Potting benches

[Heather]

Hey - does anyone have any nice pics of homemade potting benches?
I took out a kids sand table and I'm thinkin' of putting in a potting bench!
I would like to make it myself though - with an old tea trolley, bathroom vanity, dresser drawers - I don't know.
Can you inspire me?

While you're there with your camera, Zuzu - let's see more of the Tiny House!!!!

OK, here's the potting bench. It was my sister's, purchased from a garden shop, but I think it would be pretty easy to build one like it...

Oh, and I just blogged on the Tiny House this morning. Sorry, I don't have time to write it all over again here, so just pop by the blog. I'm only online for about 2 hours a day, so it will be written in Chapters. wink

Hey! There's a cute "how to" potting bench in the Aug/Sept issue, "Reader Scrapbook"... page 86!

Thanks Zuzu and Annielinz for the pictures, very nice.
Hillary - I haven't stumbled across that issue yet "up here", but will keep looking!
I'm surfing Craigslist for old furniture to convert to a potting bench... I love a project!

Hey Tammy - have you done anything with the piano yet? Perhaps you could turn it into a potting bench?

Zu - no the thing is still on the front porch looking like sanford and sons :)
But hmmm that is an interesting idea. Might have to see what I can do once I am done painting all this dang furniture and sewing for the show in October- oh and finishing up the kitchen too - hee hee

Oh my gosh - an upright piano into a potting table would be FABULOUS! Wish I had thought of that years ago when I still had an old piano.

Tammy -

Just went to check out the kitchen progress . . . I think we live in nearly the same kitchen!! My, you have wonderful taste! Think you'll feel like you're seeing double when I do finally get photos posted!
