Dressing Up the Porch

My friend gave me this great idea to use the storage ottoman/tables we had in our house as planters when the lids had seen better days. I'd been wanting boxwoods but didn't want to spend as much for some of the bigger ones. We ended up going to a great local nursery and getting two reasonably sized and priced plants. I got the Amish barn star at Gordman's on the tip from a friend. 

We also dressed up the front porch with some more planters - I'm especially liking the blackie potato vine and coleus - and now things are looking better. I love small improvements that make a big difference.
