potted boxwood

As promised, an update on the projects for the indents on the side of the fireplace. I purchased a pair of Dwarf English Boxwoods at Lowes for $6.98.

  As well as a pair of what I think are the coolest planters ever, on clearance for $11.95 New England Pottery 6-5/8"H x 7-1/2"W x 6-5/8"D Eggnog Clay Pot

  I transplanted my bushes into the pots, and centered them by adding  potting soil on the top and around the edges to keep them straight. 

 Plopped them on the mantle where I wanted them, and voila!

 It's really a never ending process, I'm sure it will stay looking like this for a week or so ;) But i was really excited to share it with everyone.
