Window Box and Mirror.....

I have two thrifty finds for this weeks Thrifty Treasures hosted by Rhoda at Southern Hospitality. One of my thrifty treasures has gone through a little transformation and is perfect for Metamorphisis Monday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on a Porch.

First up, a free wrought iron wire window box given to me by a friend. It was rusting and needed to be sealed. The picture above is after a coat of primer. I then painted it white and I'm seriously regretting not painting it black. Hmmm....

After hanging it on the front porch I planted white vincas and pink impatiens. I had purchased larger plants, but I misjudged how much space there is. So, I went back to Home Depot and bought the little six packs. I had only a tiny bit of green spanish moss and threw it in just to see how it would look and I think it gives it a more finished look, so I'll have to buy more this week. The plants were the only thing I had to purchase; everything else I had. Total project cost: $24.46. I am anxious to see how it grows out!!!

Here is the thrifty find that I am most excited about. I found this beautiful antique mirror on Craigslist for $45. It is almost five feet tall and I love it!

Thanks to Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for hostessing Today's Thrifty Treasures and Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for hostessing Metamorphosis Monday. .
