Decorating With Enamelware Inside & Out
February 29, 2024
I pick up inexpensive enamelware at garage sales and thrift shops all the time. I find most of my enamelware for $5 to $10, sometimes less. Some are reproduction enamelware.
Pieces in excellent condition will not get drainage holes, but instead, become inside pieces.
Buying ceramic or terracotta flowerpots would be more expensive and would pose a winter storage hassle.
Enamelware works great for both indoor and outdoor planters, holiday decor, and farmhouse kitchens.

Coffeepots, teapots, and cups.
First of all, I drill drainage holes in the bottoms of all of my outdoor planters. Just like galvanized planters, my enamelware sits outside during our long cold winters.
To add interest to my oak barrel, I added three raised coffeepot planters here.
A fun coffee stencil from Old Sign Stencils was pounced on a large enamelware coffeepot here.
Two coffeepots in poor condition were stenciled with Boho stencils HERE.

More coffeepot planters on the old treehouse ladder. Nails hold enamelware cups too.
Nails in the rungs anchor the pots on the ladder. A center drainage hole fits over the nail.
An enamelware coffeepot adds plant softness and color among the rusty farm junk pieces.

This coffeepot is not stenciled, instead I chose to decorate it a decor transfer HERE.
