    I bought two large planters for on my patio...I wanted something different so when I saw these...I knew that I wanted them..

    I will have my husband measure how tall they are but I think they are 4 feet tall. I did do something I have never did before to a new item...I took some paint, red,black and brown and spattered it on them. You can see the red pretty good. I did it on all sides so every side looks different. I do plan on planting flowers in them as soon as the weather warms for annuals...something that will hang down the sides...I just love them..

    Nice Sherry... I like the paint idea. And if they were mine, I would sling more of it on there!

    4 feet tall - now that's BIG!!!! :eek: I love statement planters like yours Sherry but I agree with Kuntrygal I'd splatter more paint on them as it definately adds a touch of class. :stew1:
