Years upon years ago my mother bought me this lovely little kitchen butcher block... It started out with a creamy white base and butcher block top...and since our kitchen has an island I moved it outside to someday turn it into a potting table.
I have painted it. A. Lot.

| No idea what I was thinking here... |
 |
| I liked this look so much better. |
This past weekend Travis quick built me a shelf/hutch for it to put my vintage watering cans, pots, and odds & ends on...
 |
| Yes, I painted it again. This time going with more of the grey that I love. |
 |
| new sisal area rug from Lowe's also helped to freshen the space a bit... |
I even moved an old chippy door that had been sitting in my living room to the back porch...
I'm on the lookout for a chippy coffee table and maybe an interesting piece as a little side table. Nothing matchy matchy, and definitely in the shabby/rustic look I love.
Oh love this - I need to paint the potting shed - that will be my september outdoor project! I am on the lookout for old shutter right now and a new rug for the gazebo.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I'd love a potting table
ReplyDeleteGetting the outdoor area nice - but to you actually use that for potting, or is it just pretty out there?
ReplyDeleteJoe- I actually do use it....though mostly for herbs.
DeleteHerb's what?
ReplyDeleteHar. har. Let me guess....you'll be here all week? ;)
DeleteI love the bench and the old chippy door,too! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThe door is one of my favs. Had it in the cottage- but you really couldn't see it, now it is showing itself off under the light each night!
DeleteI love your potting/water can shelf.
