Trashcan Redo

So I was purusing Bed Bath and Beyond and they were clearancing their dorm life stuff and I stumbled across these uber cute trash cans for $5 each plus 20% off with coupon so a grand total of  $4.50 each. 

Now they were cute and all but they weren't really my colors and I don't need another trashcan. But then my mom chimed in ( in all her wisdom) "why don't you use them as planters"- GENIUS! So I bought 2 and ran home to find my spray paint. 

I used this color previously to paint a tray for the living room and had a can left. It covered 1.5 of the cans and I had to run to Lowe's and buy a second can. I probably spent about  $5 on paint. After a few coats I ended up with this (and a lovely yellow patch on my lawn): 

 So after picking up some mums at the local whole foods I styled the front porch with my new "planters" and wow does it look great!
