Planter Metal

Planter Metal
Has your significant other ever brought you a gift of items he found in a box in the Home Depot parking lot?

My husband came home with a box from the Home Depot parking lot, filled with the following:

1. a 24k gold plated swan planter
2. colorful fruit dessert plate and matching serving plate
3. simple white plate with floral design
4. two small wood and metal baskets for unknown purpose

He intends to sell the items at our future garage sale.

It's like a Golden Girl came through a time portal and left a 1980s time capsule.

Please let me know if you have ever found something.....unusual.

Thank you to all who answer. If you lost any of the above items, please let me know.

:)

You are so lucky! That was a very thoughtful offering….and it wasn't even Valentine's Day.

I think those items would fetch a handsome sum at a garage sale. Perhaps you could paint "Thank you for being my friend" on the dishware to increase the perceived value. You could fill the two small baskets with packets of Fancy Ketchup and sell them as gift baskets. I would sell the gold plated swan planter to Cash4Gold, and use that money to fund your dream vacation.

I have never hit the Home Depot parking lot jackpot like this, but one time I found a plastic horse head while taking a walk in my neighborhood. I use it when I need to remind people that it would be a mistake to wrong me.

As you can see, decks are quite fantastic. One of the single downsides to a deck is that adorning a deck and making it not so plain or tedious can be difficult. So for a better way to garnish your deck, try a deck planter. A deck planter enhance an element of flair and design on top of some privacy as they can be made tall or deep enough to shelter part of your deck. Deck planters are both good-looking and austere, and are a superb way to have a moment of outdoors a little closer, and make use of that as an ornamental aspect.

You can make a deck planter from just about anything, or they can be bought at a nursery or from a home improvement kind of store. Let's have a look at a few options of what you can use for deck planters:

* Use the pieces of old rain gutters and cut them to the length you want. For sure, it drove you crazy when dirt and leaves got stuck in your gutter, but it's only the fact that it holds those so nicely that enthused the idea of using them for deck planters. You can fold up and staple the ends. Also, an end of wood or metal can be constructed. In general, the gutter is semi-shallow, so seek some plants to fill it that don't need a deep root system. Paint your rain gutters if they are ugly, and if you are quite creative and talented you could even tole paint them for a country, domestic look.

* Slats of wood: A simple deck planter can be made with no use of any power tools by simply using some slats of wood and basic woodwork skills. If you lack these skills, you can simply visit a home improvement store and ask them for some help and advice. These wooden boxes can be greatly delightful. Redwood is one of the finest woods for deck planters. It's not only attractive, but it is pre-treated and doesn't require paint or stain, hence it is maintenance free.

* Odds and ends: Odds and end make a good deck planter. You can use wooden crates, metal bucket and bins to make a great deck planter. These items huddled together make a nice display, hold plants well and make any deck more cheerful and attractive.

Deck planters do not have to be limited to old-fashioned planter boxes, so make use of your imagination, creativity and anything you have lying around to make personal, fun and good deck planters that will make your neighbors green and your relatives talk.

With deck planters you will relish more in your deck space, and if you make the planters yourself it will give you something to be pleased of.
