I’m still working on my garden, and had this gate sitting in my garage, just waiting to be turned into a flower box. my husband built the box and attached it to the gate—its huge 42” wide!
I spray painted the gate white and added the flowers. but, thought it needed something on the gate.
so, I went back to the garage and found an old piece wood. with my silhouette (a cutting machine), I cut a vinyl stencil out, using the font-LD red hatter’s hand. the words were stenciled and I hand painted the rose, and added the sign to the gate.
this was inspired by this sweet pin:)
that’s it for now—thanks for looking:)
Love it! The sign is perfect, the flower box on the gate is perfect, and the flowers are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Hugs ~ Mary
ReplyDeleteYou and your husband make a great team! How wonderful that you are able to work together and create such beautiful additions to your home and garden. It's so pretty! (Your right, the little sign is the perfect touch!)
ReplyDeleteYour flower box looks amazing! I love your little sign and hand painted flower. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs~
While I love the pinned picture, Lynn, I love the gate white! It looks so pretty with the pink and white petunias, which I'm sure will tumble over even more as the season moves on.
ReplyDeleteLove that garden gate with that window box.Those painted roses are the perfect finishing touch too.

This is gorgeous Lynn! I love the sign too and the white paint really adds the punch. Must say yours is nicer.
ReplyDeleteI love this! It's so shabby and perfect. I'd love to make one myself...great job!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
I really love this. It's so sweet. My favorite part is when you just ever so casually mention that you hand painted the rose. ;-) Just gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteOh I love!!!!! Gotta pin it! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteJanet said it first! You two make quite a team! Your planter is darling!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love all of the details.

ReplyDeleteCindy
I just love your flower box! The addition of the gate is so charming.
ReplyDeleteLynn-That is a really, really cute idea! I LOVE it! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThe gate planter is perfect! I have a twin to your gate that I placed in my garden, but your planter just may be my inspiration for something more interesting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove your gate with the sign and new flower box! I have a twin sister to your gate. Oh, I guess by the comment above, maybe more like a sextuplet. I also had the same style of gate that was big enough for a double headboard, but after the last time I tripped over it in the garage, it was sent to the country to live with our youngest daughter. I'm sure you would have done something wonderful with it. :@
ReplyDeleteI had some gate-love this week too. I just love yours with the wonderful window box! Cute sign too, you did a super job!
ReplyDeleteSo in love with your cottage creation you did with the gate and the planter....I host a garden party that starts up again next Thursday (May 3rd) would love to see you link up sometime? xoox, tracie
ReplyDeleteAnother cutie, Lynn. I saw gates like that used as headboards for twin beds on Pinterest. They really are eye-catching!
