Flower Boxes
What do you think? I'd like to add flower boxes to the top two windows and one to the bottom. How do you think it would look?
I am also thinking if I like the way it looks, to maybe place a nautical star in between the two center windows... not sure.
The only issue is my house is ivory sided and the window boxes comes in white, clay, black, red and green... ugh... not sure what color to get.
I'd do white if I had blue shutters... What do you think?

That's what I was thinking. My house feels flat. No peaks or porch. I feel it needs more character and dimension. Thanks !!

Re: Flower Boxes
i would do white since you can't get it to match the shutters. You can always find a paint to match it up and spray them but i think white would be nice. All of the windows.
As much as I am anti star i think it would work for your house and really look good.

Re: Flower Boxes
I think flower boxes would look lovely...also I think you could do white with current shutters you have too since the trim on the windows is white it would almost look like an extension of the window trim

I am really anti star too but I feel that it could make it look nice. White makes sense especially if I consider changing the shutters in the future.
They are nice but fading... maybe I can just paint them... hmm .

I've seen a ton online. I would think you can just measure and then put on the house. I've been looking into it a bit.. They are bit expensive but I am sure they are worth it !

Re: Flower Boxes
Webiste with beautiful window boxes A little pricey I think, but I have never bought these before. They are vinyl, so they might be worth the money so you don't have to paint them in the future. 
And I would go with White for sure.

Re: Flower Boxes
I hope this helps. I actually took the picture of the flower boxes from the site I just posted. They are white boxes, but look a little beige to me now. I hope this helps you and your DH decide. I think it looks gorgeous. Gives great dimension to the house and texture.

Re: Flower Boxes
LOVE my window boxes!
(they're copper)
We've had a number of random people stop as they were driving by to compliment them 
I would definitely recommend doing them - I think they would add a lot to your house.
