Upcycled Potting benches
Vintage Cottage Chic Style!
 This potting bench creation has been upcycled by Martha from a vintage cabinet. It offers tons of inspiration. Taking something and giving it a totally new use and look is always a fun thing to do. Do you have an old cabinet? How about an armoire??? Maybe one of these beauties will be in your future.
 So beautiful…looks like it should be in an enchanted forest.
Garden Web will share with you the DIY! An old table that has been shabbied in the most pale and perfect blue and then an old door painted to match the chippy table…a few little additives…and you have a perfect place to pot plants…hang some baskets and store some very needed items to get your plants ready for Mother Earth. If you are in need of a potting bench…you just might have everything you need right in your home…attic or garage…take a peek and create!
A table…some shelves…a burlap curtain and gorgeous pots…plants…tools and more. A Fairy Tale Potting station to say the least. This gives a lot of inspiration and many ideas on how to pull together the perfect potting place. For tons of gardening fun…tradgardsflow is the place to go
Our Fairfield Home & Garden
has kicked UP Upcycling an extra notch! A fabulous Victorian Vintage Sink…it’s a NATURAL for a potting bench…it’s totally perfect don’t you think! What whimsy not to mention a conversation piece…one that works in every way. Think out of the box and you will wind up with something Amazing!
A weathered door…or an old piece of discarded wood with age and character…place it upon an rusty…chippy…worn vintage sewing machine base and you have something heavenly! Drape it with ivy and terracotta pots with a touch of pantina and you feel like you fell into a fairytale. Imagine and your new potting bench is not far away! Need a bit more inspiration…take a little journey over to Skonahem
and dream!
So if you need a place to baby your plants…place your freshly cut flowers and make a beautiful arrangement…maybe root your favorite plant…there is an upcycled potting place waiting to be born. Think of a wonderful base and something that would make you smile as a top…maybe some shelves or an old cabinet…add them together and see what you get…I think you are going to experience some magic of your own and you will have one happy garden!
ENJOY
