they fill in. 



A little reminder to keep them watered can't hurt.  Our temperatures have been in the upper 80s and it doesn't take long for them to dry out.


I thought it was nice of my Kwanzan Cherry tree to bloom now.  My backyard is looking very pink right now.


Spring and Spray Paint ~ a winning combination.

  15. I love the color you painted the chair! Mine should have a sign saying: Please don't over water me." I tend to do the opposite of you!

  19. You take your same artistic decorating touches to the outside, as you have on the inside. Just so impressed with the way you add color and incorporate color to everything. I love how the "pink" reigns right now in your backyard. You are right when you stated the Spring and spray paint go together. That tree is beautiful!
