Restoration Hardware Dupes // DIY Aged Planter Pot

[@jennhoff03]

Oh, this is 1000x better than most aging tutorials! Wow, what a difference.

[@rneustel388]

This is the best video of this type I’ve seen-four things needed-a pot, paint, sealer, and dirt-and one of those I don’t even have to pay for!! I’m subscribing.

[@ValerieAguiar]

Right!?! So glad to have you here! 💕

[@joannpellegrino3435]

My thoughts too! I always look to see what products the description says are needed before I even watch it. Defeats the purpose of diy if I have to spend a bunch of money on top of my time to recreate a look.

[@rneustel388]

@@joannpellegrino3435 So true!

[@merryaijlman7833]

I have watched several videos where someone has tried this technique. Your pot came out fabulous. It was the best one I have seen. ❤😊

[@ValerieAguiar]

Thank you!! :)

[@brookebrooks6224]

Seriously the best tutorial like this out there. It’s achieves a look that doesn’t seem DIY. Love the black, I’m going to try this on a white vase and see what happens!!

[@ValerieAguiar]

Hi Brooke! You're too kind! Let me know how it goes! 💕

[@terrytt2932]

As a retired ceramicist I thought, "that's a LOT of work". The end result is worth it! Thank you!!

[@ValerieAguiar]

Hi Terry! You are right... the end result is definitely worth the work!

[@valkyriesardo278]

Thank you. I recently salvaged a large plastic urn. It was half full with spray insulation foam so apparently once held an artificial plant. It already has a faux stone finish in a light mottled grey. I want to enhance that effect. I won't be able to use the local dirt because it is too organic. Maybe I can find some sand. I love your technique. I especially love your choice of olive branches. Those look perfect with your pot.

[@marcanthonyrodriguez3636]

it turned out gorgeous and 1000 years old looking . Job well done!

[@ValerieAguiar]

Thanks Marc!

[@anamariacambiaso5852]

I am so lucky I found you!!! I was so frustrated after checking the prices of the large terracotta pots I wanted in the internet. Then I explored painti g the planter but the options were expensive and not very attractive. I am heading to Home Depot for my pot and my spray paint. Thank you!!!!

[@libbylandscape3560]

This is gorgeous! Love how you did it and your clear instructions. Thanks. ❤️

[@cherylmacedo5521]

Looks authentic and truly amazing. Your “dirt” is perfect. I live in Virginia- red clay - not so good.....

[@ValerieAguiar]

Ah, yes! I've had people tell me the dirt they use isn't as easy to work with or doesn't look the same! I guess it's going to depend on where you're at, but I have seen people talk about (in the comments) work arounds that are just as good!

[@juliemonroe105]

I loved your transformation. Everyone I have watched on IG use mud and you really got the textured look that everyone seems to be after. And your vessel the shape is beautiful for this. I would love to see you do this in a cream and a color so we can see how it would work for different people's taste. Beautiful job

[@ValerieAguiar]

Thank you Julie! I debated between the cream and a black color but decided on black! I love the shape too, these pots were such a great deal at Home Depot!

[@pamelapomminville739]

Love the technique! I was wondering if I can do it for outdoor pots?

[@ValerieAguiar]

A few coats of the clear coat it should hold up for outside! I've seen some other's try this DIY for their outdoors and they've had great success! :)

[@helenamirian908]

Ohhh...that's a lot more work than what I do with plastic containers to achieve a similar effect. I paint them all over with caulk, pat on some sand, then lightly spray paint first a light color, then highlights of a darker color. These look nice and heavy!

[@alisonmary1443]

Definitely one of the best pot makeover I've seen, I may do this I may not but Thank you for sharing, I love it.

[@carlah5341]

@ValerieAguiar I love the pot that you made! I was wondering if you think this can be placed outside? will it withstand rain and sun or should I be sealing it with something special for outdoor use?

[@ValerieAguiar]

Hi Carla! I never used mine outside, but I would say your best bet would be to seal it with something that can withstand the weather! 💕

[@gottliebjs]

Was thinking about doing this to a lamp. Cream base and then the dirt.

[@AMcDub0708]

My piece was smooth like porcelain so I started with a mud rub over the black to build up some heavy texture. Then I lightly sprayed with black again (could’ve done clear) and then went in with the dry dirt method after that.

Thankyou for sharing that video It's great can I ask you about the clear spray used for these 9 layers is it transparent ?is that dirt used cement? Thank you so much

[@janetfarrelly282]

Oops put my question in the wrong place! Were you able to do this project in one day? I wonder how long you waited between each coat of spray. Thanks

[@ValerieAguiar]

Yes, it goes by pretty fast. The spray paint dries pretty fast (in warmer weather) Mine was probably a 3 hour project (mostly waiting time in between all of the coats)

Could I use this technique on a pot that is glazed? A friend gave me a beautiful shaped pot but it is glazed, except for the lip. Maybe if I rough sanded the glaze first?? Also did you finish by spraying on varnish one last time? The finished pot looks so matt and like there is no varnish.

how much time did you wait in between coats of clear spray? I don't think I waited long enough because the black paint start to peel off. But then if you wait too long the dirt won't stick. any suggestions? thank you for this video. Yours came out great, mine not so much

[@ValerieAguiar]

Hi Rita! I waited until the paint was completely dry. The dirt isn't necessarily supposed to stick to the pot, it's just to get into the crevices. The more layers of dirt and clear that you apply, the more of a textured look you will get. Hope this helps.❤️
