obsessed: versailles planters
I’ve been pining for a pair of oversize Versailles planters to flank my front door ever since we built our house six years ago. Their classic shape is so elegant and not only do they look amazing with a few coats of high gloss paint but they work in so many design styles, too. Sadly, a pair of these babies (or at least the ones I’ve seen and fallen in love with) can run close to the same as a monthly mortgage payment so I’ve settled for zinc lookalike urns made of fiberglass, instead. But oh, how these planters call to my ever loving heart:

I got a wild hair a few weeks ago to look online and see if I could find any decent plans to build my own and, much to my surprise, there were a bunch of pretty good ones! Here are a few that caught my eye:
Love this tutorial for a more traditional (short but wide) planter:
Another great DIY for a Restoration Hardware-inspired pair (I LOVE the ball finials!):
Love the pair Centional Girl built for her back porch! Her step-by-step instructions are so easy to follow:
I’m hoping to tackle a pair of these for my porch this weekend, so stay tuned to see which ones we go with! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
