There are so many ways to paint your flower pots, but I had some leftover product from my Roman Clay Faux Finish in Black, so I used it to coat my terra cotta pots, and it is stunning!

I will be able to use it outdoors and bring it in if I want or need to because it goes with my interior design and my backyard patio decor as well! Win Win!
