the window box, my twist
Okay, it's really not my idea, but as I have been driving back and forth from my parents home to the beach, a pretty cottage with these great window ledges kept catching my eye.As soon as I saw them, I said, "I have to do that!" Well, 4 years later I've done it! Nothing like taking my time...
They are plainly window box brackets, with a 1x8x8 piece of wood, with terra cotta pots, which will be on top, varying in sizes. I screwed the brackets in, had the wood cut, and painted with an outdoor paint/sealer.
Of course, we are expecting snow here so I haven't set up my pots yet, (Blah!). I will be planting impatiens in the pots. I can't wait to see the pots bursting with colorful flowers and the look as a whole!

Hey, this is a great idea! Make sure your pots are heavy or weight them down w/ rocks so they won't blow over in a big storm. Can't wait to see the finished product.
