Fall Fairy Windowbox
It was time for a windowbox change here at Our Fairfield Home and Garden. Formerly lush summer plantings were becoming leggy and the blooms sporadic, so I wanted a transition into fall.

Rustic Winter ~ Our Fairfield Home and Garden
There’s a chill in the air, fall leaves are on the ground and it’s time to bring some rustic winter cheer to the outside of our home.

Recycled Window Picture Frame
Don’t pass by that discarded wooden window in the trash. Turn it into a Recycled Window Picture Frame! Old wooden windows can be repurposed into many wonderful, useful things.
