Shabby Chic Bicycle


Hello Lovelies!
I simply adore cute old bicycles decorated up with plants and what nots!
Imagine my delight when my mom left this bike with me!
I could not resist adding a touch of pink up front with a pretty clay pot.
I have thought about painting it...but I kinda like it in the original condition.
It still rides well and my kids have a habit of hopping on it (display and all)
and toodling down the street on it!
~giggles~
This pretty in pink pot with plants that survived my
"green thumb" is enough to bring a smile to my face.
I am oh so ready for spring!
Gardening, planting, sweeping, fluffing and painting!
Oh the joys and hope of a new season!

  1. Olivia, I made hubby come see. He picked up a bicycle for me at the junk yard to paint for the garden. I love yours.
    Now I have to paint it.

    Have a lovely PS weekend ~

  2. Big smiles! I have a couple of those old bikes myself. They are so fun out in the yard and in the flower beds.

  7. Love that bike! I am with you--have been working in the gardens ever day--we have had nice weather for several days. But now they are saying rain and wind for a week. It sucks! I hope none of my blossoms get blown off! Well, that is Oregon for you.

  11. Hi Olvia,

    Seriously!!! You are killing me with that bike. I am on a quest for one and hopefully will get my hands on one I can paint Hot Pink for my front yard. What better way to accent my hot pink front door than a hot pink bicycle? Now where I will find one will be interesting. I'll have to make sure I check out Goodwill. I might even try to get a little girl's bike which would fit better in front of my small house.

    Thank you for inspiring me. HPS,

    Cathy

  15. Love, love, love your bike, Olivia
    I have an old bike my hubby found for me and I was going to paint it, too, but just left it as is....I am going to add some baskets to it with flowers and then I will post it....it is 64 degrees today, so I think spring is just around the corner...the spring flowers think so too, as they are up about four inches.!

    Hope you are feeling well, today!
