The Potting Bench

About 7 years ago, I bought this potting bench from Target Online. I love it. It was the perfect size for my space (I wish I had bigger) and it is really handy. I use it EVERY DAY! I try to make it pretty, but at the same time useful.

Under that basket, the top of the bench is removeable and there is a tub. I store things in there and use it to plant or whatever. The little wire grid is perfect for keeping those things that you need often and you can just grab.

There is a little shelf on the side that pops up when needed and of course the great bottom shelf. I have no way of making this pretty. I've thought of putting a fabric curtain, but with the sun it would fade in no time and I'm afraid to stick my hand into a fabric covered dark space because of spiders. I really have to watch for black widows. I need that bottom shelf too much to store things. There is also a great little drawer.

This has been such a great little investment. (I think it was only $150.00 or less). I use it everyday and it has weathered the extreme sun and outdoor elements. Some of the best money I've ever spent.
