I never had a potting bench before but the people who owned our
home before us left a work bench in the basement. We carried
it out the back and up to the garage for a potting bench.
It has been handy lately and I as you can see I had a bunch of
bird houses sitting on it that I wanted to paint.
These were
all cheapos!
As you can see my husband put up an
old school blackboard over it.
Yesterday I decided to use some paint that I had Menards mix for me that was really not the right color.
This was a good way to use it up:
The tins are for collecting plant
seeds and make
a nice gift!
The birdhouses have a new look.
Some already got hung in the tree.
I am calling this one "GREEN GABLES"!
I think Anne would approve.
I think Anne would approve.
Green Gables is adorable and Anne would approve!
ReplyDeleteThat potting bench looks wonderful! I need a space like this, too, but we don't have a garage and I'm not sure one would fit on the deck!
I haven't given up thinking about this though!
What a great idea for using up that paint. Everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteYou managed to make a hard working spot look beautiful! I love the color of your potting bench and the chalkboard. The birdhouses are adorable.
ReplyDeleteLove your birdhouses and potting bench, Bernideen. I like the chalk board saying that it all began in a garden...yes indeed.

Oh, I think Anne Shirley would approve of that cute li'l house. Love your new potting bench. It is such a wonderful transformation.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I have a potting bench that I love. They are so handy. Your bird houses are adorable. You are so good with paint. I guess I'm always scared of it, and never think, oh, i could just paint that! You are the master. I love the Green Gables one.
ReplyDeleteThe potting bench color looks great, a idea to paint the old chalk board to match.. Just a thought. Your bird houses are lovely and green gables is the perfect name.. All exciting. Happy Wednesday dearest... Lovs n hugs Janice

ReplyDeleteYes, Anne would definitely approve - so adorable! Anne of Green Gables caught my eye at the Share Your Cup party.
ReplyDeleteThe potting bench is great or is it a painting bench? The bordhouses are adorable. Lucky birds!
