OK Peg, you asked for it. I made a collage of the pots that I've painted. I didn't have before photos, so described them. # 3 hadn't been planted yet, but I took a photo of that pot since that used to be a green plastic hanging basket.

I have quite a stash of thick plastic pots that I can paint.

Today, I was at Hobby Lobby and found several pretty colors of paint on the clearance rack for $1.79 each. Blue, Purple and Green. I'm sure I'll be able to find some old pots that will look good in those colors.

Paint is our friend! :-)

edited to add: I paint only what will be seen. No sense in painting the inside or the bottom of the pot, unless it would be something I'd actually hang. I have no place to hang anything, so I just didn't bother painting the bottoms. I paint about 2-3" down inside of the rim of the pot, then fill it up with soil and plant away.
