Tuscan Window Box

You can use thee Tuscan Window Box outside your kitchen as herb planters. Creating a Tuscan kitchen Window Box is a great way to incorporate some Italian herbs and plants into your warm and inviting kitchen.

This Tuscan Kitchen Window Box project is easy to complete and will add a distinctly Tuscan flare to the windows in your kitchen.

The entire Tuscan Window Box project can be completed for under $50 depending on the size of your Window Box and how many Tuscan kitchen Window Boxes you will be painting. This is a great way to update your kitchen on a budget and create some custom Tuscan details.

Tuscan inspired colors are warm earth tones. They include colors like terra cotta, warm mustard yellows, earthy warm browns, glowing oranges with a hint of brown, and warm grays. Keep these in mind when you are choosing the paints for your Tuscan Kitchen Window Planter.

You can build your own wood window planter or buy some plain pre made window boxes. Be sure to prime them first before painting.

You will need:

Blue tape in ¼" width (2 roles for a large kitchen)
Egg Shell Or Semi Gloss Paint (3 Colors, One base color,

1 - 2 earthy warm colors
3"bristle brushes (3)
Roller brush
4 Paint trays
Glaze Medium
Scissors or exacto knife

Tip: If you will be using these window planters outside, then you will need to use exterior paint.

I like to start this project by painting all of the Window Box receiving the faux paint treatment in the kitchen a warm Tuscan inspired color that will be the base color. There is no white left in this project, so this is a good way to prevent any white area from seeping through your Tuscan Window Planters. A nice warm gray color is perfect for the base. A color like Realist Beige from Sherwin Williams would work well for this project.

Let this dry.
