Quick Fix: Urn It

I found these urns at my locally owned garden store for 40% off! They're ceramic and I really loved the shape:

BEFORE

The color though? Not so much. It makes me think this is what the "before" urns Eddie Ross blogged about in this post may have looked like.

A can of Rustoleum Cover Stain.

 AFTER


The black is only for Halloween (maybe).

What color should I paint them? Any ideas?

Nice! The black is very elegant :)

Where are you going to use them? The black is a nice contrast to the white trim on your house, but it seems a little flat. Maybe use another color to highlight the details.

BTW, your house looks great! I wondered about the blue, because I just couldn't picture it, but it looks really nice.

I think the black helps them stand out after your brick! If you are looking for something "fun", you could do orange or a rust color. Or even teal. Great find, though!
