Building a potting bench out of pallets.

For a weekend project my husband and I built this potting bench out of pallets. Such a great way to recycle pallets and also so useful.

    I am so torn with all the wonderful projects you can do with these pallets, but I only have 1 and don't want to waste it on 1 thing then find several more ideas I wish I used instead.....

    Wow - you'd sure never know that started out as a lowly pallet! It's beautiful and you all did a super job!!! Watch out, the whole neighborhood will have you making these for them - hmmm, could be the start of a new business there!!!

    What a lovely job you two did! I especially like how you used the same stain as used on the door to tie it in with the landscape.

    I love this! Agree with the other comments. You did a great job and the stain makes it look expensive. Molly F., you should be able to find other pallets. This site has some suggestions: http://recycling.about.com/od/PalletRecyclin...
