Upcycled Thrifted Birdcage Summer Planter
June 07, 2018
Do you remember the teal birdcage I purchased back in February thrifting?
Since teal is not my color, I had to paint it!
I cleaned out the fake flowers, washed the birdcage and then brush painted it with watered down Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint in Linen White
.
I use 1/2 paint and 1/2 water for my whitewash.
I sealed my birdcage paint for outdoors with Minwax Water Based Helmsman Indoor/Outdoor Spar Urethane Aerosol in Satin

I pounded a large nail through the middle of the pail bottom for drainage.
I added some potting soil.
This is an annual rose baby's breath bedding plant.
This annual is on my underused-great annual list!
Most of the birdcage planters that I see on Pinterest are planted with succulents.
Annual baby's breath is a great alternative to succulents!
I think my birdcage is adorable!
I have displayed the birdcage planter on my pallet tray re-purposed from a thrift shop pallet sign.
This planter will need daily or twice daily watering!

What a beautiful design Carlene! The baby's breath looks marvelous in this vignette. :) Love the cage in white too.
