Potting Bench - A work in Progress




This is the Potting Table I put together last summer. I'm calling this my "Before", since I was never really satisfied with it. I spent last summer putting it together and tweaking it, but it's still not the way I want it. Which is why I didn't post it last year.


All the items were salvaged pieces, things I've had or "acquired" So it was completely FREE! Not bad for the price...


A Vintage Shelving Unit, sits on top of an old Farm Table, backed with an old Wooden Garage Door.


I added a stenciled Branch, with Birds, some buckets, and wire basket hold tools and Rusty Treasures


I attached another old shelf to the side of the house, a rusty mailbox holds larger Garden Tools



Below an old Umbrella Stand holds some rakes and a hoe, an old Quaker State Oil Drum holds my Bird Seed







Below you can see I tried using an old shutter, door, and Door frame... These are to hide my "workspace" behind. These are the main things I want to change.


It's a little Junky-er than I would like, but it really did serve it's purpose and saw a lot of use!







I can't wait to get started on the changes I have in mind!




Let me know if you have any questions...

  3. hi Lorri ... love your colors on the potting bench and adding the stencil looks great. Looks like you have everything you need close at hand. I love your clock and will make one if I ever find a lid like that. You are so creative.
