I love the color you painted the bench. What a creative way to provide storage and work space.

That's perfect for storage. I thought it even looked good unpainted. Love your succulents I think I have some of the same ones. I like that curlicue wire trellis What are the pink flowers on it? And the gothic shape wire thing (fence?) What are the red flowers by it? That's really nice, it even gives you room on top to work.

Great recycling, sunnyca! Love your color choice & looks like you can use it for storage & displaying! TFS! Jeanne S.

Love the before and after pics. It looked good whether you would have left it rustic or painted.
Nice storage piece.

G to G, The flowers to left in lavender & red/orange are geraniums, I got a piece from 2 neighbors,they get big so only problem is lot of trimming back! The ladder was curb find & already that short,rustic with scattered paint spots, by tree is a metal frog on a metal rod holding a yellow flower,he is kind of crazy looking & fun. The little green curlycue thing is a little trellis in pot about 18in. tall it's close to right end where the antique watering can is sitting. Pink flowers,ah,well, should I tell...My DS was looking at bridge construction all the way up to San Fransisco & by large bridge he saw this succulent It is velvety, gets big & covered the hillside then it sends out 6-8in. long spikes with little pink flowers on them. I told him he shouldn't have taken a piece but he said he didn't see any signs. Well, I'm enjoying it & it is reminder of his trip it is actually sitting behind the bench & it gets about 2 ft tall,whole row of plants back there covered right now with orange blossoms dropping so will clean out after they finish dropping & last item is red geranium start to give away once it filled out. Thanks for all the nice comments, sorry it took a year to finally get it posted! I love it just as much or more after having used it all this time ! Jan

Your bench is absolutely stunning! I love it!

That is useful and GREAT looking to boot!

I love the bench painted. And that is a nice vintage planter on the top right.
Sounds like there was plenty of that plant!

You gotta love more storage, especially when it is done as cleverly as that. Great job, the whole little potting area looks like a great place to spend an afternoon.
