Last year, I had an obsession with getting some flower boxes to hang below my back windows. I had a fantasy that I would have visions of Tuscany whilst I sipped tea and coffee in my breakfast nook. As promised, my husband built them and hung them for me and I enjoyed them all year long!!
The flower boxes were quite beautiful. I am very happy with how they turned out. I documented them throughout the year so I could share the update here since I was so obsessed with how beautiful they would turn out. Hanging the flower boxes actually made us take the storm windows off and wash the windows. It also made us figure out we could take the screen off from the inside, and water the flowers from inside the house....as using the water hose extension sometimes got my car all wet and didn't truly water the one that was farthest away. The unseasonably spring weather is making me very anxious and excited to get the flowers planted so I can enjoy them every day! The pictures below are SPRING, right after planting). SUMMER, full bloom! FALL, the mums were added and haven't bloomed quite yet in this picture.

Beautiful! It's the little things that mean so much. I have a brown thumb, edging toward black, but I love looking at other people's gorgeous plants!

I've had flower boxes on my spring to do list for about 5 years now! Seeing how simple and sweet yours turned out makes me feel like I can finally pull this off. Thanks for the inspiration!
