Elevate Your Design With Chic Garden Containers

Home & Design
Written By Amanda Mertins

Flowers and plants are the real stars in our gardens and our homes. What’s an easy way to exponentially elevate their role in your design? A great pot, container, or vessel! 

Based on your design aesthetic you might choose stone or cement, or fiberlite (fiberglass), which looks like the real thing but is easy to move around without risking injury.

And if you don’t have a green thumb, we have remarkable faux flowers and pants, both loose and potted of all sizes, including UV-protected ones for outside. If you travel a lot or spend time at a second home, our no-care flowers and plants are a must!

Patina Polished Living was created 10 years ago by friends Amanda Mertins and Kimberly Weiler. 

Amanda Mertins was born in Ohio and graduated the University of Maryland with a degree in Economics. She started moving and editing furniture and accessories while in grade school and hasn’t stopped since. She enjoys baking desserts and playing with her grandchildren.

Kim Weiler was born in Pennsylvania and graduated the University of the Arts with a degree in graphic design. Upon graduating, she was immediately hired by one of her professors at the Katz Wheeler Design firm. She loves design, gardening, sweet tea and all French bulldogs.

Amanda and Kim are excellent complements to one another-one could even say the Yin and Yang of design. Being very different people but with interconnected forces is the reason their partnership continues to flourish.
