    I found this cute cart the other day and I instantly envisioned where it would go and how it would look.

    So off to hit the stores to find the pieces... three dollar stores, Big Lots, Garden Ridge, Lowe's and a rock yard.

    I must admit, it is just how I envisioned!

    And here is where it is situated.

    Very pretty, that just 'screams' Cheryl the Countess of Cute-ifcation. A very cheery Welcome Home greeting.

    Cheryl it's just how I imagined it looking when I first saw the picture of it. You've made it seem as though it belongs exactly where it is too. Well done.

    Cheryl, that is fantastic! I must admit I didn't envision or imagine anything like what you have, but then I am imagination deprived :'( .

    Thanks everybody. It really does brighten up that long drab gray wall.
    Hmmm.... wonder if that place has another one of those carts? :snicker:

    Thanks Tina.
    I need to find something else to keep it from rolling around. Maybe a couple small rocks?

    I liked it black but white really looks good with the plants in it. That's a job well done.

    Barb, it wasn't black, it was rusty wrought iron. So I got out a wire brush and cleaned it up before spray painting

    Thanks Frank. That would be a great job wouldn't it? :D
    Let's just hope that the plants like that location, it's on the south side of the house and gets sun most of the day.
