Vive La France - My window planter is complete

Do you have a jigsaw? Great then lets make a window box!

I had these teak shutters custom made for the windows - I ordered them in March I will mention time and again that some bespoke items take time, however Chris and I knocked up the planter box in a day, well to be fair, I drew it and shopped for materials and Chris my carpenter did the rest.

Later that evening I found my other half outside laughing - He finds it amusing, says it looks like we live in France. Vive La France! I say.
Don't you just love geraniums in window boxes.

Now I'm just waiting on the black and white striped eye lid awning. Will keep you posted!

Get the Look - Alfresco Dining

To achieve the look of this bountiful outdoor dining setting featured in British Homes and Gardens Magazine.

Try our Toron chairs and Teak dining table.

Toron chairs have the rustic patina of weathered cane but are actually an authentic looking synthetic cane designed for outdoor durability. The upholstery is also outdoor grade in a neautral offwhite fabric. For indoors there is also a natural wicker version.

Yes that is a deliberate slant on the leg of the solid teak table.
