always on the hunt for some window box inspiration...these are pretty sweet for end-of-summer...mine are a total disaster!

i have perfectly good windowboxes in the front of the house....good except for all the cute martha stewart green paint is flaking off. i know i want to buy really good, and probably expensive ones sometime but with all the yard stuff going on (big news on that to come) i thought maybe i could freshen up these old ones with a new coat of black paint. of course, scraping off the old paint was an necessary first step....done on my birthday and sick as a dog no less. they'll look great when they're done and filled with fabulous-ness!

i'm loving the new terrarium trend that seems to be everywhere these days...there's even a store here in Gowanus that specializes in terrariums and supplies (havent been yet). 
this is a particularly perfect project for me: i love gardening, adore 'little worlds' like this (especially my dads amazing train layout), mossy/tiny plants...plus it's winter and gardening is out... for a bit.
last weekend i bought this gorgeous, perfect, fabulous terrarium at Sprout in Williamsburg. i can't stop looking at it...and it just makes me smile. more on this topic to come....
