Patio and Deck Border Using Planter Boxes & Grecian Urns

Patio and Deck Border Using Planter Boxes & Grecian Urns

If you don’t have a rail or edge built onto your deck or patio, you can always create the same effect, or go one better, using Unique Garden Planter Boxes and Grecian Urns.
Simply line the edges with matching garden planters, Grecian urns, simulating built-ins, or clusters or different sizes and shapes.
Just fill with a variety of plant life, including Tomatoes and Peppers and you have created a border and a fun garden you and friends can benefit from at the same time.

Just think of the possibilities here.

I personally, for instance, cut holes in my deck and inserted 18" Grecian Urns, for stability and the cool factor, and planted Tomatoes. Between each Grecian Urn, I placed a Planter Box with Peppers in them. I lined my entire deck this way, and got some of the best Vegetables I have ever grown, and I didn't have to deal with weeds or critters!....
It was great!

You could line the front porch with planter boxes with draping flowers in them, or place a Grecian Urn on both sides of the porch posts and plant a tall flower in the center with a draping flower around the edge, and the effect you get is gorgeous.

Spring is right around the corner and you can get as creative as you want with the right flower, and Planter combo this year. Don't forget about Statuary, Engraved Stones, and Fairy Houses! So come on..... Get Planning!

Simple Country Home and Garden Decor

With today's crazy schedules we all keep, its hard to unwind and relax. But by using a unique country home and garden decorating style, we can establish some peace and simplicity in our lives that seems to be lost, and with budgets crunching, decorating with simple and unique country home and garden products can relax the wallet as well.
But is it talent or a professionally taught skill that is used for country decorating and the ability to place country decorations and unique country accessories in "just the right places"?
I don't believe so!

Of course, there are benefits of having a natural talent for unique country home decorating, as for any style of home decorating for that matter. There are also clear advantages of being professionally taught to decorate.
However, the success of your home decorating projects lies in you, because your country home and garden decor is a compilation of your personality, cherished items, and simply using colors and things that you love. That's what makes it a unique country home and garden.
Your country home is just waiting to be created and admired by all of your guests. They will soon be leaving your Unique country home with several thoughts in mind...

"When can I go back?"

"How can I learn to decorate with unique country decor?"

"I want my house to look like that!"

"That was such an inviting and relaxing home!!!!"

You can tell them that a great place to start is right here.

In the home it could be as simple as a shelf with a few country jar candles and a primitive doll or two. Or maybe a nice flower arrangement in a decorative planter.

Out in the garden it could be as simple as adding a unique handcrafted fairy house and a few lawn and garden statuettes in the right places. You could also throw a etched stone or two near the entry or in the garden to display a warm welcome or to show some team spirit for that matter.
