It's the simple things in life that bring me joy. After JP constructed our beautiful custom potting shed last year, I put in my request for a pair of basic window boxes that I could fill with flowers. Of course, it wasn't a priority, but more like eye candy for me to peer at each day from our sun room window. Luckily, with his woodworking skills and a little time to devote to my "needs," he was able to make them this month! He painted them green, and I filled them with red petunias, purple lobelia and creeping jenny. Now, every time I glance out back, I get an extra dose of cheer! Thank you JP :-)

* Creeping Jenny & Purple Lobelia blooms begin to cascade over the edges of each window box... I just love these cheerful colors!
* Next on my list is to find some rusty salvaged elements that I can decorate the fronts of each box with and perhaps a wall ornament to live in between the two windows. I won't know what they may be until I find them!
* The stone path and "stage" as I call it was also created by JP which leads the eye and the foot to our fun potting shed...

Lucky you, everything is picture perfect! I just don't know where you find the time!? Are there elves we don't know about??

What a beautiful color combination! We're making plans for our garden and I keep coming back to this picture for inspiration. Is there any chance you could post all the paint colors you used? :)
