Enterprising reader Nate Anderson, who contributed to our present uploader, impressed all people with a DIY mission that may have come straight out of a 1956 In type Mechanix: Marry an outdated washtub to hairpin desk legs and plant it as a lot as make an excellent midcentury fashionable mannequin planter.
This mission really started with trash-picking, which I need to call dumpster-diving, even when a dumpster is simply not involved. Sounds classier, don’t you suppose? Nate uploaded the {photograph} above, writing:
This spring I found a pair turquoise fiberglass laundry tubs curbside.
Then, he purchased ingenious:
Connected a few hairpin legs and I ended up with some personalized atomic planters. 🙂
I notably acknowledge how Bate assorted the height of the hairpin legs to create rather more drama. And he moreover is conscious of learn how to design a container yard: Tall stuff, flat stuff, and stuff that grows to brush down — correctly carried out!
Change: Initially, Nate was acknowledged as “thriller reader” in my weblog put up, because of he hadn’t included his establish with the uploaded photos. When he obtained right here forth to take his bow, I clicked over to his website online — Avocado Inexperienced — and guess what: No shock the least bit on the beautiful execution of this idea, because of Nate is a Registered Panorama Architect!
Thanks for this good idea, Nate, although I don’t perceive how many individuals are going to be so lucky as to hunt out scrumptious traditional turquoise fiberglass laundry tubs out on trash day! Nonetheless proper right here’s an idea: Use spray paint that’s made to paint plastic to get merely the retro color you want!
