hello DIY mid century planter

Hello friends!

I have been eyeing the gorgeous mid century planters at West Elm for a few weeks. Aren’t they amazing? Friday when I was at the thrift store I saw this yellow pot and thought the shaped looked a lot like the planter I’ve had my eye on. I felt inspired to I started looking around for some kind of a stand–and came across the black tea light holder. The bowl and the tea light holder were each $1.70–so I decided to give it a shot! scroll down for details.

It’s Monday–a brand new week with beauty to be found. How about some hellos?

  1. I like your bright yellow, home-styled pot! I had to look twice to see that it wasn’t the West Elm pot. What a great find/creation – Enjoy!

  2. I think, although, I could be wrong, that might have held a glass coffee pot. The tea light under kept it warm. I think! Happy find! Happy Monday!
