The before picture I grabbed from the internet since I didn't take one. We had this outside for awhile but due to the sun bleaching ours the paint faded so it became a very light tan/white color...Anyway it sat outside so I cleaned it up and said..I love Halloween so...lets make it into a center peice, I just re painted it Halloween colors- added a little glitter (still need to gloss it though) and then I'll head to Michaels for Orange/Purple/Black plants to put inside of it.
