I love thrifting and came across these two black holders that were being used to store umbrellas. I drilled two holes on the bottom so I could use them as planters. Does this look absolutely ridiculous or could I pass? And what type of flowers/plants could you possibly see in them? I just can’t see myself spending $100 on a modern planter so when I saw those I thought I could make this work! I am located in North Texas.

I should preface, I am a first time homeowner of a 1960s townhome, the interior has been renovated and I haven’t been able to to start with the exterior. I would like to switch out the light to something more modern, so input on that would be greatly appreciated too!

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read
