| Kilz the bowls and spray both inside and out with gloss paint. I used Rustoleum 2X coverage...in RED. |
 |
| Handy Hubby cut some oak branches and screwed the mushroom tops into the branches. I only have $3 invested in the salad bowls, so if they don't last for years and years...that's quite ok. |
 |
| Up close....now play around with the placement. (I painted the barrow, Lagoon, also Rustoleum, and drilled holes in the bottom of the barrow for drainage. I covered the holes with pottery shards to help with drainage.) Dirt and potting soil were then added. |
 |
| Make sure you really firm up the dirt around your mushrooms. Plantings were mostly Italian type herbs. I added some flowers and lavender and an assorted gnomes and a little bird. |
 |
| Promptly at 6:30 the next a.m., I, in my pj's and robe, attached vinyl dots. |
 |
| All that's left is to add mulch and a few pots of flowers around the bottom to hide that flat tire! |
 |
| While on a mushroom roll, I decided to take a broken planter and an unused birdbath bottom to make a larger mushroom...someone said "a fire hydrant!"...haha This morning promptly at 7:00 a.m. I filled my coffee cup and went out to survey. The mulch really looks nice. I would show you how nice but I am having trouble adding new pictures.. so just take my word for it, it's cute! Hope you are having a productive, peaceful day! ANGELA |
