My Mother-in-Law LOVES to Garden. About a month ago I went to a craft store with her and she saw a potting table and said how much she loved it. So of course I thought to myself I could totally make one of those for her. The best part is we built it out of old pallets and wood we had around our place, so it didn't cost us anything to build!
This is such a great way to use an old pallet, looks fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am glad you stopped by. I hope you will consider becoming a follower!
DeleteWhat a great upcycle! The finished potting bench looks awesome. I bet your Mother-in-Law was thrilled to receive such a special gift :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was her touch of decorating it that made it look so great! Thank you so much for reading my blog!
DeleteThese are fantastic, thank you for sharing. We are now on the hunt for some old pallets.
DeleteThis is awesome! I love it! And it looks so easy to do as well! Did you just use a crowbar to get the boards off the pallet? I've had the hardest time trying to break mine down!
ReplyDeleteYes we used a crow bar and a hammer. They came off pretty easy but atleast 1/4 of the board cracked when we tried to take them off. but since pallets are usually free that wasn't a huge deal. And for some of the side boards to hide the framework we were able to use some of the cracked ones and it was fine. I am so glad you stopped by! I hope you will consider following my blog!
DeleteI love this! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteNow THIS is inventive. Love it! Thanks for showing how. Linda
