Every Thursday, we like to post a picture of something we've found online that inspires us to do something similar at the farm.
Sort of our own blog bulletin board so that we can eventually look back and hopefully recreate it...enjoy!

| Repurposed Desk into Potting Bench and Planter, image courtesy of a friend of the farm! |
Recently, one of our "friends of the farm" blog followers sent us this picture. It is a desk that she repurposed into an outside planter and potting bench. Isn't it awesome? She did a great job. She took an old desk otherwise destined for the junk pile and painted it a wonderful pop of blue. Then she added the Dutch flower designs to the drawers and used the top two for flowers. On the back she added a pallet (aren't those things so wonderful and versatile?) and painted it the same color. Then voila, a flat surface to use for potting and a place to hand tools.
I asked her if I could post it and she was more than happy to share. I'm sure she'll read the comments here so let her know how awesome a job she did. It certainly inspires us and makes us realize that even an old desk can have a wonderful new life as something else entirely (and I like the blue!).
Be inspired!
