    Default A GOOD find....

    I found an old dresser on the curbside,(free) it has a big round frame on the back where the mirror once was. I gave it a bath and left it rustic, I added a heavy coat of polyurethane. (This is for outdoors) It is now my new potters bench in the garden... I cut 2 circles in the top, added 2 potted ivies and I will let them grow up the empty mirror frame. The drawers are used for gloves, tools, fertilizers, ect... The legs sit on little brick squares I make to keep it from sinking in the dirt and rotting... This is one of the best trash to treasure projects I've done yet !! Looks great !

    Wow, I love this idea! My dh and I are big into gardening, and this is just the thing that would keep it all neat and presentable outside. I would love to see a picture of it too if you can post one

    Lori, that sounds like such a neat idea! I will keep my eye out for one for my back yard garden. Thanks for the great idea!
