This inviting patio caught our eye with an intriguing little detail: each sitting atop a tiled and a wrought-iron garden stool, two cigar boxes used as planters. They look like little jack-in-the-boxes filled with greenery.

We love this idea for putting a collection to active use. While CalamityJon isn't certain the arrangement will hold up, we can definitely appreciate the resourcefulness, even if it's only in the short term.
