I am a morning person. I like to get up early and workout, turn on the Today show (I tried GMA for a week, it just didn’t work out), and browse through my favorite blogs with coffee all before 8 a.m.! Apparently that is the old me. Currently I am a night owl, up until

It’s Friday which always calls for a celebration! Whether you clink your glass at the end of the week with your favorite person or a gathering of people, it is always a good excuse (if you even need one) for cocktail hour. While inviting people up to the kitchen counter and passing drinks around the table is

White painted brick, black high-gloss front door, potted boxwoods galore, green velvet sofa, Calacatta marble in a white kitchen, and….Gracie wallpaper. I wish I

I am heading to The Sunshine State to enjoy some rest and relaxation at my parent’s home, and work on making The Potted Boxwood the best it can be! As many people head off to the beaches, lakes, and mountains to celebrate the Fourth, I thought I would share some patriotic images that evoke casual American

When summer comes around I feel the sudden need to edit my surroundings. From dishes to dish soap, I switch out the warmer tones to those that are more seasonally upbeat.  My faux fur blanket becomes an oversized turkish towel, and bright colors become more prominently placed.
