I turned a pot into a flowerpot (ESP/ENG)

How are you friends? Today I would like to show you how I gave a second useful life to an old pot that I had around, it was damaged because at the bottom it had a little hole, on the other hand it had a plant that for some reason was getting ugly, it is a shade plant, that is, one of those that you should have inside the house, however from time to time you should put it a little while in the sun, but despite my care I could not make it look good, then, talking to someone, that person mentioned that I should change the pot, so I saw the perfect opportunity to make the plant look nice again and at the same time give a second life to that pot, which would make the space where I have it fill with more color. With just a few things we can redecorate spaces.

¿Cómo están amigos? Hoy me gustaría mostrarles como le di una segunda vida útil a una olla vieja que yo tenía por ahí, estaba dañada porque en el fondo tenía un huequito, por otra parte tenía una planta que por alguna razón se estaba poniendo fea, es una planta de sombra, es decir, de esas que debes tener dentro de la casa, sin embargo de vez en cuando debes ponerla un ratito al sol, además de darle su respectiva agua, pero a pesar de mis cuidados no lograba hacer que se viera bien, entonces, hablando con alguien, esa persona mencionó que debía cambiarla de maceta, así que vi la oportunidad perfecta para hacer que la plantita se viera linda otra vez y al mismo tiempo darle una segunda vida a esa olla, lo cuál haría que el espacio donde la tengo se llene de más color. Con pocas cosas podemos redecorar los espacios.

The first thing I did was to open more holes (apart from the one I already had) in the base of the pot so that the soil and the plant could have a drainage, I also painted the entire outside, for that I used a mustard colored paint that also had a slight ocher tone, with which it would have even more of a pot appearance.

Then I started to paint some details like flowers, for that I used a pencil first to draw the petals and then I used a brush and cold pink and white paint.

Obviously this is not necessary but I love this kind of activities, firstly because it relaxes me, and secondly because I think it looks much nicer this way, it will decorate our living room much more, it will give it more life and color.

I then applied a coat of black paint to the base of the pot to give it a better finish.

And ready, just as it was, now we just need to do the replanting and you will see how we are going to beautify that corner of the house.

Look how beautiful it looks, I took the opportunity to remove all the dead branches and leaves, now it is going to decorate my living room, instead it looked sad and dull with that old pot.

Indeed, I took it to the living room and see how it looks, it looks totally different, you can tell that the plant liked its make over 😄.

Look at the difference between how it looked before and how it looks now, I took the opportunity to rearrange it so that the leaves were not so fallen, this will help her feel more comfortable, but also the design stands out, it attracts attention when you see it, instead it was very monotonous before. Sometimes we can give our home a refreshment with small changes like this, it is an activity that entertains us and at the same time we bring warmth and a new face to any space in our home.

And well, this was all for today, thank you very much for letting me share with you this simple home decor idea, I hope you liked it, I send you kisses and hugs. see you another time, God willing.
