Nautical Potting Bench / Patio Bar

Easy
I created a nautical inspired potting bench from 2 pallets, reclaimed fence and thrifty finds. This would also be a great summer patio bar.
I used the top of a full pallet for the back piece. I attached it to another whole pallet to create the top.
i attached scrap wood for the legs and made a bottom shelf from additional pallet pieces and reclaimed fence. It was trimmed out with additional fence and the top was filled in as well.
I painted the pallet parts an off white color with one board of blue then decorated it with nautical elements found at my favorite thrift store. These included cute little oars, some netting and an anchor hook.
A bottom shelf gives it extra storage.
This is a versatile piece and can be a potting bench, patio bar or fun storage shelf. It would be perfect indoors or out.
Ahoy Matey's Enjoy Your Summer!!
