Cornice box re-do's

You all remember these correct?  

 They were cornice boards that I found in a field at Clines.  Well I saw them the first time but they would not fit in my car so luckily they were still in the field the second visit.  I snatched them all up - four in total.  Two long ones and two short ones. 
I knew what I wanted them for and with a bit of trimming and adding a back board,
we now have :
WINDOW BOXES 

 The two large ones were only inches too long- so hubby cut then ends off, reinforced them and backed them with another piece of wood that I will admit is not painted white yet.  (Too dang cold here to paint).  Don't they look amazing?


 The two shorter ones are a about 4 inches different in length.  I took them and put them around my front planter of flowers.  Hubby will have to make them look better later but I just wanted to see how it looked and I like it. 


So, now all I'll have to do is plop down flower pots of flowers come spring.  They will hold more water and be easier to change out when the mood hits. 
What do you think?  You like?
