    Just finished the second coat of paint I decided to to change it up a little this time so some of the pots I've painted the rim only and others just the body and not the rim I think there look quite snazzy when there finished with the gloss clear coat :)

      Looking great, I love the colour! :dbgrtmb:

      What plants do you plan to put in them? And, will their colour compliment the pots? ;)

      How have your pots survived this wet (and now frosty) weather?

        I really love to see natural terracotta pots.
        But I must admit they look very modern and funky and I suppose there is no limit to the artistic flare that could be used.

          They all look as good as when they were first painted :)

          It helps that we are so far south I suppose but I haven't had any breakages and no chipped paint

          Even some of the pots which didn't get much of a clear coat are all fine.

            Excellent!! :thumbsup:

            Will you plant new plants in them this year or did you plant perennials in them?

            All perennial herbs but I think a couple of the more tender mints might not have made it so I shall have to see if they need renewing :)
