When we replaced the old front door on our 100 year old home, I couldn't bring myself to throw the old one away. This is how we transformed it into a potting bench with repurposed lumber and few new bits and pieces.

Potting Bench
The sink is the original one from the kitchen in the house, salvaged from the cellar.
The shelf is a $3 thrift store find.
The door knob plates from the old door.
The other plate.
A couple of clearanced hooks from Hobby Lobby.
I installed wire mesh into the window space and added this cross section so I would have a place to mount an old rake head for a tool rack.
The bench is in heavy use already.

I love this idea. I have the same sink from my grandparents house & I have it down in my garden area. I've been trying to figure out how to build a stand for it. Thank you for this idea, I'm going to give it a try.
