Project Planter Box

Decorating my own house gets pushed to the bottom of my to-do list ever since I started my design company. But before I get on that tangent, I'll skip to one of my most pressing complaints which is my front porch. So today as I passed through the door I decided seriously, I can't take it anymore. And since I'm looking- I might as well do a post about it.

So I'm looking for an orangerie box planter...

The Château de Versailles orange-tree box is a patented adaptation of the garden boxes created in 1670 by André Le Nôtre for the growing of orange-trees at the Château de Versailles under the reign of Louis XIV.

They are still for sale today, each one numbered and made at Jardins du Roi Soleil- and OH mon dieu, I cannot afford one therefore I will move on...right after these 3 photos.-  i mean c'mon. My house is so not worthy.

Or I could do a trough shape. (what I have now but too small)
