Charming Shuttered Window with Window Boxes

This ocher stucco house has charming shutters and window boxes.  Even if you live in a house on street with no visible dirt, you still have flowers.

Plants in a Rustic Quaint Window

I love the rustic shutters and the plants in the window.  They crammed more potted flowers by suspending them on the bars.  

Cat in the Window

A calico cat sits in a shuttered window of rustic farmhouse near Saignon in Provence.

A Pair of Windows

One thing that I love about Provence, is how even something as simple as a window is much more than a window.

Here we have a pair of them. The smaller one has a plant in the sill, and a planter attached to the building below it. The big window has lovely lace curtains, and the utilitarian clothes line under it, holding a pair of socks and a dish towel.

Window, Shutters and Planters on Ochre

Even the slightest little ledge or window sill has planters with flowers to cheer up the ocher walls of this village house.

Wrought Iron Work

Wrought iron pieces appear on buildings all through Provence. This particular piece is a shutter hold. When shutters are opened, this device keeps them from slamming shut in the breeze.
