  1. These are all fantastic ideas Deborah! I particularly love the magazine holder!

  2. Thank you Laurie! The possibilities really are endless!

  3. everything looks wonderful! I've even seen people use toilets...but that's a little too much for me. lol

    1. Haha, toilets, really? On second thought, why not! As long as they're clean ;)

    2. Yep, I've seen the planted toilet as well... :) In the right place and if it's clean... why not indeed?

  4. dude, I love that sink planter!

  5. Thank you for sharing your garden! :)
    I love the idea of creating a planter out of sinks, or tubs...

    Something I've noticed about putting the planters on a chair: the back of the chair can be used to filter the sunlight a little. This definitely helps my plants, since they can't handle sun all day but I still want them to be outside. :)

    1. So cute, you talk of your flowers as if they were pets! Our kindness should be transferred to our plants indeed.

    2. Yes, I found that worked well too... those little nasturtiums would have fried if they were out in the blazing sun with out a little shade! Sonya, of course they are pets...I call mine sprouts, beauties, little guy's etc...depending on the plant I'm talking to and my mood!

  6. wonderful ideas!

    thanks for posting:)

  7. The magazine holder is fabulous! Never would have thought to turn that into a planter, but it works perfectly.

    1. Here's how it happened.. I took it outside to spray it off with the hose and that's when it hit me it would make a cute planter! Glad you like it!
