Planter Redux

I have been looking for planter pots like this for a while now and finally came across a pair at a garage sale last weekend for the bargain price of $15 ... much less than anything I had found before. Unfortunately, the minute I got them home, the base of one broke off and I am left with a lone soldier.

My original vision for high-gloss black went out the window after the 3rd coat. It just wasn't achieving the gloss I wanted and the whole thing looked too bulky and heavy. I thought about high-gloss white, but then suddenly had a "Judy moment" and decided to not be afraid of color. She would have gone bold, and so have I.

2 cans of spray paint + a top coat of gloss varnish and viola!

I need to decide on flowers, but I am thinking since Mom inspired the color, I might choose one of her favorites ... Peonies.
