19. Black, white, and green

I love the simplicity of a eucalyptus wreath combined with potted green plants in concrete pots – especially when paired with black and white.

Because we had a chilly spring, I wasn’t able to place live plants outside until mid-May, but I still wanted to add a fresh, finished look to our front porch.

My solution was to use two faux boxwood topiary balls placed in tall black planters flanking our front door.  They added a much-needed pop of green to our entry — and, I’ll be able to use them again when the weather cools down in the fall.  (I put a few rocks in each topiary ball to keep them from blowing away.)

Last, but not least, I just had to share these glorious front porch flower pots in every shade of lavender.
