I am a big fan of upcycling old items to add something “new” to our house. I recently was able to gather a few vintage items from my grandmother’s old house. It is a special way to remember her and also to put to use the things that would be thrown away or sold. I turned a few vintage aluminum coffee pots into beautiful planters, and they add such a nice look to our bathrooms.

April is Earth Month and it’s a great way to get people thinking about recyling, upcycling, and making a switch to more eco-friendly products.

Upcycled Vintage Coffee Pot Planters

Luckily, my grandmother kept everything in great shape. The coffee pots I found were a little dusty, but all they needed was a quick rinse with water and they were good.

The first thing I did was removed the lids and inside parts. Of course, you could leave the lids intact, but there was a broken glass piece on top of mine that kept falling out, so I had to remove the lid.

I then collected rocks and placed them on the bottom of the coffee pot in one layer, for water drainage so the roots are not just sitting in water.

Next, I added potting soil. I had already purchased my plants, so I just filled the pots up to a certain level, added in my plants, and then filled around them with more potting soil.

I am so excited at how they turned out. The plants that I bought look great in our bathrooms and will also help purify the air.
