Make a Front-Porch Planter From Repurposed Furniture

This antique shaving stand now functions as a cheerful welcome to guests when lined with plants and other decor.

Stick with annuals that can be easily changed out to keep a bright, fresh look at the door.

Consider leaving the plants in their containers. If the shape doesn’t work for your drawers, transfer them to a container that can be easily moved in and out of the drawer. The bottom of a plastic milk jug with a few drainage holes works great.

If you will be watering the plants inside the drawers, consider lining the drawers with heavy plastic. Just a few staples should be enough to hold the plastic in place.
