Materials

garage sale items (spray paint works wonders!), paint for fence

What was your inspiration?

The fence is old and I wanted to paint it to preserve it for a while longer. I had this vision in my head for a very long time and finally gave it a try!

What are you most proud of?

All the decorative items came from garage sales or free piles.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Think outside the box and have fun with it. I bought the ladder at a garage sale for $1. It was part of a bunkbed set. The wheel barrow also came from a garage sale for only a couple of dollars. It had a hole in it. That was fine with me because it made a drainage hole. Spray paint works wonders!

We can be sophisticated on the outside of the fence; but on the inside of the fence, our inner child can play! Thank you for sharing your artistic smile!
