Apartment Therapy LA posted about SleepyHappy’s inspiring wall garden, made from spray-painted repurposed tin cans. As she notes in her photostream:
Pizza restaurants go through dozens of these cans every week, just ask.
Painted with rust paint these looked pretty good for two years, the third year I did touch ups on the rust that was showing.
Kinda toxic process – not recommended for edibles, but oh so gorgeous for flowers. Rust paint comes in a dozen colours these days!


How did you do this?
BTW, it looks absolutely gorgeous!!
Kind regards,
K:)
Nice i am saving cans right now
By rust paint, do you mean rustoleum? Or will any spraypaint do?
Nice i am olso saving cans right now!
I absolutely LOVE this! How did you attach them to the brick wall?
