Is this just the best use of old junk you've seen in a long time? Kirk (kirkus in WA) posted this on Garden Web last year and it popped up when I was searching for ways to incorporated architectural finds/junk in the new little potting bench - arbor Sweet Husband is building right now. I have to say this was absolutely my favorite potting bench I found. If you click on the picture it will take you to his post where he shows the bench before, and he talks about how he created it.<br />

I think you could make something like this one fairly easily. I'm surprised I didn't find any pictures of people making their own knock-offs. One thing that was not easily noticeable on it was that it had no back. This is the gray wall behind it showing through the shelves.<br />
<br />
My taste fluctuates greatly between a love for such clean lines of the RH and then the fun scroll delights of Kirk's.</div>

This one is very functional. I love the pull out bin for potting soil. I looks like it has a container inside of it. Good idea.</div>

Of course this would look great with the pvc fencing, and would last a very long time as well.</div>
<br />
The one "we" are building is much smaller than the previous garden potting shed. But it will still be functional and I hope half as cute as Kirk's. I'm off to see what old junk I have put away in the sheds, even though I don't remember having anything as pretty as those old scroll brackets.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Due to stolen content from The Decorated House Blog, this blog feed may be shortened.
