Textured Planter
I keep seeing beautifully textured white vases and planters online and in the stores (ahem Target). I personally can't justify $40+ on a small planter. So let's try to DIY one!
Hometalk Recommends!
Have had this planter from the -not dollar spot - at target for over a year. It's still very functional just not my colors anymore.
I mixed one part white paint to 1 part baking soda (actual measurements differ for your preferred texture). I painted the first coat on.
I then added some coarse black pepper for texture to the remaining paint. I used about a teaspoon- again whatever you prefer here! no rules

After the paint dried I used some wood stain to add some dimension and movement to the planter. I really like the aged look the stain gives it.
Here it is finished I used some rub n buff for the tray at the bottom and I love the contrast between the two. If you do this, be sure to seal the planter with a polyurethane spray. There is a video of this available on my instagram highlights "Textured Planter". Id love for you to follow me there for large diy, small diy, lifestyle, and recipes. @Beingjsmith

Love it! I like home decor projects, and this one sounds fun and budget-friendly. I recently looked up Modloft reviews for furniture and got inspired by their sleek, modern pieces. Adding a textured planter could totally tie the whole look together. I’m thinking of using some plaster or textured spray paint to create that expensive look without the high price tag.
