Terra Cotta Pot Decorating Ideas

I get so excited this time of year as I begin to see the garden sections and nurseries starting to fill with new merchandise for the spring. Even though it's still a bit early, some refreshing diy projects this time of year never hurt the anticipation of sunshine and warmer weather.

I can never have enough flowers once the spring weather allows – and as I like to have them scattered around everywhere, I can never have enough pots to go along with them. Terra Cotta flower pots are fairly inexpensive, compared to the faux plastic look-a-likes, and even though they are simple and plain there are plenty of ways to spice them up. This weeks Saturday Inspiration and Ideas takes a look at some planter project makeover's sure to have you rethinking the average clay based ceramics.
