Window Flower Boxes...lets add a few


Today is Part 3 of our DIY Weekend Series


I am definitely ready to get started on this one!

 I absolutely LOVE flower boxes!

The house I am renting, is in dire need of a flower box!   I am definitely going to have to talk to my landlord because I have this ugly, huge picture window on the front of my house...that needs something!

So what do flower boxes bring to your home as far a curb appeal?

Window boxes add dimension to your house!   Is your house flat?   Does it lack character?   Does it need more COLOR?

This is a great option to bring character to a house and lots more color!

Window boxes are a simple architectural addition to any home that add a ton of curb appeal.

  They come all shapes, sizes, and many modern versions are self watering.

Do you want to make your own Window Flower box?

Create A Container Garden - Ready to Sell Series Part 2


google

Ready to Sell Series

Part 2

So how is everyone doing?   Its finally sunny here today!  


 (doing my little HAPPY dance...can you picture me?)


 It was a little frightening here yesterday...the wind was the worst I have seen it since living here in my BEAUTIFUL town of Grantsville!    

So today, its Part 2 of our DIY Weekend Series, Ready to Sell Series!   

So are you ready to get your front porch or entryway ready to say

WOW?  

There is nothing better to bring your house to life more than colorful & fresh greenery and flowers!    Whether you choose glazed pots, classic Terra cotta, hanging baskets, or dramatic urns, go with a container you love that also complements the style of your home.

Always think color, perhaps to complement your freshly painted door.


Your house will soon SCREAM 

Buy Me....BUY ME!

Take a quick visit to your local garden center to learn what flowers and plants will do well in your climate zone. 

Another great option is using topiaries or small trees in your container gardening pots.

When framing your front door, it usually looks best to place a small topiary or small trees on each side of your door way.

So what will you be doing in the very near future...for us here in Grantsville, I have to wait for the snow to decide to STOP!   and then I for sure want to plant some great container gardens for my front porch!
