Oh, A Pallet Potting Bench!

Hi blogging friends,

When I was growing up a pallet was something my grandmother would lay on the floor in front of a fan and all of us kids would take a much needed nap or if there were not enough beds you would find yourself on a pallet for the night.  Oh, if we could only go back in time and make that wonderful summertime nap last.  OK, wake up, back to reality!  Pallets are what I dragged home from my husbands last job and I had this great idea from Pinterest on building a potting bench.  Well, the pallets stayed around the house for a while until my son-in-law, Tim and his friend made it happen with just my picture from Pinterest.  Me and my Loving Man tweaked it a bit by adding a top and a shelf and some paint and I Love it!  It's also on casters so I can roll it around on the deck.

Repurposing is what I Love, everything including my garden angel with creeping Jenny hair!  Savor these last days of summer and the sweet memories of our grandmothers and a Pallet!

  3. It is fabulous!! I love the coat rack on the side and I have that cute pink watering can! I am in the process of trying to make a garden bench out of a vintage table and an old chippy, large shutter door. I plan on styling it similar to the way you have!

  6. Hi Debby....Your pallet bench is wonderful! and I love the way you've decorated it! I found that same ceramic dutch shoe for my daughter just this Spring...only in yellow! We seem to have a few things in common between our blogs.
    Have fun rolling your shabby bench through your place, and enjoy setting up vignettes with it!

  9. I slept on many a pallet in my younger life...then, after we started getting so many grands, if they all stayed with us for the night, pallets were in order once again. Great memories.
    Love the potting bench

  13. Love the pallet memory of granny, Debby! Your bench turned out so cute and I am drooling over your sweet pink watering can and little dutch shoe! The Creeping Jenny hair is too fun on your angel and clever idea to hand a expanding rack on the side for more watering cans. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
