I absolutely love the look of this front entrance.  The combination of the black front door, the black iron lanterns and the boxwoods planted in those lovely urns create a feeling of elegance.  I am inspired to recreate my own urns at the moment as soccer balls coming from my sons' kicks seem to have destroyed my petunias currently planted in them. 

The stone walkway and steps are also stunning.....a project I also plan to take on with my house although that will have to wait for next year.  In the meantime, I will do my best to create an elegant entry to my home.  Off to source some beautiful boxwoods.......
