It added so much character to the front of the house. I’m truly in awe of what you’ve done with this house. So talented!

[@marylenhastings6533]

What a lovely addition to your windows! The flower boxes add charm!

[@julijopeterson7096]

So, I just have to tell you, I adore window flower boxes too. My colors are the purples, pinks, blues & light yellows and the plant stock becuz it smells so! good. It's fregrence will come right through your window & into your home, even my bedroom at night while sleeping & there's just nothing like it. So I plant the window boxes with all these gorgeous colors out on my deck. They're so pretty I just want to be out on the deck all the time. So I eat out there on the deck all the time. Read out there, am on the computer & and do my watercolor painting on the deck as well. Flowers just make you happy no matter what & it's great to have your face in their faces especially when you're planting them in the spring. I mean, could life be much better?! LOL. And then each spring I get to have the same pleasure and joy, as I'm sure every body else does, that also loves flowers. But for me then, the real topper on it was when I ran into a women that recognized me but I didn't know who told me she walks down my street just so she can look at my window boxes! I was really touched but just knew what flowers could do. I was happy they could give somebody else so much joy & happiness as they gave me & was glad they'd brightened someone else's days. I just thought I'd pass on this "happy flower" story to someone else who loves flowers & might understand.

The boxes turned out so beautiful! I love the colors you chose, they fit perfectly together. Your husband made a great job doing these baskets! The color of the basket turned out so nice, it gives a contrast to your home color. Thank you Amy for sharing! Big hug from Austria 🇦🇹🤗🤗

Hi, I am a new follower and have enjoyed watching your videos. I think the flower boxes turned out absolutely stunning. they add so much character and color to the outside of your home. The color of the boxes ties in so well with your wicker chairs. You and your husband are such a sweet couple and it is a pleasure for me to go back now and watch your older posts that I missed. Thank you for sharing.

[@lilymorales5922]

Amy!! Just stunning & gorgeous!! I love those window boxes. Love the white of the house, with the gray shutters & the beautiful dark brown windows boxes. Those flowers are gorgeous together; I was hoping you would give us a view from above🤗. LOVE IT!!! GORGEOUS!!! 🪴🌻🌿🌸🌱🌺🪴🌻🌿🌸🪴

[@joanndelise7292]

These flower boxes and flowers are beautiful. Looks lovely against your house.

[@sternschnuppe4668]

Hi Amy and Caleb, I think your window boxes are super beautiful, unique because you can't buy ones like that. Amy I wouldn't have dared paint these when they were already hanging on the white wall of the house. 😅 You have created such a beautiful home for your family. 🏡💕I wish you a wonderful summer. ☀️🌷Heartfelt greetings from Germany 🥰

[@AmyFritz]

Ha! I was pretty bold 😂❤️

[@sternschnuppe4668]

[@tammylewis6296]

Wow!! 🌸🌿🌼🪴 I love the window boxes. They made such a difference! You and Caleb need a DIY show. The flowers are sooo pretty. I love them all. I have creeping Jenny in my pots. It's so neat when it starts off.. Another one is creeping Charlie, love it! Excited for your garden tour.🌿🌸

[@thebergeronbungalow]

Been loving these garden content videos while learning a bit on the way. Thank you!

[@yarlettegebarowski5995]

Your window boxes turned out great. They look beautiful with your flowers in them . I can just imagine how they will look in a few weeks as everything really grows and fills the boxes and spill over the edges. You seem to really have a green thumb .

[@carlareeves2046]

House looks gorgeous. Flower boxes added the final touch. Love it.

[@MyBohoChicStyle]

Amy you and Caleb did an amazing job on the window boxes! Sooo beautiful!! XOXO, Tina 🌼🌷🌺🌹🌸

[@joycepryor9848]

Such a charming addition! It made beautiful more beautiful.

[@jeanieturner5183]

Looks amazing as everything you do does.

[@mariawilliams1314]

Your window boxes look wonderful up against your brick home and the flowers you picked out are just gorgeous! I can’t wait to see them and your whole garden later. 😊❤️🌻

[@kdlhome]

I love the window boxes, they look quite lovely. The color and design really compliment your home and the dark stain adds a nice contrast to the house color. I think the same concept would work well for the planters near your front door, spray painting the bottom of those pots (under the grapevine) a nice black/bronzy color would make them pop. Your yard and porch has really come a long way in just a short time, nice job.

[@jessieslay7422]

Loved your window boxes and the flowers you chose were beautiful. Can't wait to see them after they grow more.

[@HomeSweetHomewithLaura]

Turned out beautiful. Love the stained finish. I was waiting to see you tackle the second story staining job. I bet that was a pain.

[@irenetovar7756]

I live how it turned out, beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@kimhamburger6097]

Looks so beautiful.

[@tc2551]

So beautiful Amy. Just got a little tip that I did to my boxes. I caulked in between my window boxes and the frame just to keep the water from running down in between the window and the boxes to prevent rotting behind the boxes. 🤗♥️ Lots of love from North Carolina 💕

[@juanitatorres8165]

Wow, Amy!!!! This transformations really added more beauty to your beautiful, adorable home 🏡 You and your husband, awesome team work👍. God Bless you Amy and your family🙏

Those window boxes are just lovely and makes your home even more spectacular! You neighbors are going to want to hire you and your husband!

[@cindyhasty5663]

So beautiful love the color’s

[@SouthernBelleModesty]

Absolutely stunning 😍 You have an amazing eye of arrangement. I probably would have never combined all those plants and colors together. This has made me want to move more outside of my comfort zone and try more sizes and textures to create a stunning and yet still whimsical planter. Gorgeous Please update us in about a month when they have really settled in and start taking off! I can’t wait to see those creepers start pouring over the side 😍

[@Jessie20032]

Looks beautiful 😍 makes the house have that extra colour against the white 😊
