Window Planters

The house was very plan and needed some more color/plants, so I decided to add some windows planters. I could have just bought some at Walmart or Lowes, but I couldn't find just the right length or the same color and type so that all the windows planters would be the same. So I decided to make some wood planters myself. I'm not the greatest wood worker, but I did ok. It took me a while to decide what design and color scheme to go with, but I finally got done with the window planters.

Started with some 1x3s

I have stapled a trash bag liner on all planters I made to keep the soil & water off the wood to help make them last longer.

They are award winning, but I think they add a little. A little here and a little there will add up.
