I have an easy project for you today turning an old cornice piece into a cute flower box!
I curbed this cornice piece years ago. It’s been hanging out in the garage just waiting for it’s “purpose”.
I cut it in half using my miter saw.
I did some measuring and some dry fitting trying to figure out how I wanted to put it all together. I used some 1×4’s.
I fastened it all together with Gorilla Wood Glue and my new nail gun. My old one finally bit the dust… I knew it was just a matter of time. I got my money out of it for sure. You can see the ABC Toy Box in the background.
I clamped two boards together and drew a bracket sort of line. I cut the curves with my jig saw.
I clamped the two pieces together to sand them at the same time.
I used my adjustable square to make sure the brackets were the same distance on both sides (on both boxes) I attached my brackets with the wood glue and the nail gun.
I sprayed my new flower boxes with some spray primer.
Then I gave them each a couple of quick coats of Krylon’s new ColorMaster Blue Ocean Breeze.
You can see how pretty the color is while they are hanging on the fence.
I staged them with some “too tall” marigolds. I love the way the yellow looks with the Blue Ocean Breeze.
So bright and cheery, don’t you think?
Oh, and I wanted to show you an updated photo of my flowerbed made from a headboard.
Another easy project d.o.n.e. With the big builds I’ve been doing, I’m enjoying these quickies!

Love em both. That flowerbed is so cheerful.
Adorable! Great job!
those are just great! love the color, too!
The cornice pieces make a great window box. What a fun shape!
These are all so cute…love the window box!!
Love this window box! We made our first project from our furniture factory wood–a “college cube.” I am going to post about it next week. But what I really need? Is a nail gun. It would make my life SO much easier.
love the fun shape this idea gives a window box- very cottage cute!
