Flower pot house numbers

by

I’ve been wanting to make these fun flower pots since I spotted them at Evangeline’s Vine last June. I was inspired.

While it would have been simple to do it then, I waited for a year. That’s how a roll.

But, I finally got around to it. Just simple spray painting and some vinyl decals, and voila! I didn’t have enough room for the “No.” pot, but I like it anyhow.

The lanterns were scooped up at IKEA on my ridiculous shopping spree. Don’t they look great?

Now, I know what my address is. (And, the entire Internet apparently. Call before you drop by, okay?)

Is anyone else inspired to get to painting?

  1. I real thankful to obtain this website on bing, what I became looking
    for : D too saved to bookmarks.

  2. I already knew your house number from my daily stalking drive-bys.

    I looooove this idea but I doubt I could have pulled it off as flawlessly as you did, my friend.

    I need to stop coming over here, it just makes me feel inafequate. At least I’ll still have my daily stalking to look forward to.

  4. I love that idea… I wonder if I can make room for those somewhere out front.. I have a TINY patio… hum…

    BTW I got a good laugh.. my MIL’s address is 42226 🙂

  5. Love this….and the red. Seeing all your Ikea finds is making me think we may need a side trip in Minnesota…..hmmmm.

  6. I could not believe how cute this looked on your porch. Oh, that neighborhood is gonna miss you!

  13. So fun! I was just thinking how I wanted to replace our house number and get flower pots for the front steps. Perfect! Where did you get the numbers?

  15. Adorable. Love the your choice of red – but then I LOVE red!

    I wish I could be painting. It’s been cold, winding and rainy for a week. My painting to-do-list is growing daily!

  19. How cute! I have been thinking of using vinyl numbers on our door for our house number. (Notice the thinking of, hmm maybe it will take me a year as well??) Thanks for the inspiration!

  20. I love these! I don’t have enough horizontal space to do this so I am thinking of doing the vertical planters in planters with the house numbers. {It was posted in “bloggie land” over the past couple of weeks.} I love your pots!

  24. The flowerpots are great Kim! The touches of red against the gray are SOO pretty. I saw somewhere in the blog universe “house number” pillows on a front porch. Do you think it would be overkill if I did both….’CAUSE I LOVE YOUR IDEA!!!

  28. Love the little pots. I am too paranoid to post my address on my blog with little pots, but that’s a cute idea. Your curb appeal is through the roof my dear! And yes, I was totally eyeing those lanterns at IKEA, but unfortunately I ran out of room in my suitcase. 🙁

  35. Um, I love this. You would do something this fabulous and beautiful. And the lanterns are wonderful, too. I have 1 year and 3 months until I live 30 minutes from an IKEA. Can’t flipping wait.

  36. Other people’s ideas are the best, aren’t they? And red lanterns at Ikea, you say? Hmmm, this may call for a trip there. Your house looks magazine-y right now, loooove it.
