Big Box Mystery Revealed
Today I’m going to end all your sleepless nights of wondering what was in this box I showed you last Thursday. So sorry I kept you in suspense all this time. (Why do I feel like this is one of those moments when I’m talking to someone I think is there only to look up & find I’m the only one in the room?)
Anyway, ’tis the season for outdoor decorating, fighting the crowds at the garden centers, & searching for that “just-right” hibiscus for the patio. That’s what I’ve been up to. Because the “thing” in the box was an 8-foot wrought iron window box for the front of my house. Oh, how I love window boxes!I had 3 of them at my old house, but this one took more flowers than all 3 of those combined. Seven hanging baskets & a couple 6-pack annuals later, here it is…
Yeah, they need some height. Check back with them in a month or so. You DO NOT WANT TO MISS my fabulous giveaway going on now. Click here!Linking up to these parties. Check them out!

It does a nice job of dressing up the front of your house, not that it needs much dressing up. It looks gorgeous!

It's beautiful the way it is now. I can only imagine it in a few weeks. Makes me eager to get my hands dirty doing some curb appeal! Thanks for the kick in the rear!

Those are awesome!! I love those types of window boxes. Somehow I'm not sure I'll be able to convince my hubby to have something like that…I might try though

Ah hah! Julie, I practically guessed it! 😉 My guess was "A big metal sculpture, French looking decor, window box, French flag (ha, Jk)" It IS a BIG metal sculpted, French looking, window box (minus the French flag). Too bad there wasn't a prize for guessing right! haha! It looks beautiful and yes, I'll admit it -I'm in love with your house!!!

I had window boxes on my home in Florida. I put lantana in them and they looked great after a few weeks.
We just hung some boxes on our two story part of our home but they don't have lantana out up here in Cincy yet. I think that it will look great draping down the garage.
Be sure and show us the boxes in a few months!
