Another reason why I love blogging

... is that my husband has been getting involved! He is reviving his woodworking hobby with planter boxes we are custom designing.  He is on his fifth design and building them with lots of detail, like spraying the interiors with rubber seal paint (so they are watertight), priming and painting these beauties and adding various styles of hardware (Chinese, equestrian, etc.).  

     

I can envision ours in settings like these filled with hydrangeas, used indoors or out...

Custom Planter Boxes!

It's contagious! The decorating bug has attacked my husband.  He has not been known for being fiercely creative, although his wood working skills are really awesome. He was in on the sofa reupholster and is getting more involved all the time, which is a total 360 for him.  Here are the planter boxes he made me all from scrap wood he had in his shop.

 I am crazy about Oriental accents and hardware, so here is what I found online to adorn these. 

I have been looking for planters that could make more of an impact from the street and taller than what I've found retail. These are 15" x 15" x 21".

I can't wait 'til the nurseries open in the spring to get a perfect pair of plants for these.

He is making Bethany some for her birthday... We may be taking orders in the future...what do you think?

Any size, any color, any adornment...CUSTOM to the core.
