I have a cedar colour house and want to paint some wood pots?

I want to paint some wood pots to fill with flowers. The pots will sit in gravel against the house which like I said is cedar.

I would either stain them to match the house, so the emphasis is on the flowers growing in the pots or


paint them the color of the trim or a contrasting color--possibly one of the colors of the flowers you are growing in them so the whole thing--pot and flowers--are an accent.





I have a Cedar house, too. I have 2 wooden planters, one on each side of the front door, that each contain a green shrub.


My planters were painted to match the shutters, not the house,


so they are more of an accent. The shrubs are just a little greenery, nothing bright to accent the house at this time.


We had a problem with bees by the front door when we had flowers in the boxes!





Good Luck!
Reply:Dark colors would look good against the cedar... I would say, either use the trim color on your house or go with something like a deep green or navy blue...
Reply:You can stain them cedar. Or they could be painted various colors to make them stand out. Either one would look great!!I like wild flowers in pots as well as in my garden. What ever you do will look great im sure!!! We do alot of crazy things in Canada.
