White And Gold Painted Terra Cotta Pots by Pastels & Macarons #diy #terracottapots #paintedterracottapots #diypaintedterracottapots #paintedpots #whiteandgold #whiteandgoldpaintedterracottapots

Happy Hump Day Guys!

Today I’ve got a simple project that give any terra cotta pot the “wow” factor and adds very stylish and classy decor to any room in your home.

I’m currently decorating my guest bedroom and gold seems to be a big hit for this bedroom right now. I’ve decided to use Autumn as inspiration for my guest room and so I naturally feel gold is a bit of a must. I’ve been going a bit gold crazy lately so I have to be careful not to over do it but these tiny terra cotta pots are just the right amount of gold touch my guest bedroom needs.

When I set out to decorate the guest bedroom I had two main goals in mind; create a room that is warm and inviting and also give it a rustic, yet modern feel. It’s a fine balance as I want the room to flow and not clash in design. I set out to makeover some temporary bedside tables (while I hunt the internet and local stores for the “perfect bedside tables”). Then once I completed those I started to think about what extra touches I want to add to the room.

White And Gold Painted Terra Cotta Pots by Pastels & Macarons #diy #terracottapots #paintedterracottapots #diypaintedterracottapots #paintedpots #whiteandgold #whiteandgoldpaintedterracottapots
I love using accessories to decorate a room. I’m currently a renter so I have to be really cautious with how much I can hang on walls and if I can paint any walls to give the room a different look, so I use pretty cushions and decorating items to bring my home to life. I wanted some cute little accessories on one of the bedside tables because all it has on it currently is a lamp.

I wanted to add some plants to the room and I love cactuses lately. They’re adorable AND best part about them, minimal maintenance! Win! I’m all about minimal upkeep with two small toddlers running around the house I’m limited with time.

With all of this in mind I set out to create this quick and easy painted terra cotta pots project that took minimal time and effort.

White And Gold Painted Terra Cotta Pots

Materials
3 x Terra Cotta Pots (of your preferred size. I chose small)
Gold Spray Paint
White Spray Paint (or if like me you have run out of white, then a white primer will do also)
Painters Tape or Washi Tape
Dot Stickers
3 x Cactus Plants
Something to spray paint on like an old sheet or large piece of card stock.

White And Gold Painted Terra Cotta Pots by Pastels & Macarons #diy #terracottapots #paintedterracottapots #diypaintedterracottapots #paintedpots #whiteandgold #whiteandgoldpaintedterracottapots

Step 1. Begin by spray painting your pots. I painted two in white and one in gold as the base colors. Allow to dry.

White And Gold Painted Terra Cotta Pots by Pastels & Macarons #diy #terracottapots #paintedterracottapots #diypaintedterracottapots #paintedpots #whiteandgold #whiteandgoldpaintedterracottapots
Step 2. Place the washi tape or painters tape and dot stickers on your pots in the patterns you desire. I wanted one pot with dots, one with the top rim white and the body of the pot in gold and the third to have geometric lines.

Step 3. Continue by spray painting your pots over the tape and stickers you have just stuck onto your pots in the alternating colors you want on each pot. Allow to dry.

Step 4. Gently peel off your stickers and washi tape or painters tape to expose your final patterns. I love this step so you can see the finished product.

Step 5. Observe your creation! How pretty right!?! Now time to place your little cactuses into your pots and enjoy the prettiness you just created.

Such simplicity, yet so elegantly feminine and pretty I think! I love my little pots. Very happy with how they turned out.

Now if you’re wondering how I created the slightly sponged on gold paint look on on of the pots it was actually by accident. The gold paint of this pot was not completely dry (I was excited alright!) and so when I peeled off the washi tape this is what I had. I actually fell in love with the finish and decided not to fix my “mistake”. If you want this look then try doing the same as I did and don’t wait for it to completely dry or you can always go back with methylated spirits and sponge a little here and there until you get this look.

So there you have it! I hope you enjoy recreating my White And Gold Terra Painted Cotta Pots tutorial and fill your house up with lots of beautiful plants and cute painted pots.

    They are so sweet, and I love how you seem to have put the plants in them inside plastic pots . The painting will last so much longer of you don’t plant directly into the terracotta pots.

    These are so cute and look like expensive decor from the store!! And, I know I’ve told you this before, but I just love your photography! I used to be a photographer before blogging and still do shoots from time to time, so can spot well done photos a mile away and yours always catch my eye! I struggle with indoor photography of inanimate objects! It’s so much harder for me to tell a story with things that don’t have emotions or can smile back! 😉 And don’t get me started on low light and no wide angle lens… I need to pick your brain about your lighting setup! Ok, done nerding out! Thanks for sharing at Dream. Create. Inspire. Link!

      Samantha I am so sorry for such a late reply to this! Gah! Not sure how I missed replying to you. Haha at nerding out! Not nerding at all! Can you believe I don’t use any light kit at the moment! These particular photos I took outside on top of my outdoor dining table. Just sat the pots on a white board I purchased from a craft store and used my 50mm lense to shoot, then ran a filter through the images to increase brightness and exposure. I always shoot RAW as you would know so it’s much easier to edit lighting etc. I actually have no photography experience and just play around and have come to know where I get the best light on different times of the day around my house. Would love to one day take a photography course but for now I have way too much going on so really I need to pick YOUR brain about all things photography! 🙂 xx
