Most of us look at our house posts as those things than simply hold up our porches or roofs. As part of the structure of our homes, they become invisible elements we look past every day. We pass them morning and night, going about our business without a second glance. And so they sit there, unloved and ignored—a sad and useless wasted space.
But some people look at house posts and wonder “Why aren’t
we using them for more?” They see a tall expanse and imagine a perfect platform
for beauty. Those people are Casa Linda residents Todd and Julie Price, creators
of the EP3 Planter, a new Kickstarter initiative that lets you give your lowly house
posts the love they deserve.
“We have 13 square posts on our own house,” said Todd.
“It’s crazy that we weren’t using them to create more curb appeal.”
Todd set about designing a planter that wrapped around
those square posts. And the resulting EP3 planter takes plants to “a whole new
level of awesome,” he says, though not with a totally straight face.
The pair is hoping to gain traction with a $10,000
Kickstarter campaign to fund their first production run.
“Kickstarter’s changed the way new products are brought to
market,” said Julie. “It’s leverages the voice of the consumer. We’re hoping
the consumer will speak up for us.”
