Today I just wanted to share with you a little project that began last summer that I finally completed about a month ago. When we were rebuilding the fence last year we ended up with some old fence posts lying around. Well, I decided to get a little creative.
I had been wanting an herb planter box for quite some time, so I finally decided to make my own. I have all of the pictures on how I actually made this, but they are on a SD card somewhere that I will have to locate. :) In the mean time I will show you what I did after I built it.
I painted it a cheery bright yellow that will stand out in the many cloudy dreary Oregon days of drizzle that we have. Then I tried wood burning for the first time ever. I think it turned out rather well.
I get to look at it out my kitchen window and love that I can go out and grab thyme, oregano, and chives whenever I want. <3

Good Morning Melissa, What a wonderful job you have made of this window box. It is fabulous that you have made it (as I am useless with wood and tools) but that you have also burned the wood. The pattern is gorgeous with lots of swirls and curls.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing how you created this window box.
Best Wishes
