Great collection, huggergirl. Love the cherubs. (had to go back to find the cat also)

All great art Huggergirl. Love the bright blue bird. Great job and fixing and painting the cherubs too!

Very pretty, Huggergirl! Though I'm not quite ready for Fall yet...

Tam, I like your new stacks ... especially the two matching ones. And I know you have more garden art. Luv it all!

Well Carole I still have all of them...LOL ..

One of my Bathroom fixtures...

I'm preparing to have the half-bath remodeled. The old toilet will go ... now I'm wondering if I'm game for putting it out in garden. I've always liked your sink there. Personally I think the toilet with the bowl and the tank planted would be very funky. Just don't know what my neighbors might say. Neither one of them gardens, so I'm not sure they would get it.

Tamara, your flowers filling the potty look pretty and disguise the fact that it is a potty. Another pot could even be added to the top of the tank!

I'm kind of funky but a toilet bowl usually looks tacky...Tamaras does not at all. BRAVO!!!!!

ENABLER ALERT for TEE:
Buy porcelain paint and decorate the potty, then add lots of flowers!

I think that's cause Tam's is an old sink, not a potty. That's my big hesitation too, Becky. It's very difficult to pull off the planted potty thingy just right. I guess I could have them separate the tank from the bowl and see what I might do with that. Just thinking out loud. I do hate to send things to the dump to live there forever, it seems, without some attempt to repurpose them.

ENABLER REPONSE: I like that idea!!

Tee, you'd think I would have noticed that it was a sink. No wonder I like it. Now I want one.

Okay, how about this:
Bury the bottom part of the potty in the ground so only the bowl shows.

Or just take it to the dump!

Ok....in an odd mood...think I need a nap! I like the idea of the tank being used as a planter as well as the bowl. You could build up around the potty with a raised flower bed (thus burying the bottom) with it setting in the center and call it the "throne" bed..
All my beds have to have names or descriptions!

Sheila, are you thinking to separate the bowl and tank and bury the bowl like that ... and then do something else with the tank? As I said, I hate to throw away things like this that I know are not biodegradable. I know they will smash them at the dump, but still, the pieces aren't readily biodegradable either. I really would like to repurpose it, if I can. I'm liking the idea of a "throne" bed.

I hadn't thought that far! Guess you could berm up to the bottom of the tank in back. It would have a drain hole but both would get very hot. Make sure you keep it in your back yard so you won't upset the neighbors!!

oh oh oh! Susie (Aguane) posted a tip recently about using bubble wrap to help keep planters cool!

Tamara, LOVE all your photos!

Unfortunately, one of my neighbors can see into that part of the backyard. But they aren't all that much into landscaping or outside all that much, so I don't think it will matter to them.

I read Aguane's tip. Good one.

If I knew mine would look as good as Tam's does, I wouldn't hesitate to do it.

On DG in 2007, there was a thread on Garden Design about a guy who had to take his privacy fence down on a corner because a neighbor complained. So he put a commode on the corner and decorated it, and then another, and another. The township took him to court in a zoning dispute. The neighbors rallied to his defense and filled the entire perimeter of his corner lot with toilets. All were decorated with flowers and balloons. I tried to find a link to the article about it, but it was too old I guess. Pretty funny, tho. Don't mess with people and their yard art!
