The potting table evolution...

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.

  3. Getting the outdoor area nice - but to you actually use that for potting, or is it just pretty out there?

    1. The 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!
