Window boxes are the underrated secret weapon of curb appeal. These seemingly simple additions are the perfect touch that makes your façade one that passers-by won’t forget. Here are some helpful tips for installing gorgeous window boxes, taking the outside of your home to the next level.
While most people avoid being too matchy-matchy for their home decor, with window boxes it’s fine and even recommended to coordinate with your house style. Spring for quality when it comes to containers, select a style that’s strong with good drainage, and never choose a box that will rust or rot. The container should also be as wide as the window you’re hanging it on for a cohesive look.
“You just want to make sure they pop from a distance, so go for lushness and plant enough flowers to fill and even overflow a bit,” said Normandy Director of Design Troy Pavelka. “Just be sure the flowers don’t end up blocking the view from inside your home.”
If you are looking to add spark to your house’s exterior or if you are planning more extensive changes to your home, you can set up a time with Troy to talk about the possibilities. You can also learn more about additions, kitchens or other remodeling projects at an upcoming workshop.

Everyone wants a bigger kitchen, right? So why not consider adding a vaulted ceiling to your plans? It will make your room feel much larger and spacious and give it an element of grandeur. A vaulted ceiling makes a room more visually interesting and will cap off your kitchen with pizazz.
Natural light lovers will enjoy this kind of ceiling as it will allow you to add extra or bigger windows and even skylights. The extra height makes a case for a dramatic hood or light fixture to draw your eye up and complete the style you are shooting for. Wood beams are another option that will add drama and great architectural detail to your space.
A pitched ceiling works for every style of kitchen from contemporary to traditional and many times can help tie two different styles together; creating a contrast that is eye catching. From top to bottom, every area of your kitchen can be an important factor in your design, so why not take your style to new heights with a vaulted ceiling.
