Sod Summer: Part 12

Unfortunately, the beautiful bougainvilleas that Tal and I 
planted last summer...

...didn't survive the winter:

Before I planted some new shrubs, I got this crazy idea to give the 
brown planters three coats of Rustoleum's Lagoon spray paint:

Yep, I painted them turquoise:

Inside the planters, Tal and I planted dwarf arborvitaes 
that are low-maintenance and stay green year-round:

I realize the turquoise planters might not be everyone's style, 
but I like how they make our home stand out (hopefully in a good way): 

Our neighborhood is filled with traditional brick homes, 
and our yellow wreath and turquoise planters make 
our home more colorful and contemporary:
