I’ve always loved the look of rain chains. While they’re most often decorative, they can also serve a functional purpose of transporting rain water from gutters down to a storage container for reuse. This beautiful blue ombre version (#16 on our Top DIY Projects of All Time) of a rain chain uses tiny terra cotta pots and is a quick and easy project to tackle as spring comes around. Here’s hoping we have an early spring this year! xo, Grace
