Last year, Stacy of Vintage Scrap Shop saw a free piece of furniture on the curb in her neighborhood. She says, “At first glance it looked like nothing more than a pile of potential firewood but thankfully I managed to take a 2nd look & saw what appeared to be an old potting bench.” So what else could she do? She loaded it into her car and brought it home to give it a new life.
This run-down piece needed “a little wood glue, new screws & some fresh new paint” to freshen up. She went with a dark green paint for the bench. For the metal top and the grid shelf on the bottom, Stacy used a black spray paint that delivers a hand-hammered look. She also found a white plastic tub and a wire basket to fit perfectly into the empty sink slot. I’d be thrilled to have this beauty in my back yard, wouldn’t you?

Awwwwww! Thanks so much for sharing! I’ve enjoyed my little bench SO much this summer! It really was a “trash to treasure” piece.
