by
Ana illausky
2 Materials
This is a basic design you can get online. With a few changes of our own.
With 2 x 4 s and 2 x 5.5 that we had on hand we began construction.
Every thing was cut to size.
Cut and nailed together.
bench/table in place, ready for solid stain.
This is my craft cottage with the addition of a potting area.We had to add a extension to the potting area deck for safety.
And here she is! All painted in a solid stain by Olympic paint called Seafoam.
I added chicken wire for extra detail and storage.
Towel rack added for clean ups.
These are pots that had a makeover to look old, they provide storage for soil and other materials.
The top shelf has some collectibles and storage items. Lets not forget my tea cup chandelier,( you find out on many of these items on my blog here on hometalk).
Hanging storage provided.
Well here she is! Now time to plant and CREATE! Thanks for coming by !!!

This looks just like my friends. She easily made, 10yrs.back using pallets. Already weather-treated. Painted like yours etc. No over hang tho. Used for potting, so no worries etc. Thought that's what this was 🤷♀️

Made from pressure treated lumber (LOWES). Unlike pallet wood, this wood was smooth and gave a more finish look when we used a tinted colored stain. The over hang is essential for rainy weather and shade from the sun. When the work is done, I can go inside my cottage and relax. This piece has given me much happiness in my garden since 2016 when it was built.
