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!
How nice. I love potting benches. Love all your pretties too.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, that pink watering can takes my breath away! Adorable! Mimi xxx
ReplyDeleteIt 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!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, I love it!! Visiting from Home Matters!

ReplyDeleteHi 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.
ReplyDeleteHave fun rolling your shabby bench through your place, and enjoy setting up vignettes with it!

What a nice potting bench. Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I know about those "pallets" in grandmother's day! Such a sweet memory.
ReplyDeleteYour bench looks so nice.
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.
ReplyDeleteLove the potting bench
What a wonderful piece! Y'all did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI would love for you to stop by and share on Mondays for the Something to Talk About link party!
Have a great day!

Great job! I love how you re-purposed the pallets. Thank you for linking up at #HomeMattersParty :)
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
