I spend a lot of time making the inside of our home look groovy, but I rarely (if ever) do anything to the outside. After installing my new Urban Mettle planter onto the front gate of my rental, I couldn’t believe I had waited so long to add a personal touch to the entrance to our home. Not only did it completely transform the look of the entrance, it actually beautified the whole block. Also, I will never underestimate the power of having something I love right in that threshold between the public and one’s private space again. The planter makes me smile every time I go through the front gate–which is huge. AND makes the numbers on the house actually visible–which is also huge because how annoying is it when house numbers are impossible to find!?
Urban Mettle is a father-daughter team. (How cute is that?!) Holly, an interior designer by trade designs the planters and her father welds them. Cool, right? Their collaboration and their Etsy shop are brand spankin’ new and I’m thrilled to be able to offer you all a chance to win one of these lovely planters that can come with or without your address numbers. ( One brilliant part of the design is that the numbers are magnetic–so if you move you can take the planter with you when you go to your next spot, and you can order new numbers for the new address.
So here’s what you do to win:
1. Head over to Urban Mettle and pin your favorite planter to one of your Pinterest Boards.
2. Come back here and leave a link to the URL of your pin in the comment section (please be not to be ‘anonymous’ in your comments.)
3. For additional entries, share your fave on twitter or facebook, then come back here and leave your URL-yadayada you know the drill. Leave up to three entries!
The retail value of this giveaway is $250. The giveaway will end on Tuesday, September 3rd at 11PM PST. The winner will be chosen at random. International entries are welcome but you will be responsible for your own Duties and Taxes should they apply. Good luck!
This post was created in partnership with Urban Mettle. Thank you for your continued support of the brands that hook me up, so I can hook you all up with content that hopefully doesn’t make you keel over in boredom. Also, all thoughts, experiences, photos, words, and kickassness are my own.

Love it! It looks so much better than simple numbers. Not sure I’d be allowed to drill holes into our big wooden gate though – I think our landlady might object to that… :-(
Can’t wait to get a house of my own!

Beautiful work!
Oh this is just perfect! We have rented a house and I am trying to beautify the little patio with lots of plants. I chose a small one so we can put our inside joke numbers instead of actual house numbers..
