Window boxes around the house has been prominent, since we have a lot of windows. I made sure that every windows has it's own window box with flowering plants to compliment them. Making sure that the flowering plants are trimmed and well-watered are just some maintenance that I do from day to day. Although having all these plants inside and outside the house might be too exhausting to take care of but, the good thing is that I get to exercise everyday without leaving the house and paying extra in going to fitness gyms. These plants also also have very good effect not only on physical aspect but also on our mental outlook on life.
Every house in our neighborhood also have their own way of using window boxes. Some puts it in their patio, while others, hangs it in their veranda. It really depends where you want to place or display them. I remember, one of our neighbors invited us on their housewarming party. When I used their washroom, there I saw a beautiful window box with mixed bougainvillea vine arrangement. At first glance, I really though that flowers were real. I can't resist but to take a much closer look and feel the flowers to check. I was really amazed to find out that, it is an artificial mixed flowers and vines. I was fooled by my own eyes and laughed silently at myself. There are really numbers of ways in which we could use these window boxes as decoration at home. We can even use either live or faux plants to go with our window boxes. There is actually no limitations in creating your own style and design at home. It's up to you and your imagination, what place you want to present your guests with when they come by and visit.
Our life is also like a house full of windows. people can take a peek into our lives with these windows, but they would never know ho we really are until they enter our house.
