Window box love. (Summer decorating ideas)

This post was most recently updated on September 23rd, 2019

Have I ever told you that I’m totally crazy about window boxes?  Well, if not, now you know. I love, love, love them. I think that if you could look up the definition of “pretty” in the home decorating dictionary, there’d be a photo of a window box!  

I’ve always had a thing for them, but I really fell in love with window boxes when we drove through rural France to attend our French friend’s wedding a decade ago.  Nearly every little cottage was adorned with a postcard-perfect one overflowing with happiness – just like you’d imagine it to be.

We stayed at the home of friend’s parents, and we had a view from our room of their pretty garden shed with a window box of flowers.  I remember thinking back then that, someday, I wanted to have a pretty garden shed in my yard too.  I know, I know, I dream big, don’t I?!?  Sheesh. You know you have a home decor problem when your 10-year plan involves a pretty garden shed with a window box, not a million dollar home in the Hollywood Hills. 😉

Well, we built a pretty nice shed a few years ago, and I’ve been itching to get to this project!

I’m so excited that today we finally installed one!  (Thanks for the help, Dad – as usual!)  It’s painted the same color as my turquoise blue doors, Martha Stewart Artesian Well (MSL 117).

 

The flowers still have a lot of growing to do – in fact, they really look quite sad right now.  But I have high hopes for them.  I’ll have to show you another pic once it gets fuller.

I can’t wait to fill it with all kinds of seasonal decor as the seasons change.  The possibilities are endless!

Now I can tick “Own a window box” off the bucket list, lol.  (I’m joking; well, OK, almost).

So do you have a thing for window boxes too?  Do you have one?  If so, let’s be window box friends :-).

Until next time,
