Thanks everyone!!
The milk can is YEARS old, just remembered that I had it (of all things!) ... The chair originally came with a cute little table that I was (someday) gonna refinish. Never got around to that, but kept the chairs. I think that pot of flowers will look really cute in that chair.

Can’t wait to see all of your containers when you get them all finished. I love my pansies I wish I could keep them all summer but they can’t last. When their time is up you may want to try something like New Guinea impatiens they look great in containers and bloom all summer into fall.

Thanks Louise for the suggestion … but I think I get too much heat and sun for the New Guinea Impatiens, even though they take more sun than the “other” Impatiens. I may do some Wave Petunia’s, Zinnia’s and hmmmmm, not sure what else.

Thank you Bon … since I decided not to paint the milk jug … all my items are now ready to be put outside. Now just need the weather to cooperate so I can arrange and pot all my containers and baskets. Ohhhhh, I can’t wait.

Love the way the chair looks with the plant: it is really popping!!

That little chair seems to be a “hit” ... got lots of comments on it from the neighbors. Although I am waiting for the the little 2 year old cutie-pie next door to sit in it; she’s been “eyeing” it up!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!
