I love clustering pretty pots and beautiful blooms on the green, metal étagère that sits in a corner in our back patio. Styling this plant stand is always a fun and satisfying project every year.
If you have been around here awhile, you’ve seen it many times before, but if you’re new here then I hope you enjoy this little corner of happiness!
I bought this étagère over 20 years ago, which I guess “technically” makes it vintage, from Gardener’s Eden. Do you guys remember Gardener’s Eden? I loved it! And I am sad it went out of business but with the transformation of the internet over the last few decades I guess there are plenty of other sources out there.
Anyway, the little étagère has moved around quite a bit over the years but it has found a home in this particular spot over the last few years.
Every year I choose a flower color palette to showcase and keep it cohesive. You can see other posts here{container gardening 2017} and here{container gardening delight}.
This year I chose a yellow and lavender color palette for the blooms. I kept the containers in the white and grays with the exception of my tin bread box, which has become the focal point. The chartreuse jar, which I painted years ago, is the pop of color to keep things interesting. ?
Many of the blooms are a daisy variety of flower. I love daisies! They are a happy flower to me plus Margarita was my mother’s name, which in Spanish means daisy.
All the plants and flowers I plant in this spot always seem very happy as long as I keep them watered. I think they get the right amount of shade and sunshine, making it a perfect little spot.
Did you notice the deer|buck|stag {not sure what to call it} hanging around? He’s new to this area this year. The metal floral French sign I had hanging in this spot has faded to the point that the image is almost totally washed away. I’ll have to reinvent the sign and I’ll share once I do.
In the meantime I’m digging Mr. Buck hanging around and taking care of my pretty blooms. I use it as Christmas | Winter decor but it needed something else to do the rest of the year. ? I like his new digs for now.
That’s it for today. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Memorial Day Holiday.
