Many of you have seen this idea floating around Pinterest.
I found these old pots on Big Trash Day (one of my favorite days of the month)! I knew they had big potential, but wasn't quite sure what for. Initially I was going to make a stacked flower pot, but that would require more work than I was willing to put into it.
Then it came to me...a birdbath!
I have been wanting a bird bath for quite some time. But I didn't want a stone one. I wanted a really pretty blue glazed one. But, I just cannot justify spending that much on something I will probably forget to use half of the time! Not at this point in my life anyway!
Initially I was going to paint it all different colors, but for some reason felt it would be way too much in the yard. So, I dialed it back a notch to this lovely Sherbet Green color. After painting it, I realized it was almost the original color of the house ~ hence the Green Birdbath (so many meanings).
It is amazing what Valspar Satin Everglade Glen spray paint (by the way, I love their new can design...one click and it is locked, and easy trigger) and E600 glue can do in one evening!
In case you aren't sure or can't tell. My birdbath consists of two pots turned upside down. I stacked and glued them. Next I added two saucers for height and then another big saucer left over from another project and voila!
I love it! It is a perfect accent for our front flower bed. It is amazing what you can do with other people's trash!

| Hard to believe this was the actual color of the house at one point! |
