Kimba is having a garden party!



She got a new coat of green and I hung her up on the side fence to hold towels.

I got this decorative metal thingy at Hobby Lobby last year in their garden clearance for 90% off, but wasn't crazy about the color.

Our light fixture was in desperate need of a change out as well:

So, we changed it up a bit:

Love this color for outside.
Isn't this supposed to be a garden party? We do have a vegetable garden, and it's off to a pretty good start. The White House garden pales in comparison, don't you think? :) Er, minus a few hundred weeds or so...

So, if you have a real vegetable garden, is it okay to have a fake plant outside on your table?

Have a terrific Tuesday~
Oooo, I love the green! I would have never chose it on my own, but I really like the way the green pops against the fence and brick.
ReplyDeleteI used that exact color to paint a metal barn star for above our backdoor outside! It is a great color, and I love it on your new outdoor towel hanger. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI've got to get myself a can of paint. You've done wonders with that can of green!
ReplyDeleteWe are in the process of switching out our porch lights for new ones that are very similar to yours. I love the "decorative metal thingy" hanging under it, I just might have to copy that idea!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the green - it looks great! :)
ReplyDeleteGoodness sakes Melissa - you are so creative! I would have never thought to have hung that tray under the porch light! And what you did with the little hanger is such a great idea. Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

hey there... just wanted to let you know that I love your outdoor projects and am totally in love with your blog... very inspiring!!!
ReplyDeleteYou ooze with creativity. Thank you for sharing your great ideas.
ReplyDeleteAs one who has inflicted unforgivable pain upon numerous plants over the last few years, I say fake plants are *always* okay *anywhere* provided they look somewhat real and aren't covered with dust. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known the fern was fake!
ReplyDeleteGreat makeovers! I love me some Krylon, it RoCkS!
ReplyDeleteAnd, like others, I would have never known it was fake if you hadn't confessed!
The green looks fantastic! :o) And your garden is lovely!!
ReplyDeleteSincerely ~ Tricia Anne
I just love that you have a fake plant outside. You are my kind of "gardener"!!!
ReplyDeleteYour fake plants made me smile!
ReplyDeleteFake plants are absolutely acceptable outside. That's also where they are least likely to be detected as fake...
ReplyDeleteLove the green and totally giggling about the fake plant b/c I seriously thought about doing the same thing! :)
ReplyDeletei would have never picked that color, but it looks so nice on your accessories! Ha, and the old light fixture looked like a little witch's hat, so cute.. The new one rocks too :)
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love adding a coat of paint to something and completely changing the look! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove it all. That green is just great for outdoors. Love the towel rack. I think the fake plant is just great. : )
ReplyDeleteI love the green! Everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove your makeovers! :) The new towel rack was a good idea. :)
ReplyDeleteWeeds is what I grow best!!! We just planted our first garden & just harvested our first beans. I was so excited.
ReplyDeleteI love the pop of green on your outdoor accessories.
that looks so much better green!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that you are growing corn that I wouldn't even notice the fake plant.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Everything looks so pretty painted green. :)
ReplyDeleteI used that same color for some of my outdoor projects too. Love all that you did!
ReplyDeleteIsn't spray paint awesome, what a transformation on the Hobby Lobby piece, love it now!
ReplyDeleteLeAnn:)
Love the green paint. Hey the Hobby Lobby thing would look more awesome with a monogram on it of your last name..maybe in hot pink or orange..?
ReplyDeleteGreen is my favorite color, and I am LOVING those knobs. I have a can of that exact same spray paint. Now you've inspired me to see what I can paint with it!
ReplyDeleteReally cute projects. Thanks for visiting my blog. Happy Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteLovin that polka dot towel hanging off your green hanger....delish!
ReplyDeleteI love the funky green thing that you put by the light! I would have never thought to put it outside. Thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteYou rock-your ideas are the bomb!!!
This is great, Melissa. I really like the towel rack against the fence. Good repurpose! Kelly
ReplyDeleteLove that green! Hanging towels outside is a great idea. Love the polka dot one!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the spray paint. I am becoming fast friends with my little collection of spray paint cans.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun?
LOVE that green!
ReplyDeleteSpray paint is like a mama's magic wand! ;) Can't wait to see what you do to the other things you bought.
I love that color! I have a can of it just waiting for a project.
ReplyDeleteAnd it looks like your garden is off to a great start. Thanks for sharing!

Oh I love that color...I have been buying up spray since fall and have used many different colors...
ReplyDeleteI need to fix me a towl rack for outside cause I have a pool and all the beach towels get laid on my porch and sometimes they multiply pretty quick....thanks for sharing your project...love my garden just like you do yours.
You have such a great eye for design. Thanks for the photos of your home. It's almost like a mini "home tour". Thank you for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteI love your green hanger. You inspired me to do the same thing by my pool. Why didn't I think of that? I'm glad you did. Thanks for the wonderful idea. I posted the one I did on my site.
