Potting bench from salvaged door




So Mr. Enchanted and I were scrounging through an abandoned barn one day this winter (um, don't ask), and I spied an old door.
 I knew IMMEDIATELY what we could turn it into.




By WE I mean Mr. E.  
He is the one with the power tools.

He added a shelf made from scratch lumber, hooks to hang tools and such from, 
AND




a mail box to hold my gardening gloves.

I LOVE it!  

And if this isn't great enough, I saw my first little sproutlings in the mini greenhouse!




So there you have it - an old door, a couple of hooks, a mailbox, and old lumber into a shabby fab potting bench.
Thank you Mr. E!



Oh, I almost forgot - I made what have turned into my ALL TIME FAVORITE cookies this week, and I can't wait to show them to you!

    This is a great idea. I have a love affair with old doors and have them all over my home in different ways but this is really cute and I may just have to make one of my old doors into a potting bench for the garden. So cute and fun.

    Cute potting door ! I think it would be cute inside your front door with hooks on it to hang coats on too. I love old doors.
