You may remember from my previous post, while appearing on the Nate Berkus show Maya Angelou said,
"When people plant flowers in window boxes it means they are claiming their space."
"When people plant flowers in window boxes it means they are claiming their space."
Isn't that a lovely sentiment?
In keeping with that, Hubster built me a simple window box that I filled with pretty Fall flowers.
I suppose this means we've officially claimed our space.
We also hung a couple of black shutters to make the window pop a little.
Vintage shutters are on my wish list, but I'm waiting for just the right pair. Until then, these will hold their place.

Just the other side of that window is the bedroom that we've been making over. You can see the pretty window box from inside the bedroom. That post is coming soon.
Such a simple change, but didn't it punch things up a bit?

Just amazing the difference that the shutters and window box made. I love windowboxes but had a problem with ants in my impatiens. I'm going to have to try something else next year. Just linked up to the party, always love visiting!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow! What a difference the shutters make! I love your pretty window box, too! Are those some sort of daisies? Very cute!!

Just a few small things can make a home look loved and welcoming !
ReplyDeleteLaurie, it's amazing what just a few little things like the shutters and window box has made, it looks great. Now what I'm doing to punch things up around our home is moving everything out of the kitchen so the guys can get started on the remodel. Then the fun begins!

I love the change in your window, it changes the appearance of your house, making it pop more - the flowers and the shutters really added so much to the front view! I'm linked up; thanks for hostessing.
ReplyDeleteLove your shutters and window box! We have window boxes on our cottage too and they add so much charm! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteYour windowbox looks great, and so do your shutters! I always forget to water plants outside, so I gave up on having them. Now, I enjoy other people's. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

(LOVE the shutters)
I wholeheartedly agree! Anyone can have a generic shrub and bush but a woman who wants to make the nest her own uses flowers...to make the house and entrance sparkle!
ReplyDeleteWhy be generic...flowers make our homes blossom and bloom...and they welcome people in.
blessings,
Debbie
