Keep your summer herb garden going all winter long with decorative flower pots

If you have a green thumb, the end of summer can feel a bit depressing, as your plants only have so much time on your deck or patio before the winter chill hits. Being able to enjoy fresh-cut flowers or herbs in your home may seem like a luxury reserved only for summer, but there's no reason why you can't move your operation indoors during the coming season. Of course, the simple clay pots and other vessels that you use outdoors may adhere to your home's interior design, but if you decide to tap into your creative side, you can make any flower pot a focal point of your abode's decorative scheme.

Whether you're planting an herb garden or an arrangement of budding blooms, a Color Garden Flower Pot Set could be a great choice for your home. This will allow you to arrange three small pots on a tray, which can enhance the dramatic effect of your plants and can be a fabulous choice for a living room centerpiece or a dining room table accent. Start by picking up a Home Decor Bisque Designs flower pot set and use a set of Signature Brushes to remove any traces of dust and debris. Next, use Duncan Concepts® Underglazes to paint the pots with a versatile base color.

Once your flower pots have dried, you can add brilliant color to the outside of your vessels with Crystals Glazes™ in Blueberry Bubble Gum will give the outside of the pots a bright and festive speckled design. When you're happy with your finished product, the last step is to coat your flower pots and base with Duncan® Pure Brilliance® Clear Glaze. This will enhance the colors on the outside of the pots and give them a dynamic shine that will improve their presentation.

With your flower pots ready to go, consider planting a few seasonal bulbs, start a new herb garden or look into a few intriguing winter flowers. This will give you the chance to fill your home with brilliant color and a cheery vibe, which can certainly help during the dreary months of winter. Best of all, with the holidays on the horizon and family and friends coming to visit throughout the coming months, you'll be able to show off your crafting creation and let your loved ones know that you still have your green thumb!
