Want unique, tough planters that don't look like everyone else's? Go to a brick supplier, get some clay chimney flue liners, and let the creativity flow.
They're generally less expensive than terra-cotta pots, ranging in price from $7 to $15. You can paint them, too. When you're ready to plant, fill the liners with gravel for drainage and that way, they won't crack when they freeze. Leave about eight inches open at the top to add potting soil. You can also set plastic pots on top of the flue liners. Later, you'll be able to bring the containers indoors.

"A friend gave me this old light fixture recently that was originally a "spatterware" finish with a blue base and white splatter. Much like an enamel/porcelain swirl pattern. I gave it two layers of paint and then brought on the distressing with a clearcoat to seal it. I drilled holes in the glass insulators and mounted them with eye bolts that hold chain and used rabies tags. Hanging from the center is an old bell that gives a nice ding. Vintage garden faucet handles are mounted to the arms. It's ready for candles!!" - Brian GadgetSponge

Diana Turner, APLD, designed a fire bowl for the brick patio. The gas-powered fire bowl was made from a recycled 1930s propane tank, and the bowl is topped with recycled cobalt-blue glass. For metal fabrication of this, as well as the spiral land-art piece, gate and trellis, she worked with Everett Grondin, of DogLiX Designs.
“This was a truly collaborative project,” Turner says of the six-and-a-half-month journey. “Pamela has brilliant taste and came up with all kinds of ideas, and Everett can do anything with steel. He’s a true craftsman. And Mark took the photos. I can tell from the photos that he liked what he saw.”

"I constructed these little birdhouses from durable cedar and painted each one differently," says Pearl Ditch of Imperial, Missouri. "My husband, Paul, then helped me secure them to sturdy posts, which I'd decorated by painting flowers up the sides. "I also added house numbers on each post—one is our address and the other three are for our married children—before securing them onto a cement slab in our yard. They sure do help brighten things up!"
